Don't roll a Warrior...

Recommended Posts

I first rolled a warrior when TBC hit so I don't have a proper appreciation for the 1-60 grind. I also had guildies and cash from my mains to ease the pain. 

 

But this article hasn't put me off. 

 

On professions I was going BS/Miner - but mainly so I can mine for my planned Eng 29 twink Mage. But I'm rethinking that. BS I assume will slow as hell to level on the fresh server. 

Even without external money, warrior isn't TOO hard to level, just slower.

 

I tried it out on Kronos, and found that with Herb/Alch, I could make plenty of potions for myself, as well as scrap together some nice cash by selling Swiftthistle.

Yeah I'm trying it out on Kronos without using the AH - I figure the economy in the fresh start server is going to be so whacky for the opening couple of months that it can't be relied on. 

 

I did have a top ranked herb/alch at 60 on a rogue, but was never that inspired by it. BS seemed more important. 

 

I was thinking Tauren (I like the look in their beefy armour - my 80 warrior was Undead and always seemed a little puny, plus the interrupt and stam boost are nice bonuses) but now I'm looking at cannibalise quite fondly...

Cannibalize is not really that useful, seeing as it's got a 2 minute CD and only restores about as much health as a bandage. And only works on humanoids. People mainly roll UD for WOTF.

 

Tauren is nice for tanking, with the extra health bonus, but that's about it.

 

Orc's +25% stun resist is also horrendously OP in PvP. Makes it much harder for Rogues to gank you because often times their Cheap Shot / Kidney Shot will get resisted. Same with Hammer of Justice, Blackout, Impact, etc.

Cheers guys! Less interested in PvP with the warrior - plan to get that fix with a 29 twink mage. 

 

Ultimately, due to my shallow nature, it will probably come down to looks...

Its slow as hell (apart from bad gear) cuz of WPvP, and you're free target practice for mages.. if you go solo

 

However:

 

Also, another pro of leveling Warrior, is that tanks are the most sought-after group member for 5mans, so you can get easy groups. Just throw on a 1h+shield, pop into D stance, and you're good to go.

 

Just get some gear from instances (a good 2H) and you're good to go.

They may be a девушка легкого поведения to lvl up, but its worth it in the end

guide for wow lamers:

1)create a warrior aand start leveling it

2)learn MINING+SKINNING and farm some copper light leather in starter areas

3)sell them to have basic income for skills while leveling

4)go like this till about level 40 while running occasional dungeons as tank for better gear

5)stop at 40 and create a mage alt/warlock alt

6)learn herbalism+enchanting

7)while leveling grind herbs and repeat same warrior process

8)occasionally you want run dungeos to get shards: get to level 30 and farm RFC/DM and disenchant all items and sell to ah

9)repea as much as you wish. this method granted my retail warrior 10-20 golds income in week at level 30 mage while leveling him to 60

10-20 gold per week?

 

per...week?

 

You can make 20 gold in like 1 hour by just farming Briarthorn/Bruiseweed/Mageroyal and selling Swiftthistle that you get from them.

well that was level 30 farming 20-30 per week depending if you sell the stuff... considering freshs ervers will not have tons of moneys at begin is a good amount. after that sum up the main char farming of ores and voila first mount arrives easy =)

Why reroll? Just continue leveling the Warrior you'll get much more gold from the new ores/skins than by low level herbs on the Warlock?

 

Plus I'm not a fan of leveling 2/3 chars at the same time, better stick with one first... No reason to have three lvl 30 chars if you dont have a lvl 60 yet.

(apart from having a bank alt, profession alt or simply trying the class imo)

i did not say 3 chars. only one alt that you need as bank/early server farmer.

classes like shamn and druid got forms to sprint up while aladins and warlocks got free mounts but warrior dont. so unless you love to travel whole feralas by foot in a fresh started server where economy still needs to inflate a little an alt char is valuable to give you mount at 40. ofc  my point of view peoples are free to do what they want :)
