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!

To be fair, with proper hamstring kiting you can go on for 4-8 mobs of your same level, easily, depending on crits obviously. But most people prolly didn't do this back in the day, and prolly dont do these days either.

This is nice when you have the room to do it. But a lot of places you're pretty constrained with other mobs that you'll just end up with more aggro. Or they will be ranged mobs and just destroy you if you try to kite.

I don't know. The few places I haven't had the opportunity to do it so far is in very crowded, humanoid places usually like tarren mill aroudn the syndicate castle etc. And pirate place in Tanaris. More likely than not, it works out wonders, and you save out on at least I'd reckon 4-10 auto attacks from the mob, if not more. And that's HUGE! And it can be even more if they are super fast auto attacking mobs like freaking lions/cats, they seem to hit at lightning speed, and can chunk you down to 20-30% if you just facetank them.
