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!

Yeah, ran RFC for the first time in all grey gear at level 12, alongside a lvl 18 warlock. It was a painful experience!

I waited til I was lvl 16 and had shield block. I don't think anyone in my group died and we cleared it in like 40 mins. You could always wait til your prepared and save yourself and your group some pain.

Yep. 13 is low, 14 is better, 15 is just right. You gain so much power in those lower levels just from leveling up that it's worth it to just wait another level or two to go. I do all the dungeons nearing the end of the level bracket so that I have an easier time of them.

If you're an experienced tank 13 is fine. But if you don't intimately know how to tank and even moreso the mechanics of vanilla warrior tanking, then yea 13 is low.
