[@ghostedbones6478]

Thank you for visually showing the Hamstring Method. All the high viewed guides never show it, only mention it.

[@loobie3993]

This guide helped me extremely, i used to play rogue for about 3-4 years and coming to warrior in classic was really tough, the amount of downtime felt so long and the damage i was dealing felt like nothing. After following this guide I’ve been able to grind up to 26 in 4 days. Keep up the great WoW Classic vids!

[@Atacas]

Loobie thanks man, I appreciate it, I’m glad I could help!

[@DaleStrife]

I have watched all the big name guides, and this was by far my favorite! I like how you actually showed the hamstring/kite method, and went over the weapon progression in more detail! These two things alone make the biggest difference IMO. Subbed and will continue to watch for more awesome Classic vids!

[@Atacas]

Dale Burns thank you brother!

[@TheToledoTrumpton]

You can solo the elemental at the end of the Whirlwind axe quest at a reasonably low level. The key is to use 2 nature resist potions (all its serious damage is nature), and interrupt (stun interrupt), the big damage ability he has. If you are a Tauren or have the stun trinket, it is much easier. If you are a Tauren with the stun trinket, it is a breeze. haha breeze - get it!

[@Kaiyuni]

Good luck getting those on a fresh server, and if your server is at the point where those are just floating around, chances are you can get a higher level player to just smash the Cyclonian for you.

[@TheToledoTrumpton]

@@Kaiyuni You don't need the big nature resist potions, the small ones will do.

[@Kaiyuni]

@@TheToledoTrumpton but you also need materials and such which come from higher level players. Honestly, the best solution is to just throw a level 60 like 10 gold if you have that kind of spare gold laying around to beat the cyclonian's ass for you, assuming your server isn't brand new and 60s exist.

[@Veterans_for_Harris]

Thanks for showing the hamstring kite. Everyone talks about it but you're the first demo I've seen.

[@dillonthompson7250]

I've heard from alot of people it doesnt work in classic anyway

[@curcuru11]

Doesnt work at all

[@Atacas]

Vivereftw thank you! I appreciate the support!

[@youb7237]

Really enjoyed your guide. If you want to level even faster with your warrior, level with an enhancement shaman. you wont get ganked as much, you'll be able to do top tier weapon quests without worrying about time, the shaman has ankh and rez if you happen to die, but most importantly the damage added from windfury totem, strength of earth totem and battle shout is the equivalent of adding a third group member. the xp loss from mobs ends up being worth it if you are both committed and spec right.

[@Kaiyuni]

Obligatory "same thing, but paladin if you're alliance". Paladin has even more than shamans do for a toolkit and can respond to ganks better. And when in doubt, bubble hearth.

[@bulkathos154]

Pro tip that i don't ever see anyone talking about is to utilize the Blood Shard buffs (Especially the +25 spirit for 30 minutes) at Camp Taurajo. This spirit buff makes stopping to eat or bandage a non issue for warriors, and allows you to continuously grind well into your mid 20's. Once you've got enough shards, get the Agi, Str buffs along with Razorhide. Once you hit level 20 and get cleave you kill 2 mobs at the same time over and over again easily! Give it a test and Good Luck my warrior bretheren!

[@SuperYtc1]

Yo brother haha

[@Fulgrim_The_Phoenician]

Pro tip after lvl 20: Dont use Heroic strike unless you wanna dump rage. Heroic strike doesnt generate rage and uses 15rage for a small dmg bonus. Use Sunder Armor! Less armor = more dmg, more dmg = more rage and its a instant ability. It can also proc Overpower ;) This works especially well for 2h warriors.

[@burianekjohann7472]

I was expecting you to talk about executioner's blade.Great tips I would love if you could talk a bit more about weapons, and maybe some vendor limited ones but I suppose you priorities gold for the mount.Keep up the good work!

[@Atacas]

Burianek Johann thank you! Yeah this video was purely about spending the least amount of gold you can while leveling as quickly as possible too, maybe in the future I’ll go over other weapon choices that take a bit longer to get

[@romanferguson4032]

horde weapon option in the lower levels - look for the vendor patrolling ratchet -> xroads, heavy spiked mace. thing is a beast 12.5dps

[@glenkillian6007]

I use a macro that switches back and forth from Battle stance to Defensive stance, while equipping the appropriate items, indefinitely. /cast battle stance /eq (weapon name) /cast defensive stance /eq (shield name) /eq (weapon name) To insert the name of the items just shift click on that item when you are typing in the macro window.

[@salsmith725]

Great video but there are a couple of things that i want to touch. When you are hamstring kiting you don't want to wait for your swing timer to go ALL the way up before you start running towards the mobs, you will lose a lot of time this way. Lets say you are using a 3.6 second weapon, if you wait for your swing timer to go ALL the way up before you start running towards the mob you basically turned your 3.6 sec weapon into a 4 sec weapon which will make you lose a lot of time in the long run. What you want to do is start running towards the mob when the swing timer is around 85% - this way you wont lose time between your auto attacks. The other thing i wanted to touch on is your stat priority. You don't want to kill mobs in your spirit gear because the time you "gain" between mobs is lost due to you wearing that spirit gear in the first place. If you really want to optimize your downtime you should use an addon called "outfitter" and change into your spirit gear between mobs. Strength is almost useless while you are leveling since most of your dmg comes from your weapon anyways so the stat priority i recommend is agility > stamina > strength.

[@Atacas]

Sal Smith I know the example of kiting wasn’t perfect, so you’re right about that, as far as wearing your spirit gear, just as you said, most of your damage comes from your weapon, I’ve tried both ways, using outfitter, and not, and in my experience the difference in kill time is negligible, but I do appreciate your knowledge and input!

[@salsmith725]

@@Atacas just some constructive critisism. Looking forward to more vanilla videos from you!

[@Atacas]

[@darthimperius2865]

The warrior is the best class to level due to it's difficulty it always felt more rewarding.

[@Atacas]

Jack Briggs my thoughts exactly

[@Ghost-fe1vp]

Hardly, It's difficult for silly reasons, you scale badly with gear, leveling a warrior isnt a skillful effort or an effortful event. it's just annoying.

[@lerchomat]

@@Ghost-fe1vp scale hardly with gear? I bet you feel a big difference once you get a new weapon every few lvls lol

[@zombiegodsire]

yeah but how come every time i see people using hamstring method they get a little bit away from the enemy and it doesnt hit them yet when im 50ft away they are still attacking me somehow

[@theragingtigergames1791]

[@dag5852]

This is a great guide, short and concise with helpful tips. Well done.

[@Whisperfall]

For Weapon progression on Alliance I recommend the following: [Smite's Mighty Hammer] (w/ Fiery Weapon)@lvl 18 - [Whirlwind Axe] (w/ Crusader/Lifesteal)@lvl 30 - [Ice Barbed Spear]@lvl50 until 60. You can probably fit another two hander in between WW axe and spear from ZF. Acquire these items as soon as you can equip them; but it will require you to ask a guild member to assist with the dungeon/quest. It will take them 30min. of their time and help you tremendously through the leveling process. After WW axe you'll feel like a God, cheers!

[@anotherforkingchannel8129]

There is a tauren specific mace, you can get from doing the venture co quests in the tauren starting zone. I know you can't include it for all, since it's specifically for tauren, but I highly recommend it, since it's better than the class quest axe. Do you, or anybody else for that matter, know if the quest is available at release ?

[@anotherforkingchannel8129]

Another thing i found useful when lvling my warrior on nost/elysium w/e was cooking as profession. I spent way less on food since i could supply it myself, and it adds a nice small buff for you, often more spirit.

[@sasa1982uk]

Interesting take on the professions, im still going with first aid, cooking, alchemy and herbalism.

[@N5811Bot]

[@alaskanmalamute101]

For me my weapon progression goes like this on Horde Side: Large Axe, Thun'grims Axe, Axe of Orgrimmar, Zhovur Axe, Crescent Staff, Corpsemaker, Whirlwind Axe, Ravager after that theres different options u can go..Arcanite Reaper been the best of the non raid weapons.

@@Atacas i dont know what u are talking about... im still doing it, the mobs catch up faster but if u just move in 1 direction and not back and forth like u did its doable.

That's a really great vid, I'm just wondering though.... Can you tank SFK? We can summon.

[@Atacas]

Hahaha I love it! Glad you caught that!

[@SmithyD86]

Having lvl'd a warrior in vanilla I can honestly say I found it more enjoyable to level after I got a warlock to level 40. You can farm all the mats required for whirling axe and because you don't pay for a mount you can afford to buy a load of greens for early leveling - which on a warrior is just a god-send. Not to mention you should have at least 15-30g spare to put toward your warriors mount. If you level on a fresh server it's not gonna be so fun! Just my opinion, but you know what, the world will be buzzing with millions of old players back, do what makes you happy!

[@u.b.5366]

Tauren should make sure to acquire the Goblin Smasher in Mulgore: classicdb.ch/?item=4964. If you do the quest in a group of 3 to 5 as its a killquest, you can easily do it as low as level 6-8 and it greatly increases your damage. Seeing how earlier in progression it is, chances are high as warrior that you won't be ahead of the curve yet.

[@jkl3199]

You made the video! Nice job, dude.

[@Atacas]

JKL thank you! I’m gonna keep bringing content out so stay tuned!

[@Longtimer49]

My friend and I recently did the whirlwind axe quest as a 30 warrior and 30 priest, that shit was hard as hell. We had to log the priest off mid combat so he could relog and drink while the warrior hamstring kited lmao

[@Atacas]

Longtimer49 honcrap haha that sounds epic though!

[@ryanjames5866]

Starting weapon should be fishing pole

[@Milkyman92]

Fishing Pole have 1.0 dmg ?

[@dasse1588]

I prefer a skinning knife

[@floorix9308]

I have levled a warrior 1-60 under 7 days /played. I can say it's pretty accurate video BUT keep in mind at lvl 55-56 i stop going for 60 until i have attument / preraid-bis for tank/dps. So when i reached 60 i was already geared for onyx/molt + maxed level. What i'm trying to say reaching level 60 asap ain't that important when the game is fresh.

[@tybones2222]

What did you do more of questing or killing mobs. Or a little bit of both

[@jaypatel2734]

Think you can go into detail more about this?

[@klocka88]

If you are ahead of the curve, you should farm green whelps in DWM. If you're really ahead you should grind them from like 35-40 or so, really boring, but god damn, you will have your mount at 40, + alot of quests to do then aswell. And with skinning and mining (lots of iron nodes there) you will make crazy money :)

[@Atacas]

[@andrewvader9077]

Trolls blood is prime for keeping the rage flow up!

[@Andrew-qu7lq]

Nice video. Warriors are so gear dependent that I would say it's worth it to venture into dungeons at least once to do the relevant quests. Many have 3-6 quests and thankfully warriors are always highly wanted to tank. Also, speaking of dungeons, don't forget that is your hearthstone is down, you can leave group and get hearthed out regardless. Sometimes it's faster to even invite some random guy, make him party leader, enter dungeon and then drop group than to run back or fly to the capital city.

[@sparkofcuriousity]

you did great job! very very good video for a new warrior.

[@NVMiele78]

Enjoyed this though I'll be rolling Troll Mage. Would love to see a video for AOE grinding. Ideal classes and specs as well as grind spots and the mechanics involved. Seems like it would be viable even on a fresh server at the start simply because by the time you have the necessary skills things will have thinned out some.

[@Atacas]

That is definitely in the works, next on the list for me is a Rogue Speed leveling guide, but Mage seems to be in high demand as well, so I'll get that one together as soon as I'm done with Rogue :D

[@jean-michelnicolas9999]

There won't be AOE leveling on a fresh server : too many people for too few mobs. Private servers have mobs repop completely wrong.

[@Atacas]

@@jean-michelnicolas9999 You raise a good point, but if you happen to be ahead of the pack you may be able to squeeze some in. The respawn rates might not support consistent AoE grinding, but the method for when you can AoE pull will remain the same.

[@Riecheck]

Anger Management is no doubt amazing and not a lot of people know about it. You got that and the spirit while leveling on the head. Another macro you should be using is an auto-attacking macro

[@Atacas]

Very true, I think that a lot of abilities on the retail client will cause your AA to start even if you don’t have the resource, but I could be wrong, and I figure that will be something that slides under the table with the new Classic client we get, but yes, definitely need start-attack macros for like every ability haha

[@jake_with_the_BIG_snake]

Really good guide. I think fury until you get mortal strike is best though. Piercing howl for low leveling is king, can't remember how many times that talent has saved me from dying from bad pulls. Would it be possible for you to do a compilation of all the quests that awards really good spirit gear up until level 30-40 ish for horde/alliance? I have never tried to level with the spirit method but if i understand correctly you would even take a cloth piece rather than a mail if it had higher spirit. I suppose the ideal thing would be to have a set of spirit gear out of combat and then switch to agi/str gear when pulling. Cheers

[@Atacas]

jakhopp i can look into it, but I think most of the gear you get with spirit ends up being from random drops, but yes, you can have a set you use outside of combat, but its not entirely necessary, you still do comparable dps wearing the gear

[@R1po]

With lvl 30 you can get Whirlwind. And I used Troll's Blood for passive heal while leveling. So I could go for Strength instead and kill stuff.

[@phentin9144]

deep arms low level is very nice imo. kill a solo mob for rage, pool at 70-90. pull 3 others hamstring, kite sweeping strikes and cleave them all down. easy money easy xp. fury overrated, although it IS better if you prefer pulling 1 mob at a time instead of multiple.

[@Atacas]

Phentin nailed it brother!

[@diskarnSC2]

Any reason for skipping crescent staff on the horde progression?

[@grimmtruth]

The Cauldron Stirrer staff from a quest in the Barrens is much better then the starter warrior weapon quest and is achievable at lvl 10 even though its a lvl 15 quests

[@j0nayblade]

seraph's strike might be a lvl 14 weapon if the quest lvl requirement is set to a late patch at launch

BFA Guide no problem brother!

[@Xylio979]

I see people always showing grinding spots where you farm beasts so you can skin them while grinding for more gold, but do you think grinding humanoids could be better? I tried searching this up but didn't find any answers. Cloth, Grey items, passive gold drop and higher chance of greens makes it seem like it could be good, any thoughts on this?

[@Atacas]

Fouren yeah, i think it could be viable but usually with humanoids, at least to me, it seems like they have higher damaging abilities, i could be wrong, but thats why i stay away from them

[@Xylio979]

​@@Atacas That may be true. I have noticed before that fighting humanoids seems to be more dangerous, but I bet there are some places with humanoid enemies that are not as dangerous as others. They tend to have abilites and be more grouped together, so I do see why it could be harder or not worth it. Could possibly just grind enemies 1-2 levels lower too. Was planning on picking herbalism instead of skinning, so thought it could be better to farm humanoids instead. I feel like whenever I do a quest involving killing humanoids I almost always get at least 1 green out of killing them, so the idea just popped up in my head. Great video btw!

[@Atacas]

Fouren thanks brother!

[@user-fp1pj2bn3u]

Good guide, but some parts of it can misleading tho. You should not train Heroic Strike, cause the dmg increase with ranks is pathetic and you won't be really using it with hamstring-kite method. Also as soon as you get slam and talents for it in fury tree, this ability will compliment hamstring-kite method if used properly with a slow weapon. There is a lot more available weapons(and if you going to advertise hamstring method, then why put 2.7, 2.9 weapon speed in a guide???), for example Archeus from Mor'Ladim quest chain, which can be easily done with a group, cause everyone going to do it. Spirit works only if you stack it heavily. And if you are grinding on mobs and quests that are 2-4 levels lower than you(as you should), bandages will be mostly enough to regen your health between pulls. Although I must say that stacking spirit will be really good if you go for Sweeping Strikes and pull 2 mobs(but i recommend waiting for whirlwind ability, WW axe and executing this method only on mobs 2-3 level below you). Also don't be shy pulling 4 mobs and blowing your Retaliation every 30 minutes.

[@Atacas]

You raise a lot of good points, I don't believe any one way is perfect, but this is the way I prefer to do it, sure it has it flaws, but it has its strengths as well, thank you for your input!

[@alexmercer2743]

I thought I'd also mention Staves here. Staves actually have really good DPS for their level a lot of the time, and if you cant get the weapons here for whatever reason it might be a good idea to try and get your hands on a staff. They often have Spirit and Stamina on them, making them decent choices for levelling.

Did I miss the part where he talked about range weapons? Because this can't be a guide about warriors without mentioning range weapons. Hamstring, rend, and a trusty gun will take care of anything that can run away and *will* save your life if you are in mobbed up crammed spaces like keeps or mines. Also no mention of cooking despite it being incredibly easy to level since you will be getting loads of meats while questing. Overall good guide to point out common sense things that don't seem to be so common among warriors for some reason.

I wondered if you had plans to do any more of these guides? I see you have Warrior and Rogue, and haven't looked further enough, but do you have the likes of Mage, Paladin or Priest maybe? I'm really tempted to go healer this time, I hear Paladin / Flash Heal spam is the best / easiest class for this? Any suggestions? Thank you :) Subbed btw (y)

[@PandoraNetworkTube]

PS just found the Mage one lol thanks.

[@Atacas]

Pandora Gaming Network thanks brother, I plan on making them for every class, just gotta get around to it, I stay super busy and they take a long time to make

[@PandoraNetworkTube]

@@Atacas Nice one that's great, appreciate all the effort that goes into them! :) You'll need to let me know what server you plan on joining closer to the time, wouldn't mind joining your guild assuming you'll have one, seem very knowledgeable about the game! :) I much prefer PVE.

[@janhudak1004]

also i would like to ask a question. Do you think it's worth it to take mining or herbalism when classic starts? will there be for example copper vein for everyone on the server for some time or it can be taken just by 1 player from the whole server?

[@Atacas]

Great question, they only way that they will have multiple nodes in the same location, available to multiple people, is if they do sharding, if they don’t do sharding then you will be fighting over nodes, but because smelting increases your mining level, mining is the way to go if you are going purely for money. I’m gonna make a video soon going over all of this in-depth, stay tuned!

[@jinxp5607]

great video Atacas! , could we get one for mage and rogue :D

[@Atacas]

Jinxp mage and rogue seems to be in high demand! I will get to work on that!

Where did cauldron stick at lvl 10 go for horde ?

Someone helped me get a whirlwind axe is it better to use or the silver spade

[@Terrranfear]

good guide what do you think about duel wielding and utilizing the higher dodge/miss rate on the offhand with over power

[@Hurley76]

Miss and dodge aren't the same thing. Missing won't proc overpower. Dodging has nothing to do with the weapon(s) you have. It's all down to luck of the enemy.

awesome video thx

[@Atacas]

XPanamaX thank you!

Hey ! Great video, I learned a few things even tho I have played since Vanilla myself. As I have forgotten how to do it I'm curious for the moonwalk tip. How do you manage to run backwards in a straight line without right-clicking while strafing? Please please, big help if you can tell me

For alliance def go Deadmines. The legs from the Van Cleef quest and the Axe from the goblin shredder or Smites hammer is worth it.

[@bb8328]

Thanks for the guide : ) Can I ask why no staff of westfall?

[@goscniedzielnypiatek3555]

Why i cant use two hand weapon sword?in lvl 9?

[@BreakfastAtNoon]

I've been watching more classic content than I have played most games.. I miss my vanilla I need that shit in my fucking veins now.

[@MasterNinjaXz]

So, my question is: why skinning over blacksmithing when you can make good auctions AND craft BiS items as well as recipes and more with Blacksmithing. It also saves you the gold later because you want need to buy items like Lionheart Helm. Pls answer, trying to decide professions.

[@gitner421]

You just drop skinning and pick up BS at 60

[@MasterNinjaXz]

@@gitner421 huh won't that be bad cuz you have to max a whole new profession? That's what I thought I would have to do though, it just seems illogical though.

[@gitner421]

Eonhunter you will be able to farm materials easier at higher level for blacksmithing. The time will even out in the long run. Good luck buying your 40 mount if u are wasting gold on leveling professions

[@MasterNinjaXz]

@@gitner421 yo thanks man

The best way to do it your own way have fun

[@livebythews]

Is it possible to level just as quickly as a full prot build if you have ready, premade dungeon groups?

[@josuf_5812]

Thank you for this video

[@megabeefman]

Watching this I thought something was wrong with my PC because the video gets completely bugged out if I move forward or back in it. But other videos in HD work perfectly fine...

[@hellsSG]

Yes same. Only this video

[@dank3032]

@@hellsSG It's gotta be some sort of driver bug or something (happens on my home PC which is 1000x more powerful than my work laptop). Found another video like it last night. But managed to get around the issue by manually setting the Quality to 1080p. So I might suggest adjusting Quality when the issue occurs until it's fixed

[@banishedbr]

warrior 4life, nice vid important points GJ! Still LOVE FURY MORE ; )

[@Atacas]

Banished BR haha to each their own, can’t hate on a fellow warrior!

[@kwonderland89]

What about 5/5 Pary get more Overpower procs and Spirit Gear? No good? I think it has its value too while leveling up.

[@perksplace9087]

Is hamstring kiting still worth it with leeway? i didnt know about the pulling method though going to save quite a few deaths cheers

[@Atacas]

Perks Place unfortunately its not worth at all with the way leeway works /:

[@Atacas]

Nathaniel Apgar damn right!
