Anyone been on Nostalrius recently? I never played vanilla and I've discovered that leveling Warriors there is absolute hell.Maybe I just need to get gud.
I like the atmosphere there, though.
Yeah it can be rough levelling a warrior, it starts off really hard but the cards turn in your favour once you get higher levels. When you get whirlwind axe, it's usually much easier from there. There's no point in speccing as tank until much higher levels, and best levelling spec is arms

>best levelling spec is arms
Crap, I probably shouldn't have invested 5 points in Fury then.
At least I'm slowly building up First Aid and Cooking to make up for lack of self-heals...
>>330821758
What points did you put those 5 into? Might be ok still
Yea first aid helps a lot as well, I never bothered with cooking or fishing though
>>330821869
I put the 5 points on increased critical hit percentage.
>>330821948
You're fine then, those are good points to put into
Leveling a warrior in vanilla is hell.

Yeah, warriors are arguably the worst levelling class (something like a paladin is a tad slower, but they're safe and not prone to being killed like warriors are). To make it less bad, there's two alternatives: arms and fury with a two-handed weapon. Arms is a bit more resilient to being fucked over (Imp. Overpower makes dodged attacks not quite that awful, Sweeping Strikes allows you to dispatch multi-mob pulls that would otherwise force you to just run away and reset), 2h fury is a bit faster.
Dualwielding only makes the miss miss miss problem more pronounced and requires you to have two good weapons which is more difficult than (particularly considering there's a number of accessible 2-handers, such as Whirlwind Axe) so I wouldn't recommend DW fury for levelling (while protection is just garbage: ultimately you'll spend much more time killing the mobs so in actuality you'll take more damage during the course of the fight).

That's good news, thanks anon.
>>330822072
Mobs in vanilla are my fucking kryptonite.
>>330822225
Thanks for the advice anon, I think I'll choose 2h arms for levelling.
yo OP, levelling is hell but it gets much better
The worst part is 1-20
once you get the 2H hammer from deadmines, you're good to go

I wish people would ask for paladin or druid tanks since that's obviously what they want

That means I don't have far to go, that's good.Also, I can't wait until I don't have to mine for copper anymore, the veins are pretty hard to find.
>>330823065
I went herb/alchemy and I think it really helps with levelling. very nice money making too, as you can sell your arcanite cooldown for 5-7g every 48hours, and some stacks of herb sell for 7g
problem with mining is all the fucking chinese farmers (which can be somewhat be applied to herbalism, but it's not as bad)
>>330823348
I should probably just make an alt for making money.
A stack of copper bars costs around 60-80 silver in the auction house last time I checked and I really don't want to have to sell what I have.
>>330823348
Also, do you mean the farmers that literally farm for real life money?
