Leveling as a warrior is really tough in wow classic / vanilla. Check out our warrior guide to help you during this hard time. Best spec, best gear, be the the first warrior to reach lvl 60!
As many of you know, leveling a Warrior in Classic is not easy - it’s almost like playing the game on hard mode. Despite having low mobility, low sustain, and the highest gear dependence in the game, Warriors are by far the most played class in Vanilla. There is a sort of masochistic appeal to leveling the hardest class in the game. To some, this epic challenge provides the purest Vanilla experience, and watching an expert pilot this class with finesse is like watching an artist at work.
This guide will simply be our attempt to put all the pieces together.
Warriors are the quintessential fearless fighters on the battlefield, and their pure martial prowess inspires courage in allies and despair in enemies. Experts in all manner of melee weaponry and possessing incredible physical strength and skill, Warriors are perfectly suited to serve as frontline combatants and battlefield commanders.
First of all, look at this to have an idea of the possibilities.
And here is our selection of the best races for a warrior. (alliance / horde)
Here are some tips to progress quickly during your leveling as a warrior in Classic Wow.
Leveling Speed can be broken down into three pieces: Travel Time, In Combat Time, and Out of Combat Time (Regen). The sum of these three pieces equates to your leveling speed.
Travel Time refers to the time you spend moving from objective to objective out in the open world. In Combat Time is the amount of time you spend fighting. Out of Combat Time refers to the amount of mandatory time you spend recovering eating, drinking, healing, bandaging, etc.
Travel Time is what you will be doing the most of, thus talents or abilities that increase movement speed will likely have the highest impact on leveling speed.The more important concept is this: Shaving off seconds of downtime between pulls is as valuable as shaving off seconds of In Combat Time. When you think about it this way, Damage Mitigation and Regenerative talents / abilities / stats have almost offensive properties and should potentially be valued equally to stats that increase damage.
From level 8 onwards (when you get Hamstring Rank 1) you can start utilizing the Hamstring method to mitigate damage against your enemies.
Mobs out in the open world generally have a higher movement speed and higher attack speed than you. If you were to stand still and trade hits with a mob back and forth you may end up trading 1 of your Auto attacks for 2+ of theirs. If executed properly, The Hamstring Method allows you to trade 1 hit for 1 hit with a target, drastically reducing your damage taken while not reducing your damage at all since you are monitoring your natural auto attacks with the swing timer.
The Hamstring Method step by step breakdown:
Side Strafing through the target is preferable to walking directly through them as exposing your back to an enemy will make you susceptible to getting dazed.
Swing Timer <- Click for Link to Addon
Every melee class should have a timer that tracks both your attacks and your enemies attacks. This is important because you will need to weave both movement and abilities between cooldowns in your autos to prevent clipping into animations and missing damage.
XP / Hr Tracker <- Click for Link to Addon
Track your leveling efficiency with precision. You will have insights such as EPH (XP / Hour), EPM (XP / Minute), and Average XP per kill.
Outfitter <- Click for Link to Addon
Addon allows you to swap gear back and forth easily. This is useful for switching into your Spirit Set between combat to reduce regeneration downtime.

Now, lots of people will tell you to never dual wield while leveling. Why? Because, when you dual wield, your hit chance is greatly reduced, and your offhand only does 50% of its normal damage. Since hit rating gear is practically nonexistent until level 40+, you'll be missing lots of attacks if you dual-wield.
...but, in my experiences, I found dual wielding to be fine, but only if you're Fury. I found that having two weapon swings meant having twice as many chances to crit, which led to lots more Flurry procs. At level 50 with two blue 1h swords, my kill speed was just about the same as when I used an epic 2h axe. And I wasn't even specced into the offhand damage talent. If I got a good string of crits, I could smack mobs down in 15-20 seconds, and easily hit Bloodthirst every time it came off CD.
On the topic of Bloodthirst, dual wielding lets you actually use up all 6 charges of Bloodthirst, leading to a lot of extra healing. I found that when dual wielding, I could kill 2 or 3 extra mobs before having to eat/bandage, compared to using a 2h. The healing from Bloodthirst may not seem like a lot, but it adds up over time.
So, if you happen to have two good 1h weapons, and are Fury specced, don't be afraid to try out dual wielding. Some people swear by it, and I can see why. Getting misses/parries with 2h weapon is cancer, and having two weapon swings for two different chances at crit, can really help smooth out your damage and make it less random. If you're still skeptical, I'd suggest trying it out once you get Thrash Blade, or if you happen to have a Flurry Axe. With really sick 1h weapons, dual-wielding can definitely feel great.
Tips / Tricks about talents:
Here is the cycle of dps to respect for these levels.
As soon as you have Blood Craze at 21 you can start practicing sitting mid combat with a (/sit macro) which will make the mob crit you 100% of the time. This will proc Blood Craze and eventually Enrage at lvl 25.
You need to start integrating your /sit into your Hamstring Method. This is quite APM intensive but 100% worth it. Once you master this technique you will have a 25% Damage Boost with nearly 100% uptime.
At 30 do your Berserker Stance quest and use the Hamstring Method to easily kite around and kill Big Will.
If at 30+ you have a support structure such as a Guild, do your Whirlwind Axe quest ASAP.
Here is the cycle of dps to respect for these levels.
Single Target Rotation - Pool Rage don’t Execute Mob:
Bloodrage + Bandage between pulls to prevent Rage Decay while transitioning to next 2 targets.
Multi-Target Rotation - Execute Mobs:
Stats priority :
Better stats on your Weapon such as DPS, Weapon Speed, or Damage Range will be more impactful than stats like Strength or Agility, however here is the base stat priority:
1 Point of DPS = 7 Strength = 14 Attack Power
Stat priority lvl 1-30 (Sustain Priority)Spirit -> Strength -> Agi -> Stamina -> Intellect
Stat priority lvl 40-59 (Crit is Priority)Agi -> Strength -> Stamina -> Spirit -> Intellect
Strength (often abbreviated STR) has the following effects:
Agility (often abbreviated AGI) has the following effects:
Attack Power :Attack power (AP) increases your base DPS by 1 for every 14 attack power. For example, an AP of 28 will give you 2 DPS.
