A lot of warrior solo levelling is just auto attack + heroic strike from time to time. Especially in the early levels. It gets better, but only a bit. That’s just how things are
you surely looses a lot of time playin like that lol
Not sure what you are talking about. I have a level 27 warrior in Classic and can solo just fine.
Sure, I can’t pull a pack of 3 mobs, but so what? I think people have unrealistic expectations and look to complain at the first sign of a challenge.
Then you’re doing it wrong.
Level up First Aid.
Don’t pull more than one mob at a time.
If you run out of rage and can’t get any rage, just auto attack for a bit to get more rage.
Rage is a commodity in a fight as a Warrior in Classic, just like it was back then.
This ain’t retail where you never run out of any class resource.
On a pvp server you NEED those pots to server any encounters with enemy players, unless they’re 5-10 lvls higher + in which case bite the bullet cause u die no matter what.
All i can say is that it will become better, ALOT better. Warrior isnt an instant gratification class. They are like a good wine, it takes time. But when you get some gear on 60 they are awesome!
A tip would be to spec parry(when you parry you get haste on your next swing) and always fight green mobs unless your in a group/instance.
There are tons of more tips, just do some research.
I just dinged 40 and got Bloodthirst. Now my life has completely different angle…

Just rolled a warrior toon, whish me good luck aha.
There is a serious shortage of tanks on my realm and since I am a filthy casual I guess I can do dungeons more often when tanking right?
actually fightin higher lvl mobs using certain trick/skills can trigger you much easier overpower, with the talent, you can crit as hell at 'em. It very depend on talents mostly.
Warrior is amazing, mage style gamers spam power would absolutely hate his gameplay tho
You can tank without prot specc, in fact other talents give you more rage/threat. Tanking will make your dung experience smooth as hell and easy to find
I guarantee you are playing wrong as i did. Dont use heroic strike. As soon as i stopped doing that my rage meter filled up quite alot. Heroic strike steals rage stops recovering rage, just a bad bad thing to use.

I found heroic strike a good thing when you are good on rage and want a lil extra on your auto dps, but spammin it surely is counterproductive
Butbut… Retaliation has a 30m CD. What if I need it in the next 15 minutes??
I keep saving that for a tough spot, but when said tough spot happens, I forget to use it.
I am hopeless.
Some guy on reddit theorycrafted that it should not be used at all, unless as a pure rage-dump. (link)
I agree with him, but sometimes its usefull for havin a mob less than 20 percent an combo with execute, for example, or with retaliation. it can be useful in some situation, but nonetheless a very “meh” skill, which I see people spammin and Idk why the hell they do that
I use hs pretty much while solo questing/grinding. What else would you use anyway? WW? Cmon, it’s a huge rage waste on a single mob, and with cd next to eternity. I’ll do 2 hs instead.
Its horrible. Played warrior in vanilla bwl, aq40, naxx etc. Loved it. Now i have to take a break at lvl 18. Its horrible.
Even with endless rage you cant do sh*t until 35+
Ehrrrrmmmm… What am i doing wrong i wonder
I’m having a fairly easy time using the following rotation:
Charge>Rend>Demo Shout>Thunder Clap (Bloodrage if needed for Thunder Clap)
Always keep Battle Shout up and use Overpower when up. HS is only used if I have done all of the above and have rage to burn. Below mid 20’s I found 1h/Shield faster than 2h as you take less damage. Main stat is spirit for health regeneration.
Prevent damage before dealing damage and your net result will be a faster/easier levelling experience. Don’t forget Shield Bash either against casters. Make a macro to equip 1h/shield if needed, just to bash them.

Roughly the same only with 2h and with 0 spirit all the time
Perfectly normal as it was back in vanilla.
Oh mate, it’s so simple… Charge, Hamstring, auto attack swing, Run, come back Rend, auto attack swing, Run… Etc you give 2 attacks and receive same, slow weapons give more damage per attack than faster weapons… Go arms tree at least until Impale…
