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.
