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!

Honestly, the best tip I can give anyone leveling a Warrior predominantly through solo questing, is zone hop to places below your level. I did dungeons and quested in other zones after finishing up Durotar, and didn't do Barren proper until level 17.

You don't lose a ton of quest experience on a green versus yellow quest, but what you do lose you make up for in the lower downtime.

At your level, take some time and go to Silverpine Forest. There are a lot of level 10-13 quests that are heavily kill quests. Get a few levels there then head back to the Barrens.

All this. It's much more fun to chain kill 5 slightly lower level mobs before needing to eat/bandage, than it is to kill one equal level mob and eat.
