Most painful class to level

Pull 1 mob at a time, don't do quests over your level. Try to group for alot of quests.

At lvl 34-40, do RFD and SM quest to get the 1-handers. Once you hit 40, make sure you get into plate gear asap, it boosts your armor alot. And well.. grind grind grind if you're getting ganked, remember almost every class beats you while you're leveling (as warriors sucks ass without gear) so if you end up dying alot in pvp it might be worth considering just grinding every now and then.

Also I recommend grinding alot of levels after 45+ because having a couple of hundreds gold when you hit 60 is gonna be a good start to get the BoE and craftables you need as either tank, PvPer and/or DPS.

-Always level in a bit low level zones.

-Never go to overpopulated areas (aka Stranglethorn valley) even if it has a lot of quests, you ll be ganked and killed constantly.

-Grinding is a great option to level, if you find a mob you kill easy, well spread ( so you dont pull more than 1 at a time), in a non over populated zone, kill it, kill it till it gets green. Some spots are ogres in arathi, man pigs in barrens, crocs in dustswallow marsh etc.

- At level 53+ start doing dungeons to get your BiS armor (download Vqueue to find group faster)

- Did i say grinding is a great option? download an addon (titan panel?) to see your xp/hour ratio, youll find that grinding most times is better than questing. Look on google for good grinding spots.

- You ll need food to level, also always keep first aid maxed. If you see any mage around ask him gently for some food.

- Try to make some friends to level and play with.

- Hold up! it will be hard but you will reach 60.

-Edited: If you had any doubt, level as fury, more rage generation, good damage, flurry is great, regenerating som health after you get a crit is good to, enrage boost your damage...

Alot has been mentioned already. I have lvled 1-60 3x times on retail vanilla, then another 1x private server and then here and this is my take on it:

- 2h fury 1-40 then arms 40-60 (or 2h-fury all the way). Dual wield is terrible when lvling.
- Get first aid. This is required.
- Bring food.
- Bring healing pots.
- Make use of macros for faster/easier stance switching and versatility. (See my stickied thread in the forum). This will help you ALOT especially when tanking 5mans.
- Never fight more than 1-2 mobs.
- Quest in green areas. Yellow and red will be hard and/or impossible. I always quest in areas where mobs are 1-2 lvls bellow me.
- Tank 5mans, farm them alot and dont bring a 2nd warrior as dps. This way you get both DPS and tank-loot. Warriors are the most gear dependant class and some items will last you for 10-15 lvls before you upgrade.

I only have one thing to add to all the above advice, this mostly applies to level 1-30: Don't try to be a rogue.

That means, don't stack pure damage stats. Survive-ability is one of your advantages as a warrior, keep your gear up to date as much as possible and go for pieces with strength and stam, avoid just strength or strength/agi if you can.

If you are dying to single mobs you can do 2 things, try to kill it faster so it dies before you do, or add some survive-ability so you can live much longer. I find that adding survive-ability usually works better.

Until the mid 20's it's pretty hard to find a 2H weapon that is substantially better damage than a 1H, I usually end up using a sword and shield until that point. The 1H sword is slightly lower damage but the shield more than makes up for it.

Thank u guys for all the tips, but i need smth specifically for 1-30 lvl, can u please?
P.S. i`m newbie warrior and in vanilla too

[FlashyBR]

Thank you guys for the tips, i've learned alot from it

Some observations:

@PhilipRed
Yes i was planning to do a Fury Warrior to get Dual Wielding, because I created a Dwarf Warrior and i want make it like a Mountain King


@St0rfan
Really that dual wielding sucks on leveling can you tell me why pls ? Because i was planning on use dual wielding ,-,
Yes with my dwarf warrior I've learnt those professions: Mining/Herbalism(for gold gain, then later unlearn Herb. and learn Blacksmith) and First Aid.
I always too try to buy healing potions and buff elixirs/scrolls.
I had looked your macro's post before, ill get some to help me, cuz i never used macro.
Yes i never pull more than 2 mobs, the problem is with that $&*! mobs that run on low life, then I pursuit him to kill but generally it pull more before i can kill him, what you do in this situation ?



@Armilus
Hahaha this was one of my mistakes, in my thought Agi could increase Attack Speed, then i searched for equipments with +str/+agi HAHAHAHA



Again, thank you all for the tips, it was very useful and i appreciate it very much

There's a hefty 24%-something +hit penalty when using dualwield which you cant make up for until lvl60 with stacking +hit gear which doesnt exist on lower lvls. Only a few items can make up for that penalty in the early lvl50s and that is Ironfoe and (probably) Thrashblade due to their incredibly powerful procs. It's simply better to use 2handers when lvling up. If you manage to get Whirlwind-axe (dont choose sword or Mace) at your lvl30 quest it will last you until your late lvl40s.

Regarding agility, it isnt a bad stat. It gives you dodge, crit and even armor (althought very low amount) but Armilius is right in focusing on str+stam when lvling up. For tanking gear agi+stam is excellent though.
