Leveling spec?Follow

Just hit 60 on my warrior, with a RAF account, and now that Ill be leveling solo was wondering which spec is best to level. I was thinking furry titans grip at first but realizing that it will decrease my hit that much doesn't seem like a very good leveling spec when your not gemming and enchanting for hit. SO would just like to know, if arms, furry with TG, or without TG will be most useful.

Thanks

I guess my question is more, is it worth it to take TG at 60 and duel wield two, 2handers or go furry duel wield and then at 80 switch to TG

thinking of levelling my warrior again. I'll definately have to try both. I was disappointed how slow my fury warrior level 52 was killing things. So I may try arms. But soon I will get titans grip, so...

My question is titan's grip all that? Does it miss more? I'm tired of duel weilding missing so much. And then the reduced damage. hmm.

thx for the info. sometimes I wonder if I'm playing wrong though. It sometimes takes me 10 or 12 seconds to kill a mob compared to my ret pally who could do it in 8 (by the time the next judgement c/d came up). I'm not timing them real accurate, just going by my bloodthirst c/d's. Mind you this is for solo levelling and solo killing primarily- occasionally I'll get adds and use ww and cleave. Though they don't seem that great.

At first I was staying in zerker and keeping my rage (not using execute). But I wasn't happy with that. So now I charge in battle/change to zerker (unfortunately lose all my rage but 10- but till better than 0 right?). Wait till 30 then bloodthirst. I usually have to wait the 5 secs for another b/t. I usually have 30 more rage by this time, so I hit that. Usually in a couple more seconds the mob will be ready for an execute. This seems to go faster, though I'm not sure. I'd say 10 to 12 secons, sometimes longer if I get excessive misses. I find I don't have much extra rage for anything besides bloodthirst and execute. If I do find myself with excess rage I heroic strike after the second b/t to get the mob into excecute range faster. But I feel I'm missing something. Should I be using Death's wish? I think I should, just haven't tried it yet.

I find that I am never in any other stance then beserker (Other when tank dies and I have to quickly pick up the threat). My rotation atm is: WW, BT, HS/Cleave (depends on if it's a single mob or multi-mob fight) and repeat. Use slam evertime the instant cast proc is up. I tend to use intercept to get to the next mob when it's off of CD, otherwise I would just run towards the mob and hit it with a range ability/weapon so that the run is half as long.

I only use Recklessness, Death Wish and Trinkets on boss (simple stand and hit) fights just to really maximize my DPS andDmg. My average kill time of a lvl 80 non-elite is about 5-10 secs (Sometimes longer depending on how often I hit the mob).

I always have HS/Cleave active as a rage dump inbetween BT and WW CD's. Execute is also only used as a rage dump when either a boss is nearly dead or you rage regen is just crazy and you just can't seem to use it all.

With soloing, Fury warriors (lvl 75+) don't have much downtime since we get a healing ability, and we are able to down mobs quick enough to not take alot of dmg. Allowing us to be at full, if not close to full HP at the end of the 3mins.

All in all, once you hit lvl 80, get in some quest, instance and crafting rares/epics you should be able to get into the top 2 spots on the DPS meters.

I agree with you their thrashering. Once you hit outland all your vanilla WoW becomes outdated, from the word go. While I was leveling back in Vanilla, I was constantly buying upgrades on the AH just to be able to keep killing mobs.

I just started a new war (34 Prot) and I can see how much easier it is to level now then what it was back in 1.6 or something like that.

Nowadays prot works pretty well while leveling, believe it or not. You do decent damage, rarely ever die, can solo some group quests, silence casters and don't have to stop and eat as often. Starting out at lvl 60 this build can work for you, prio on getting shockwave and a mix of talents for increased dps, mitigation and stuns/interrupts:

I started out in Wotlk with gear from Zul Aman, Kara and full badge gear, leveled as fury at first but switched to arms to avoid being ganked :D
A friend of mine leveled as prot thou, with BT/Sunwell gear and he gained xp pretty much at the same rate as his guildies.

That said, I'm a sucker for being able to CC the mobs and actually survive for more than a few seconds, if I leveled a warrior again I'd do it as prot. Eating = Fail :P
