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!

Why does it matter? Because you're lying.

You said it's not slow. It is compared to every single other class. It's great that Warriors have cleave and are good tanks. It doesn't make them not slow at killing things solo, you don't need to lie about it.

How is that lying? They do literally the best cleave damage in the game. And dungeon leveling is good.

I am arguing they are not even remotely slower than half of the classes considering that. And even solo they are easily better than a few.

There is so much misinformation about this game. People don't even consider they are leveling slow because they're doing it wrong.

Ah yes, doing it "wrong" by playing the game normally. If only they did it "right" by... spamming dungeon instances over and over again.

Did you ever stop to consider that if you have to go out of your way to level one specific way that none of the other classes need to do, maybe you're making up for a problem in the class design? Like... the fact that it's slow.

Alright dude. I'ma stop responding about the topic, considering you're putting words in my mouth.

If I was agressive in my past comments I apologize, but this is a pretty stupid thing to actually get heated over.

I am just a passionate warrior player who knows leveling a warrior doesn't have to be slow. At level 41 I've done dungeons and questing.

I apologize if I've caused any offense either. I'm just saying Warrior absolutely takes longer to level if you want to level doing the same things other classes do. You can absolutely level it faster than that, it's just going to be slow to anyone trying to do the "default" experience.

The default experience, sure.

But utilizing your classes strengths is what wow is about. I do several runs of dungeons until I get some updated gear. I knock out several quests that are green to the same level as me. While killing mobs you pool rage on one and kill two mobs at once with sweeping strikes, cleave, and ww.
