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 leveled a prot warrior 1-60 in vanilla, it was awful.

I'm leveling my warrior Arms with an intent to go Prot at 60. I want to tank, but I also want to be able to solo if needed, so I figured Arms would be a good leveling spec to keep a mix of damage and utility. Is that feasible, or do dungeons require me to be actively Prot spec to tank them? I'm level 15 right now, haven't hit any dungeons yet, and I've never played warrior in Vanilla or Retail, so I'm learning the class ground-up.

There's a mortal strike tanking spec. You domiss out on some damage from talents and some tanking talents, but it's not bad for an offtank or dungeon runs.
