As a warrior, when you fight an opposing faction's warriors, you nod at them, knowing they were forged by the same iron and fire as you. Stay strong battle brothers.

*looks at video length at **30:36* "yeah, these videos will be shorter than the longer 30-40 minute videos I've made in the past" but seriously, this is hella interesting and I'll definitely DEVOUR this content. All 5 hours of it. Probably several times over.

Great video, but I'd suggest you either prepare a script or cut the "dead places" when talking. You know, to be more youtube-ish and less podcast-ish... But that is just MY opinion tbh : ) Cannot wait for the paladin video, my ex-rank14 that I'll play again.

[@aloreia5015]

Thank you so much for this! I didn't get to play much of warrior in vanilla, just the last few months before BC came. But ever since then I loved the class, still main it in current wow. But this will really help me when classic comes out! I can't wait for the stance dance again, haha.

@kargoz small tip for future videos, if you're going to put the slide up with table of contents of all the different parts don't read through each and everyone of them. you can either just put them up and let the viewer pause and read at their own leisure, or just mention at the start of each video what the video is going to be about without having to go through the entire laundry list

[@Scrumpchwrap]

Kargoz, not sure if you're in contact with esfand, but would be awesome for you to get a paladin panel going like this. Keep up the great content man.

[@TechnoBacon55]

Because Ret sucks so much in Vanilla, Paladin has been theorycrafted to oblivion, making it a perfect candidate for a guide like this. If we actually got one, I'd be so so happy.

[@Scrumpchwrap]

@@TechnoBacon55 I hear you.. I was looking forward to trying reckoning instead of ret from Kargoz pally guide but now I'm hearing the sit macro won't enduce critical strikes anymore.. not even sure if it'll be viable.. I'd love to see more info on the Paladin...

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

@@Scrumpchwrap don't listen to this fool, Paladin class in general is the reason to play WoW. Especially for Vanilla Retribution - a glorious and rewarding challenge of group/guild/raid leadership. Every time I see a geared healer paladin it makes me sad.

[@Scrumpchwrap]

@@Avrelivs_Gold haha... Don't be too sad. When I was forced to heal back then, it became my first love. Can't wait to do it again... Especially pvp. Healing can be a lot of fun when you have good friends

lvled on clasic, full prot war 0-60 . . . . war leveling is hard . . .lving on prot only, is retarded But you will learn sooo much, and your brain changes the way it thinks. I recommend every war player to start a new char and lvl as prot. It changes you and makes you more patient and a better player.

[@tenbutts]

Tonight I got my first 60. It has long been a regret of my life that I failed at WoW at launch with a 20 warrior picking up duel wield and giving up unable to hit anything and never being able to find the fire totem guy on my shaman. This was in no small part to the GMA guys and the info and enthusiasm you provided. Thank you.

Jake Harvey LMFAO

[@t3chn0dr0n3]

Judging by the popularity of warriors on vanilla private servers and the fact that I've played warrior for more than half of my WoW experience, I think I'd rather go mage. Right now I'm levelling a warrior on Northdale, actually, and there is no demand for either Prot or Fury. Instead, healers are on demand. So, first roll: mage - the class that barely has any downsides. Second roll: shaman - the class that is unique in vanilla, and only in vanilla.

[@TechnoBacon55]

I was considering warrior for a while too, though I've always been a Paladin through expansions. Messed around with different classes on private servers, but always went back to my pally. Can't go wrong with a healer.

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

as everyone knows, most of these people never get to 60 a good challenge

[@ecclesiaandune687]

Is the written guide available somewhere? Since this is a little slow

[@therealloose]

The music is very loud! Just saying. Great guide!

[@ByeBaybe]

no.

[@Valkaneer]

Anyone who played all of Vanilla knows DW fury ended up being most the most powerful PvP build by the end of vanilla. DW Death Bringers was super powerful, and a Thunderfury and Nax level 1h was the most powerful pvp setup there was. Even without Thunderfury DW fury and MS were on equal footing by the last patch of classic.

[@scarlatradu]

I leveled a fury warrior in Vanilla up until level 49 when I changed to arms (twinked at 29, 39, 49) and I don't remember hating the leveling or being that much of a bitch. Actually, it was quite engaging. Well, at least compared to my auto-attacking Paladin main...

[@BarrySchanz]

I love the concept. The music is distracting and as this is presented as a class the banter and rambling is adding little value. That is more appropriate for an interview.

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

it's great for this introduction part, made me want to actually try a warrior

Heyllo I got a question for you warriors out there.. early stages of leveling here. I ran across a quest called Serena Bloodfeather.. I slay her bring back the head and I get my choice at 1 of three luscious weapons. Here is my deli-ma I already have the Axe of Org from rfc qc but this new quest has a two hander with these stats ( 32-49 dmg, speed 3.10, doing 13.1 damage per second, and +6 stamina) now the Axe of Org stats ( 31-47 dmg, speed 3.30, 11.8 damage per second, and +3 strength +3 Stamina) my question is does the +3 strength on the axe of org still make it superior to this other axe or is the 32-49 dmg a better increase? any help is much appreciated happy adventures friends!!

the warrior cliff is level 52. Your too high level for the level 40 dungeons, but no one wants to party with you until you hit 58, because you aggro everything in blackrock. at 58, you can squeak by 90% of most mob groups for boss runs, at 57, you have to fight all those mobs and it adds 2hours to the dungeon run. even at 58, no one wants you because you have shit gear.

[@Livingvapour]

Literally says warrior is a hybrid class. man warrior doesn't pay hybrid tax either. much balance many fair.

[@rapamune]

Wow classic isn't about balance, it is about RPG and classes having actually feeling like a class - not a bland homogenous DPS/TANK/HEALER unit

[@Livingvapour]

@@rapamune As someone who played warrior as the main tank from 2004-2014, I would have to say. warriors need to be really toned down in classic. every other hybrid has tax except warrior. Hell even Pure damage classes like hunter have hybrid tax yet no one likes to talk about that. Warrior just just overpowered and everyone knows it. Everyone who missed out on it refuse to have any form of change to it because they plan to play warrior this time around. Its gonna be silly having 30% of the server population being warrior and you still wont be able to find a tank since they will all refuse to tank even though you can tank just fine in full arms or fury spec.

[@disrupt94]

@@Livingvapour don't you think warriors deserve a little something for the UN classified torture that is vanilla warrior leveling? Hunters are amazing at the start, and don't really drop until AQ40. That's them being a top competitive dps for 80% of the game. given my private server experience, even bitchy fury warrs will tank eventually. Why? because fury is gear dependent, so you must run dungeons to get the dps output you crave.

[@Livingvapour]

@@disrupt94 As a warrior main from 2004-2014 I had no issue levelling to 60 as a warrior I honestly find it easier than many classes. But I do main warriors or fighter classes in most RPG's so i'm used to the style and what to expect.

[@disrupt94]

@@Livingvapour it's a gear dependent, plate wearing class that needs to deal damage and get hit to gain acess to abilities. All of these mechanical problems compounds at the start of the game because the gear you have is in general not strong enough to utilize the superb warrior scaling, you don't get the added benefit of plate damage reduction untill later, and combining your slow swing speed with the poor hit chance... Sure, you can get more rage by pulling more enemies but warriors can't handle that because of the gear factor and their poor CC abilities. You can hamstring kite, but any caves are practically a nightmare still The only other class that is comparable is Paladins, but they have a ton of self-healing and sustain, and actually have spells that they can use on demand to finish off enemies rather than waiting for a slow weapon swing.

[@Cr3at1vem1nd]

Lol "most of you wont make it to 60" I've leveld like 5 warriors to 60 vanillamode. Weak as bitches if you ask me if you cant even make it there. Awsome vid guide though.

Unfortunately little to no info of value here. The conversations go astray and Takanashi is quite has an IQ of below 90.

[@Nyarlathotep_Flagg]

I actually never understood what ppl meant. I never considered warriors tough to level. It was more fun than any other class, except hunter - And hunters were just easy mode, with 0 endgame value(the one class that really sucked in vanilla. Didn't really have clear useage in pve, and I'd question their value in pvp aswell). Early levels priest on the other hand... OMFG, most boring shit I've ever tried. You run out of mana *ON EVERY MOB.* Until you get the wand spec, your leveling completely sucks. Until about 14-20 you're gonna hate your priest with a passion, I assure you.

[@hankapaldum6027]

man, are we talking about the same game? warriors aren't tough to level? priest leveling hard and slow? running out of mana after a mob kill? hunters have no clear role and 0 endgame value? what the fuck are you talking about?

[@Widowmakerdamien]

You don't count having the best solo/safe gold farming methods valuable at all? seeing as gold can get you anything you want?

[@kallmannkallmann]

Also Hunter was needed for rage removing.

[@nickmarble7226]

idiot speaking here

[@Nyarlathotep_Flagg]

@@hankapaldum6027 How about this. Try to reach 20 as fast as you can with priest(solo leveling ofc), and whatever other class you want really. See how it goes. After that max out a hunter, and try to find a raid grp on a server where you don't know anybody. Post trying out the priest to 20. Try leveling a warrior. Then think it over, and consider which was truly the more miserable experience. I had 50 characters in vanilla(retail), since I had friends on several servers, that later moved to other servers. Several at around 40 but only a couple at 60. I'd say I am very experienced in leveling various classes in vanilla. Much more so than most. And early priest is unquestionably the most miserable of the lot, even more boring than the paladin that can't really do much for the first 10 levels(at least you can keep on fighting, and don't have to drink after every mob. At least you could survive and outheal damage early. At least you didn't have 50%+ downtime in the early levels). These are the issues: Priest's have very weak damage spells early, priests mana get exhausted almost immediately. Every kill takes twice that of the mage, while forcing you to drink much faster. You have no escape, and your healing barely ever even outstrips the damage(basically not worth it). And naturally, you hit(physically) for more or less nothing.
