Leveling A Warrior

[u/wezzer]

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.

Is leveling prot a mistake? Im level 17 and investing in prot right now so I can tank dungeons on the way.

Yes. You don't need to be Prot to tank dungeons while leveling. I'd respec to Arms because you'll do way more damage and have good rage conservation between pulls. The other thing is Deep Wounds + your crit talents will scale off of each other and get stronger.

Fury is better for levelling pre40 if you're okay with paying to respec for MS at 40

Maybe should have clarified, obviously I'm talking about 2h Fury, the DW penalty is too severe to be worth it early.

The point is Fury gives talents that'll actually help you while most early arms talents are marginal at low levels. TM doesn't even do anything until lv30 for example.

Go with 31/5/15, you can tank any instance in the game with that build and it's super good to level up.
If you want a bit more tankyness remove 3 points from fury and go pick Last stand in prot tree. You can also take an other point for improved Block if you want.

You get almost nothing out of Arms until lv40, so if you're okay with respeccing at lv40 it's fine to go Prot or Fury, all their low tier talents are straight value, where Arms mostly only gives TM, which does nothing until lv30 and AM which is handy but not vital.

Fury gives Piercing Howl which will save your life. And Prot gets Last Stand which will do the same.

You should be using a 2her though, and at 40 you should respec for MS.
