Warriors are undisputed heavyweight champions in WoW. They excel as main tanks, dealing great damage with dual two-handed weapon combinations. A warrior’s tanking skills are highly sought after, especially for boss encounters, and their role in a raid is almost revered.
However, there is a considerable gap between a novice player and end-game instances. Therefore, the most pressing question for a warrior is how to reach the level cap as quickly as possible. I have found a simple answer to this question: a WoW Warrior Leveling Guidebook. It provides an excellent leveling path and the best ways to enhance a warrior’s gameplay. Following the guide, I was able to become a main tank for my guild in a short amount of time. Here are a few helpful tips for improving warrior leveling that I learned from the World of Warcraft Leveling Guidebook.
To level up a warrior, it is important to use the right shouts for any situation. As a general rule, when leveling up, it’s crucial to deal high amounts of damage. Don’t forget to buff yourself with Battle Shout. When engaged in melee combat with melee mobs, Demoralizing Shout is a must to reduce their damage. Additionally, Thunder Clap is a useful debuff against melee mobs.
While questing, Cleave and Whirlwind are great AoE abilities that can help you complete quests faster. Being able to kill multiple mobs at once will speed up your leveling process. Since AoE abilities consume a significant amount of rage, it is essential to improve rage gain to be an effective AoE warrior.
When leveling my warrior, I choose the fury specialization. By wielding two powerful weapons with high delay and enchantments like Crusader or Mongoose, a warrior’s damage output can be greatly increased. The skills in the fury specialization also enhance rage gain and melee damage. The ultimate talent in the Fury spec, Titan’s Grip, allows the warrior to dual-wield two-handed weapons. Imagine a warrior character using two heavy weapons to AoE enemies.
As a plate wearer, warriors have superior resistance against melee mobs, especially if the quests are 2-3 levels below your character. For leveling purposes, you should focus on building attack power, critical chance, and stamina. The equipment obtained from quests is decent, but if you plan to buy new gear for leveling, prioritize acquiring good weapons first. However, don’t spend all your money on gear, as you will need enough for your mounts, and spending too much time at the Auction House searching for “goodies” can be a waste.
For a durable class like the warrior, mining and blacksmithing are the most suitable tradeskills. As a blacksmith, a warrior can create their own gear, especially weapons, by using the materials collected while doing quests. Blacksmithing is also beneficial for enhancing existing gear by adding sockets for additional gems. The high-level crafted gear will suffice for starting activities like farming with your guildmates.
