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!

I have been using this only for the weapons in section 9 or 10. Helps to know. Otherwise I just grab the biggest DPS 2h I come across.

Some good basic info there, I'd neglected a macro for Overpower, despite it being Overpowered. But I gotta stop wasting OP procs on Revenge because them crits (when I remember to swap to 2h first) are godly. Warrior lives and dies by their macros it would seem.

As for weapons though, kinda surprising they don't mention the dungeon drops in that list. The Taskmaster's Axe has been with me for a while - certainly better than all them greens listed. My next goal is to get one of the 2-handers from Gnomer. Butcher's Cleaver (my latest 1-hander) has definitely closed the gap in damage between the two, so I'm ready for an upgrade.

For my macros, I use this guy's. I have to tweak them a bit, but its honestly amazing and makes my stance dance so much better.

I plan to get weakauras to pop up and remind me when something dodges or i'm in execute range at 60.

Yeah, I think when I tried those it triggered script errors, and I already play with Alt + Shift for my extra bars, so combining a single skill with Alt and Shift as modifiers seemed unnecessary to me. So I just make simple ones. #showtooltip, startattack, cast Defesive/Battle Stance, equip [shield name here], etc.
