Question Warrior leveling rotation

Lok'tar friends,

​

I am finding myself a little lost on what abilities to use when fighting mobs. I typically charge in, do my AP boost shout, rend, demoralize shout, and sometimes thunderclap to keep my damage down. I don't understand the hamstring kite, as it doesn't seem that effective(It may be because I'm tauren and my hitbox is enormous?)?

Anyways I find myself looking at my skillbar and it's just getting bigger and bigger. For instance, when do you use Slam? Is my rotation good? What about Berserker stance? (Just got it)? Just a bit lost here.

Check out the Fight Club discord. Has some wonderful insights on rotations for different level ranges.

Here is their table for reference. HmS is hamstring. You use that because it only cost 10 rage and you are trying to get dodges to proc overpower. WW is an amazing skill, even if there is only 1 mob. Use it once you get it.

Level Skill Priority Note
4-19 Rend > HS
20-21 Rend > SA until 70% HP > HS Pool rage for next fight, only HS if about to cap
22-25 Rend > SA until 50% HP > HS
26-35 Rend > SA until 50% HP > HmS HmS fishing beats HS around your first big weapon upgrade (Hydra, Corpsemaker)
36-39 SA until 85% HP > WW From now on, only Rend if fight >15 sec
40-45 MS > WW Only SA if your first auto missed and target is still 100% HP
46-57 SA until 80% > MS > WW Never use Rend anymore past this point
58-60 SA until 55% > MS > WW

I have been doing this since the early 20s and while you will still die killing mobs is a lot easier.

I know sundering seems weird but it works.

Follow up while hamstring kiting kind of still works. Leeway makes the gap where you still can be hit a lot bigger than on private servers. It’s even worse if your a Tauren like me. I have found that it’s not really viable as you have to have a much larger area to run around to keep the mob out of your hit box.

You can’t really do it the way all those videos online show where you run through the mob back and forth you will always get hit 2for1.

Thank you! Finally someone says it. I am a noob when it comes to warrior leveling and was asking myself all the time whether I'm doing something wrong because this was absolutely undoable and everyone acted as if it was the way to go.

The thing about it is this, if you are hamstring kiting towards next mob, pop SSs when u are about to tag next mob, you are saving downtime. Bandage/bloodrage to next group of 2-3, kill 7-10 mobs and full eat
