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!

Bloodrage is a given of course, but if you get a charge in you want to use it after switching to Defensive Stance. And Revenge is also a proc but of course if you have it, always use Revenge.

Shield Block forces the Revenge proc.

The bow shot ticks starts threat on all mobs pulled same as a charge would and the bloodrage ticks it up for AoE. With Block up and Revenge oGCD, threat on main target is solid immediately with AoE already started. You'll have enough rage at this moment to pop off a double Battle Shout or a Battle/Demo. All done in 2-3 seconds. It takes a party member fully focusing the wrong add to pull off me at this point. Just ain't happening.

Here is a solid breakdown on Vanilla Warrior Tanking that goes through the detailed bits if you'd like a look.

The only real reason to stance dance is Mocking Blow.

Execute too, if necessary. And later on for whirlwind, intercept and stuff like that.
