Crap levelling experience but at 60 you own but you die in Strat due to healer disconnection

[@ghoraxe9000]

Keep atleast a swiftness potion and a healing potion at all times.. they share a cooldown so it's pretty much fight or flight.. heal up and hold Your ground or get the hell out

[@bonanzabrandon6877]

I have a good amount of experience playing warrior, and it's crazy how fighting a mob even 1 level higher than you is a risky proposition

[@G4BOG4BO]

When your character decides not to connect a single hit on a fight. I can relate.

[@jygb7092]

Use bladestorm or execute

[@6Churches]

I didn't think Heroic Strike was recommended to use as it removes rage generation from the strike that uses it, hence it consumes much more Rage than the tooltip really shows you. It's a stop-from-cappping Rage ability only.

[@TheMackieman123]

I wouldn't completely discount the troll regeneration racial at low level. In the southern barrens you can get a +25 spirit buff for 30 mins with blood shards. As warriors get by far the largest health regeneration from spirit you can get to the point where you are taking almost no damage in single target combat between levels 20 and 30 (sprit gear helps here). Orc and Tauren still better though.

[@denniskassar8086]

Loved the intro 😂 Great to see you making content again!

[@bookofsier5195]

Love the sentence with “a little overconfidence Leads you to die” /sign… died at 3 Warriors (lvl:12/16/47) because of having a little to good time for a few minutes 😂 be afraid all the time and you will hit 60 🎉

[@DiogoSilva-og7tc]

Great video friend, thank you for the information.

[@Belok15]

Thank you for the video!

[@khan8098]

What classic does do a mofo. Glad to see you back dude

[@phasedeux2052]

bruh the dual wield clip, all i saw was parry and miss 🤣

[@BiosparksTV]

You either live by the 2 hander or die by the parry 😂

[@austinkeagy3988]

engineering is so undervalued here

[@haleypenman]

I lost my warrior to a trap today, and then found this video 😂😭

[@johnrandomdouchebag]

good vid, hamstring kiting doesn't always seem to work consistently at least for me. So much leeway making it pointless to move around

[@BiosparksTV]

If you strafe the mobs will hit you with leeway if you are just out of melee range, backpedaling eliminates this.

[@emerelle3535]

Nice video, but of course, Night Elves are always SS-Tier. :D Not sure if I try hardcore. I'll probably die on Teldrassil to the one mob, that killed every Character of mine at least once back in the days: Lord Melenas! x)

[@Niterayde]

Good way to take care of that issue, skip. The . Cave

[@emerelle3535]

But there's a quest to do! :D @@Niterayde

[@Yippaah]

I started a Nelf warrior for nostalgia reasons. I'm now lvl 16 leveling in westfall😋

[@joshuatucker2521]

N Elf is only bis for warrior if you're 12 years old

[@Niterayde]

@@joshuatucker2521 if you need a certain race to succeed at playing war then it’s a “you” issue. Get good

[@andrewvader9077]

Warriors is fun and you need long test of patience. The fun part happened with higher lvls + gear which warriors scaled super well with. Also lvling with trolls blood goes a long way keeping you in combat longer. This helps sustain your rage.

[@viadur1337]

is it working with foreign language ?

[@TrueMakaveli50]

I won’t tolerate this Dwarf slander. Human? HC? I have no words. Gnome is decent but Escape Artist has a cooldown and the mob that put a net on you can easily do it again two seconds later. Stoneform legit will save your life. Escape Artist might, Human sword/mace spec will not. If you’re goal is to parse at end game then sure go human. But if your goal is to simply make it to 60 and do some raiding occasionally, any of the other three Alliance races will get you there easier.

[@Tom_Blue222]

please make a druid guide! :(

[@shirrenthewanderer414]

As much as "being careful" is expected of you in hardcore, and as a defensive minded player myself. Being scared and fearful that you make a mistake is a miserable experience. You should be having fun playing this game, don't worry about "not being cocky", just have a panic button or two in reserve if you need it or better yet just stick to green mobs and quests you can sweep without worrying to much. The more you worry the worse it gets.

[@Niterayde]

Play prot to 60, gives you more lifesaving options.

[@shirrenthewanderer414]

@@NiteraydeActually thats exactly what I'm doing (in spite of myself, I still plan on getting Warrior to 60).

[@d0k0night]

It isn't playing scared, it's playing smart. Take the fights you know you can win, be overprepared and always do the right things, eg. clear your escape route. The true penalty is death and sitting there realizing that it was all preventable.

[@matthuckleberry5238]

Troll is bis for horde and not even close

[@facts9538]

People don't understand the Warrior. They think its all about power and getting the best weapon possible at any given time. This is some what true. But a warroir is meant to debuff every enemy they fight. It's not about overpowering the mob from the start its about out lasting them. This needs to be the order every mob (yellow and above) Charge, DS, Rend, TC, then sunder till 5 sunders. after this HS. If you have good rage another TC and Rend otherwise, Sunder, HS/Execute. Always reapply DS at 1-2s left. TC is not just for multiple mobs. Try use it as much as possible if you are playing Hardcore.

[@Dfnz]

This comment needs to be pinned. I was trying this out as i read this comment. i followed this rotation and i felt such a big difference! Thank you for sharing your knowledge my friend 🙏

[@Local_Laydee]

Haha warriors. I always die the same. Parry, Dodge, parry death.

[@Huhgundai399]

Warriors are only hard up until level 30. From there they tend to actually get overpowered as they level up. Warlocks are actually harder in the long run.

[@Niterayde]

They got the reverse shaman problem

[@joshuatucker2521]

Uhh alchemy #1? No. Engineering always.

[@Idle_Timer]

Dont discount dwarf stoneform too much. That thing has saved me alot in the early levels.
