Classic WoW: Warrior Leveling Guide 2.0 (Talents, Weapon Progression, Rotation, Tips & Tricks)

For alliance folks; Rolling a Night Elf warrior is a great idea! They get bonus movement speed when dead, which will make your many corpseruns so much easier ;P

night elf ghost run speed really an't all that, only works if dead and idea is to not die. if running ally Dwarf/gnome is the way to go, undead/tauren for horde (undead for the corpse eating skill, tauren for increased hp/str.

[@joshuabrant3487]

To those considering rolling a warrior, remember that you are only as good as the healers keeping you alive. Some general tips for making healers like you: >watch their mana bars in dungeons, don't pull when they are oom >don't run out of their LOS when they are healing you >be aware of the position of the dps, if one of those mongoloids pulls adds, the healer will get aggro from the new mobs fast >make a macro, which announces when you pop your defensive cooldowns >give your healer any extra consumables you might have picked up since you wont need mana potions >compliment your healer when they do a good job >ask your healer if they need help with any quests after the dungeon >hold your healers hand >tell your healer that their dresses look nice >tell them that they are beautiful >take your healers on dates >kiss your healer on the lips >marry your favorite healer

There is a point to correct here : the /sit macro wont work on any enrage passiv available it was not a feature in vanilla and was corrected almost instantly it was find out. Only private server keep that bug for conveniante purpose and its confirmed by blues

[@justinn5357]

I hope more people are aware of this. His entire video is so much work but really like the sit macro doesn't work. It's better to go arms all the way with hamstring method.

[@shtroizn]

Good! I am glad it doesn't. It just doesn't sit well with me (excuse the pun) that a warrior charge in to face his enemy/enemies, only to then sit like a a-hole to get hit (and crit-hit at that)! Just ridiculous. So the whole fury talent selection for leveling - based off of this non-existent mechanic is null and void. I actually wonder if it doesn't make sense to level as a prot warrior. Sure - it's slower but also safer. Dying and corpse-running is time-consuming and the repair costs will hurt as well. A prot warrior might even be able to take on more than one mob. Definitely going to try.

[@teeatch1]

@@shtroizn It's been quite along while, but I remember having the same idea back in the day, the thing is that you kill mobs so slow that you actually end up loosing more life due to killing the to slowly, this also means more downtime/money speant on food to heal back up :(

[@shtroizn]

@@teeatch1 I agree. I checked the forums and yes - Prot is very slow for leveling. That said - I truly believe everyone should just play what class and whatever spec they want to enjoy the game. Not everyone is in a race to be 1st. in this and that. End game is awesome but the journey imo is the main part of the game.

[@Zack-dv6rz]

@@justinn5357 Would you level as arms the same way he does it in the video then?

[@ecclesiaandune687]

Glad you included the Arms level spec. For anyone not looking to speed level I STRONGLY recommend it. Tactical Mastery is amazing for tanking dungeons, and protecting yourself from ganks (switching to defensive/shield when a rogue ganks for example) or even just taunting off an ally who you're partied with in world. Lovely talent. Plus the extra rend damage is really nice with the Hamstring method. I personally disagree with taking improved charge, as I value the extra parry for PvP but maybe that's a bit of overkill. Couple of things id add. Remember warriors can use guns/bows! I strongly recommend picking this up as ranged pulls are very useful whilst levelling since double pulls often mean death! The first time I go to IF I'm always making sure I have 15 silver set aside for Guns and a gun/ammo - but as NE I guess you can get a bow early on Write a list of city trips - levels you want to be training skills, and also a First Aid reference, what level you can get the next bandage, and where the nearest trainer to your zone is. Also (I think) at 125 you need the book from Stromgarde to continue levelling it and 225 I think the next upgrade is a quest starting on Theramore Isle? Either way look that up! Don't fall for the WW Axe meme at level 30 on a fresh server. It's an iconic quest for sure , but requires farming level 37 elementals and a level 40 elite endboss. Without higher ranked players this just isn't going to happen. Sure, you can buy the tokens from the elementals from the AH if you're behind the curve, and beg in chat for help killing the boss...but kiss goodbye to your mount gold! My advice is skip it, and do the Alliance quest in Scarlet Monastery for Bonebiter. Oh! And last of all, since grinding is tough, and slow as a warrior, and you're a tanking class, dungeons are an amazing way to get caught up on exp! Download Atlas and keep an eye on when you have dungeons coming up and gather the quests ahead of time. As a tank you should find groups quickly , and a full quest clear can really push your exp along nicely. As for early tanking tips, pull with a ranged weapon or face pulls on packs (you can charge single mobs and keep the rage in Defensive stance if you levelled arms) use Sunder Armour for threat and Vengeance whenever it is up and tab target. AOE pulls are hard, Demo Shout is the usual go to, but generally tab sunders and revenges, shout and taunt will see you throughe

[@pallew]

Great comment, thanks! :)

One Sidenote, battlerage after the pull is actually a huge threatgain, multiples by the amount of Targets Hit. After the Initial Charge into shout u should stay in Defensive stance since U gain threat Levels Front that aswell.

[@pcolamojoe8840]

I have always played fury dual wield for raiding and dungeons but I really would like to master tanking. I always had problems taunting multiple mobs especially when mages or ranged tags off the main burn. Warriors are really an enjoyable challenge when you get it right and a great humbler when you wipe the group.

Isn’t battle shout more threat for aoe than demo shoot?

[@FreedomFighter08]

What a lot of guys forget is that Vanilla WoW was probably most peoples 1st mmorpg and the competitive mindset of min/making, bis items, knowing the meta mindset etc came from private servers/moba games/online competitive scene of gaming. Having the private server mentality of knowing everything, following a certain pattern will affect the true original vanilla experience. For example now when I play online games be it mmorpgs or mobas I always learn the meta and the competitive side of the game firstly. This mindset didnt exist before because it was all about the unknown, forging your own adventure and learning on the way not knowing everything which created a lot of adventurous memories, the true vanilla experience was before the competitive side of mmorpgs/mobas/online gaming in general came into play or when meta awareness wasn't a thing at all. I'm not saying it is the right way to play because you cant go back in time and reverse and erase memory but the true vanilla experience is not just about "no changes" it is also about the innocence of a child stepping into a world not knowing anything about wow/online gaming/competitive gaming/meta game & stepping into the unknown! Im so freaking hyped for classic cya there guys we're going home! :'-) !

[@magr187]

As a guy who leveled a warrior as a first char in vanilla, it's funny to see how "wrong" I did everything, but I see that specc wise it haven't changed a lot. Will probably do warrior again in classic, start of as tank and convert into DPS/offtank to change things up later. Warrior is so demanding, yet so rewarding.

[@novat9731]

Treating your attack speed, as reload speed is helpful. Attack speed implies that you would have to stand in melee range for the full duration of your attack speed, for an attack to trigger. In reality, the stated attack speed is your reload speed, while your true attack speed is instant. Ranged attacks are different however, they actually have an attack speed of 0.5 seconds. Be it ranged attacks from a warrior, Hunters auto attack ability or the usage of a wand.

[@FreedomFighter08]

But weapon speed increases swing dmg?

Improved Overpower in arms is the absolute god talent for fast levelling warrior. Yes it's RNG but with duel wield it doubles your enemy's chance to dodge, it's practically a guaranteed crit with huge bonus damage, near 1 shotting most standard mobs and combos perfectly with deep wounds and impale, the bleed finishing off normal mobs and overall incredible damage for elites too. Keeps you an exciting levelling proc and if you use 2h the numbers are massive.

[@terozen]

Hey! Great guide, but there's a misconception in there regarding the Anger Management talent. I believe Monkeynews used the exact same wording, so you might have got it from him, but there is no "hidden passive in addition to 30% slower rage decay". They wanted 30% slower rage decay outside of combat, and simply implemented this as 1 rage per 3 seconds, permanently. In combat, and out of combat. Effectively, when in combat, that 1 rage/3 sec is pure, passive rage generation. And, effectively, outside of combat, that 1 rage/3 sec slows down the regular, passive rage decay by negating it by 1 rage point per 3 seconds. You explain this talent as if there are two effects in it, but there is only one single, super simple effect to the talent, that simply ends up having a seemingly different effect inside and out of combat. Of course, the wording of the talent does not reflect this very well, though.

[@kargozgaming]

[@punishment2560]

One big tip for survivability if some of you dont already know. Dont be sloppy with your mobs. Theres some mobs that will sit there attacking you till they die... then there's those annoying mobs that run when they get to a certain health point. This can and will lead to more mobs aggroed and possibly you dying and you wasting time and gold that you dont want to deal with. Here's how you can change that.. that mob for the most part will run directly in the opposite direction he is facing. So if his buddy's are behind him and he gets low in health he'll turn around and run towards them. Instead, pull him a little more away from other mobs and get between him and his buddy's and YOU face a direction in which there are no other mobs behind the potential runner so he wont aggro more mobs. The worst part of low leveling is dealing with two mobs as a warrior. This will help a lot while leveling. Sometimes it's better to pull with a throw weapon then to charge in there. If you charge in there with a possible second mob close by then it's not worth dying for a little extra rage because you'll spend way more time and gold running back to your body and paying for repairs.

[@raserapps8230]

I just started on Classic WoW a few days ago. I played the original WoW a while back but stopped playing at around level 20 and this time around has been basically like starting over and learning everything from scratch. I picked a Warrior because I thought it represented my general play style in most other games. I like to be the heavy hitting, damage absorbing tank of the group, even on completely different games I always find a way to have the heavy weapon and be the guy who jumps into the boss, hits HARD, then jumps out before I die...then regenerate health, and go again. But the first minute or 2 in I hear that warriors are the hardest to level and play! I've been playing about 2 days and am level 12, but I have found this version of the game a lot more grindy and difficult to level up, but much more rewarding when I finally do get that extra level. I noticed the mounts aren't available until a much higher level, and the Gryphon flight paths are few and far between, so it's been a lot of running around so far! I think that has been the one thing that I have got a bit annoyed with, but not enough to stop me playing. Anyway I'm really enjoying it and I am sticking with my Warrior even if it is more work, I know it will be worth it when I get to where I want to be down the line. I can't wait to get in the Deadmines with him. I am lucky that my younger Brother is a veteran on both classic and retail WoW so he has given me a few good items to help me out, most helpful has been the huge extra bag space too! It really helps to have a knowledgeable person to ask questions and show you around a bit. Anyway sorry for my dribbling on, this game has been a great time-waster during the endless isolation and staying indoors. Thanks a lot for the video I found it helpful and interesting, I learnt a few things too!

Also, and I haven't watched the whole video yet but I would very much recommend a warrior to level arms. Way less gear dependent. All you "really" need is a big slow hard hitting 2 hander. Also, what he said about grinding out mobs is so true. Find a spot where you can farm some mombs that drop coin and you'll be good to go.

Important note RE: Sitting - in the current build of classic, sitting as described above will not proc beneficial effects, however, if you time a jump to come out as you are being struck while sitting, for some reason it will work. This method will actually proc the beneficial effects no matter what the final outcome of the hostile mob's attack is - even if it's a "miss" the game will proc your beneficial effects because it thinks that you "definitely got crit" although the timing is tight

[@Syngrafer]

Tried it - while I do get crit every time, it doesn't seem to proc the effects every time.

[@alphakilotv]

@@Syngrafer practice makes perfect, like I said, the timing is super tight however it is absolutely repeatable.

[@Screamt]

It's not even out yet, so don't expect EVERYTHING to be the same guys! They might mix it up a tad so just make sure you don't over prepare for a different turn out on this.

[@Adam-zb5kk]

Loving the guides. One piece of feedback: You scrolled too quickly through some of the weapon progression slides, making it difficult to pause the video and review details

[@kargozgaming]

thanks for the feedback bro..check out the presentation link in the description :) there you can review everything at your own pace and even click the weapons to get a direct link to classicdb

[@Adam-zb5kk]

@@kargozgaming nice. Will do

[@PhalanxR]

From what I remember from vanilla... Max out fishing/cooking/first aid every few levels and stock up on materials. Run every dungeon like 5x as you go because without gear you suck. Level as fury until you get whirlwind axe then spin to win. Also, you'll notice that you'll suddenly start getting like 10 auto attack misses in a row... walk backwards and it magically went away. /BLizzard

[@Kivrus]

Kargoz your guides are the best. Thank you! p.s. rly lookin forward 2 Paladin and Shammy's :)) keep up the good work comin!

[@ranchsalad7293]

Starting a orc warriors for hardcore today! Thanks for the guide its a lifesaver

[@austinwilbanks5919]

Sit/Crit doesn't proc BC or Enrage on live Classic.

[@ggmarzipahn4920]

That's b/c this is private server meta a great way to prep, but not 100% accurate. However the majority of the information is relevent

[@catclaws1847]

Never had a problem leveling my warrior in classic. I'm level 54 now and switched to arms at 34 when i got whirlwind axe. Didn't even know about hamstring trick lol. I felt really dirty using a staff for 9 levels though. Fucked up and respec twice and didn't get mount till 47

[@Ramcas42]

The /sit stuff apparently won't be working in classic, will you update this guide to reflect that?

[@RainniteGaming]

a big thing to do at 51. get all of your AV quests and Q up. you can get most of the quests done in 1 BG and you get the Ice Barb spear. that thing will take you to 60. also it will get you started on your rep for AV. the faster you can get exalted the better. as a dps war it lets you buy the UF 2h mace and a good starter sword and board for off tanking.

[@dOdAdEish]

I would absolutely love a Guide for leveling in a group. Im gonna level with my friend probably as arms enh and there is almoust no guide or content that talks about how to optimize leveling as 2.

[@Keeladron]

Made an orc warrior November 23, 2004 and that was the only character I ever played until wotlk released so I can't relate to it being the hardest character to play but it did make classic and burning crusade feel like a very rewarding game!

[@01dixieforever01]

/sit macro doesnt work in classic.. confirmed....

[@luckylikey9280]

went here to confirm that too... i don't consistently seem to get crits anymore when sitting.

[@MergyX]

*copy pasted from warrior discord guide* you can still use this technique in a slightly modified way, by exploiting the way spell batching works; any self-action is instant and any action taken upon another unit is batched and applied in 400ms ticks. What is batched though is just the application of damage or healing and any buffs or debuffs that come along with it; when melee attacks lands the attack table roll happens immediately but the damage isn't applied until the next spell batch window. If you sit and a mob attacks you the server will 100% roll a crit, and if you manage to stand up (a self-action so it's instant) before the next batch tick that applies that crit's damage you'll receive the damage when you're standing and Enrage will trigger because reactive procs like Enrage and Blood Craze only activate when you actually receive the damage.

[@01dixieforever01]

VKGchaos I don’t get ir

[@WhatDuhDogDoin]

kyle hanson He’s saying that when you get hit the damage isn’t rendered immediately, but milliseconds after. What this means is that you stand up JUST before the damage is applied, not counting it as a crit because you technically stood up. But if you manually stand up just as you’re hit, then it confuses the game into thinking you were sitting down. Doesn’t make much sense to me, but I haven’t tried it in game yet.

[@jesse9339]

using a /sit macro in raids generates rage. not for your character but for your guild. CONFIRMED!

[@jackshiraq575]

Not sure if you mentioned, but if you're leveling a warrior, run the Enrage talent and make a macro /sit . Use it every time youre in combat and you have a free enrage +frenzied craze pop. 100% crit chance taken when sitting :)

[@TheIrishdude85]

Can't wait to see your take on the Mage guide since as I said in your previous video that is going to be my main and has been still looking forward to it

[@InfraWoW]

Oh yes, a mage guide would be awesome! :D

[@jy5490]

It actually blows my mind that a classic warrior guide got over 1m views.

[@LionMartell]

Kargoz: the hero we don’t deserve.

[@kargozgaming]

i appreciate you bro

[@Babaganoosh69]

Using this for Darrowshire fresh, your guides live on!

[@iberaider]

/startattack works in Classic cus it's running through the modern engine.

[@FuruKatsuragi]

Don't change weapontypes when you wanna hardcore lvl - raising a new weaponskill especially 2h weapons takes a long time. Progression look fine for me if you for the 2h axe route which all horde should do. Also consider running dungeons - if you wanna rush to 60 for server first you won't do them and that cuts deep into your potential gear. lvl 3 vendor axe lvl 10 vendor axe lvl 14 quest axe from barrens lvl 17 quest axe from barrens and at 30 you wanna go with the vendor again because its nice and slow.

[@TourettesOrc]

/cast Heroic Strike /script if not IsCurrentAction(24) then UseAction(24) end;

[@cat4luny4]

what is this for?

[@GarredHATES]

Yeah wut?

[@theblakejackson]

I believe its auto attack macro baked into heroic strike, with auto attack being on your 24th spot on ability bar. however im not sure you need it, my /startattack works fine in classic

[@a123208855435]

not working on classic

[@TourettesOrc]

@@a123208855435 thank you for confirming. I thought it was something I may have done wrong.

[@sannyboi7298]

Great Video's. Good refresher after so many years away from the WoW scene. And the addition of a powerpoint is a great Idea.

[@Sebdes23]

Leveled and geared up two warriors in vanilla. I’m only watching this for nostalgia. Do you guys think an Arcanite Reaper is still worth crafting ?

[@RW77777777]

that would depend how long between patches your Vanilla experience will be. It's very powerful if MC is the only thing out there. Less so, if your guild can buy 3 Bonereaver's Edge from a GM.

[@rayoza2607]

I hope the ol’ PvP legends of vanilla return when Classic drops. TALKIN’ TO YOU, LAINTIME! I saw you streaming WoW a few weeks ago!

[@ZukoBy]

Warrior for life!

[@gwiibear4875]

Always the best guides video with the most clear interface around there @Kargoz. Very good job. Keep it up!

[@AleksandrHramcov]

Now in patch 1.13: 1) Hamstring method does not working. 2) You cant get crit damage using /sit macro Guide is out of date. We need new guide =)

[@xersys]

This is what happens when people write guides based on private server information

[@Presence_o_Mind]

Hey Kargoz. Great content man. I always enjoy your videos. If you could just slow down when you click through the weapon progression pages next time, it would be appreciated. Maybe leave a link to a Google doc or something in the description. Once you got to the Horde section, you didn't even leave a full second to pass between pages which makes it harder to get a screenshot of them on our phones. Good stuff regardless. Thanks.

[@Presence_o_Mind]

Lol. I just saw the link to the presentation above. Scratch my previous suggestion. Thanks again man.

[@Moneyyang89]

Dude! Blizzard should hire you. You present their shit at professional level. Better than they can do it.

[@Nerobyrne]

well they are already paying Bellular, so who knows!
