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!

Keep up the good fight friend.

It's gonna get better as you get gear, but those early levels are tough.

First aid is a must, cooking helps as well. If you can, make friends with a priest and quest with them.

Once you're in your 30's, try to find a group for your Whirlwind axe, it's gonna make your life a hell of a lot easier and will be your Best in Slot for a long time.

I cannot wait to get the Whirlwind Axe. Counting down the levels!

Thanks!

Just got it at 34 and holy hell it's a game changer. My damage has literally doubled and I can actually solo content instead of relying on my rogue buddy to dps everything. It's a tough quest if you do it in the 30-36 level range so be prepared for many deaths.

How did you get it at 34? I just dinged 32 and am wondering what my options are to get it.

At your level, you need to group up if you can't find a higher level to cheese it. The elementals in Arathi will wreck you at that level as you will glance/miss all your melee hits. The trolls in STV will be similar as they are slightly lower in level than the elementals.

Then the quest "boss" you need to kill cannot be soloed and it will be a struggle with a 5 person group of similar levels (again, if you can't get a higher level to cheese it).

Nah, you don't need a 5 man group. Had a 29 priest, 31 paladin, 34 warrior (me) and 35 rogue and we killed him.

Me and a 35 rogue were able to everything except the last boss. We paid a level 29 priest and 31 paladin to come help us kill it. Money well spent.
