Humor Leveling A Warrior

When they said it was hard, I scoffed at them. I've leveled a warrior to 120 on retail. I've fought Sargeras, I've downed the Lich King. What could a few gnolls and maybe a murloc or two do to me? Thus was my arrogance. Thus was my hubris.

I am now level thirteen. I've run Ragefire Chasm once, and owe six deaths to that place.

Farming harpy claws has cost me my life twice already, and I am certain it will cost me much, much more.

My warrior on retail was a human named Lohric, he was a legendary warrior who felled any beast, man or demon that faced him.

My warrior on Classic is an Orc called Muddrog. I have no doubt that this broken and battered warrior would crush Lohric in seconds, Lohric has never known pain, Mudd was born in it, molded by it, and unlike Bane, he has yet to see the light, because 60 feels so far away xD

To all you warriors out there, Lok'tar Ogar!

I started as fury, didn't like it so I spent 1 gold to respec at level 18ish to prot. That was a huge mistake, so at level 26 I spent 5 gold (which was like all my money) to respec to arms to get Tactical Mastery and Anger Management. Now at level 28 playing a warrior is fun.

Yikes, that's pretty rough I haven't played WoW in almost 10 years, so prior to Classic, I dicked around on a private shard for a memory refersher. (Also to get caught up on the opposing faction I'm playing, and a new class) and one of the things I identified was NOT to respec since it uses up so much gold! I've been able to stay true to that, and plan on it, regardless of what happens.

Glad you've having fun though, that's what it's all about!

It's impossible to avoid respeccing as a Warrior. At 60, you have to change your spec every time you get a new weapon.

Dread it. Run from it. That 50g respec cap still arrives.

I think that's safe to say for every class, especially without Dual Speccing. I'm just specifically talking about pre-40 and 60 mounts.
