Experience changes that affect this route

The beta changed the leveling maths twice in October, so advice written in September no longer holds. Each entry is what Blizzard wrote, with our reading of it marked separately. Last change .

  1. The target is parity with questing, not Classic Era dungeon speedAnnounced, not in a build yet

    Blizzard's stated aim: after these changes, perfect experience-per-hour dungeon play should land very close to, if not equal to, optimal questing. It also said dungeon experience will not return to Classic Era levels, because dungeon spam being the optimal path fails its design pillars.

    What it means for your route: Plan a mixed route. Dungeons are for the levels where an instance sits on your path and the group is close to your level; questing carries the levels in between. A pure dungeon run to 60 is being balanced out of the game on purpose.

Legacy Points while you level

Unconfirmed

Where to spend Warrior Legacy Points for solo questing, in the order the points arrive. A character can spend 16, and an account can earn 65 at launch. Stop wherever your total is — the list is cumulative. Effects are quoted from the Live client 1.60.1.70707 data.

  1. 1.

    Well Restedrank 1 · Adventure

    Your rested experience accumulates 4% faster and your rested experience cap is increased by 4%.

    Only one point here for now — it is the prerequisite for Talented, and rested experience is worth having while you are at it.

    1 point · 1/16
  2. 2.

    Talentedrank 5 · Adventure

    You gain talent points every level starting at level 5 instead of starting at level 10, but you still may not have more than 51 total talent points.

    The strongest leveling node in the tree: talent points from level 5 instead of 10, so you reach your first real build five levels sooner.

    5 points · 6/16
  3. 3.

    Thrill of Adventurerank 5 · Adventure

    You gain 5% of your maximum Health and Mana over 10 sec each time you deliver the killing blow to a non-trivial enemy. Ineffective in dungeons, raids, and battlegrounds.

    5% of your health and mana back on every killing blow. Solo questing is mostly downtime between fights, and this is the node that removes it. It does nothing in dungeons, raids or battlegrounds.

    5 points · 11/16
  4. 4.

    Field Guiderank 1 · Adventure

    Reduces your cooldown on adding Camp features by 8%

    Prerequisite for Frequent Flier, and shortens the wait between camp features.

    1 point · 12/16
  5. 5.

    Frequent Flierrank 1 · Adventure

    You receive a 50% discount on all flight paths, and your flight path mount flies 20% faster.

    Half-price flight paths and 20% faster flights. You will fly hundreds of times before 60.

    1 point · 13/16
  6. 6.

    Gourmandrank 1 · Resourcefulness

    Increases the duration of beneficial effects from eating food by 33%.

    Food buffs last a third longer, so you eat less often between pulls.

    1 point · 14/16
  7. 7.

    Well Restedrank 3 · Adventure

    Your rested experience accumulates 12% faster and your rested experience cap is increased by 12%.

    No vendor reagents to save on, so the last two points go into rested experience.

    2 points · 16/16

What to skip, and why

  • Permanence: Its party-buff half does nothing alone; the camp rest half is not worth three points while you are questing.
  • For Great Honor: Honor only, so it waits until you start battlegrounds.
  • Diplomat: Reputation matters at 60, not on the way there.
  • High Alert, Field Medicine: Stealth detection and bandage timers are situational; neither changes how fast you level.

Variants

  • If you gather while you level, one or two points in Bountiful Harvest (20% more scarce materials per rank, Mining, Herbalism and Skinning) pay for your mounts; take them out of the last picks on this list.
  • Levelling in dungeons instead? Thrill of Adventure is dead weight there — the dungeon plan on any dungeon leveling guide spends those five points on Permanence, Reinforce and faster corpse runs.
  • Your class buys no reagents, and Reagent Economy no longer makes camp features free, so it is left out of this plan.

Legacy values are datamined from the game client and can change. Plan your own spread in the Legacy planner, see where points come from inLegacy Points, or read the Legacy system guide. The order above is our recommendation; the effects are game data.

Overview

Levels 10–60 · Fury Warrior, solo questing and grinding. Levels 10–30 were played in the beta; levels 31–60 are projected.

Levels 31–60: projected, not played yet. The beta stopped at level 30. Everything past level 30 follows the talent trees of the live client (build 1.60.1.70755) and has not been played in this order yet.

Warrior had the roughest start of any class in the beta. The biggest forum thread called it “in a really bad state”, and a second one found the cause: Rage is now normalised to weapon speed, and critical hits give no extra Rage. Players say Blizzard has called both intended, so build around it and make every swing count. Unbridled Wrath gives every weapon hit a 60% chance for an extra point of Rage, which matters more now than it ever did in Classic. Cruelty comes first for crit, and 10 points in Fury unlock Piercing Howl at 20. From 31 the build runs down the rest of the Fury tree to Bloodthirst at 40. Levels 10–30 come from the level 30 beta phase (October 1–23) and were rechecked against the final beta client, build 1.60.1.70532; every talent order was then re-validated against the live client 1.60.1.70707 with its server hotfixes on November 1 and against the launch client 1.60.1.70755 with its launch hotfixes on November 4. The rest of the climb is marked as projected below. Talents and tuning can still be hotfixed after launch.

Why this build

  • Unbridled Wrath is the best fix for Forever Rage. It pays Rage on every hit instead of on crits, and crits currently pay nothing extra.
  • Cruelty from level 10. +5% crit is still the biggest damage talent in reach for a low-level Warrior.
  • Piercing Howl at 20 slows everything nearby, so adds and runners stop being a problem.
  • Bloodthirst at 40, in the projected half, gives Fury its first strong button and 10% movement speed with every press.

Weak spots

  • The slowest class to level in the beta, according to players and every editorial tier list we found. Eat between pulls and do not chain pull at half health.
  • No self-healing until Victory Rush at 20, and it heals about 10% of your health. Before that, First Aid is your healing.
  • Low-level Rage is a slow drip. One-handers swing about every 2–3 sec for 7–9 Rage, two-handers every 3–4 sec for 14–17, and most attacks cost 15–30.

Talent order by level

One point per level from level 10 to 60. The talent tree above shows the finished level 60 build; use the level slider to see it at any level.

Levels 10–30: played in the beta

  • Levels 10–14 · Cruelty 5/5 — +5% melee crit at 5 points: the biggest early damage talent.
  • Levels 15–19 · Unbridled Wrath 5/5 — A 12% chance per rank (60% at five) for 1 extra Rage on every weapon hit. Crits give no extra Rage in Forever, so this is how you keep the bar full.
  • Level 20 · Piercing Howl 1/1 — Dazes all nearby enemies for 6 sec. Needs 10 points in Fury, which is exactly what you have at 20.
  • Levels 21–23 · Blood Craze 3/3 — Regenerates 3% of your health over 6 sec after you are crit or lose more than 20% of your health to one hit. Small, but free.
  • Levels 24–26 · Furious Precision 3/3 — Up to 10% more hit chance with off-hand attacks, so fewer off-hand swings miss.
  • Levels 27–30 · Enrage 4/5 — A 30% chance for +2% physical damage per rank for 12 sec after you are hit. You are always being hit while leveling, so it is close to permanent.

Levels 31–60: projected, not played yet

From 31 the build finishes the Fury tree on the November 3 rework: Death Wish at 32, Reckless Swings at 33, Flurry by 38 and Bloodthirst at 40, then Dual Wield Specialization for off-hand damage and Rage, Improved Whirlwind, and Gore Drinker for healing on the move. The last ten points open Arms for a cheaper Heroic Strike, more Rage from Charge and Improved Tactical Mastery. Warrior Rage was the most argued-about system of the beta, so read the launch patch notes before following the Rage talents point for point.

  • Level 31 · Enrage 5/5 — finish the talent.
  • Level 32 · Death Wish 1/1 — +20% physical damage and Fear immunity for 30 sec, at the price of taking 5% more damage. Save it for elites and double pulls.
  • Level 33 · Reckless Swings 1/1 — Your next 4 melee attacks generate 5 extra Rage, on a 15 sec cooldown. Press it as you Charge, when the bar is emptiest.
  • Levels 34–35 · Dual Wield Specialization 2/5 — At five ranks, +25% off-hand damage and 50% more Rage from off-hand hits. With Rage this scarce, the second half matters as much as the first.
  • Levels 36–38 · Flurry 3/3 — Up to 30% faster swings for three attacks after a melee crit, in three ranks now. With Cruelty in, it is running for a large share of every fight.
  • Level 39 · Dual Wield Specialization 3/5 — finish the talent.
  • Level 40 · Bloodthirst 1/1 — The Fury capstone: an instant hit for 45% of your Attack Power plus 30, with 10% movement speed for 10 sec. Press it on cooldown.
  • Levels 41–42 · Dual Wield Specialization 5/5 — finish the talent.
  • Levels 43–44 · Improved Whirlwind 2/2 — 2 sec off Whirlwind’s cooldown and 30% more damage to the closest enemy at two ranks: more two-mob pulls end on one Whirlwind.
  • Levels 45–46 · Gore Drinker 2/2 — Enrage, Berserker Rage, Bloodrage, Death Wish and Bloodthirst make your next three swings heal 1% of your health each at two ranks.
  • Levels 47–48 · Improved Execute 2/2 — Execute costs 5 less Rage at two ranks. Finishing low mobs is a large share of every leveling fight.
  • Levels 49–50 · Improved Berserker Rage 2/2 — Berserker Rage gives 10 Rage on the spot and always breaks movement-impairing effects at two ranks.
  • Levels 51–53 · Improved Heroic Strike (Arms) 3/3 — Heroic Strike costs 3 less Rage at three ranks, now that you finally have Rage to dump.
  • Levels 54–55 · Deflection (Arms) 2/5 — +1% parry per rank. Two points, mainly to open the second row of Arms.
  • Levels 56–57 · Improved Charge (Arms) 2/2 — Charge generates 6 more Rage at two ranks, so every pull starts with Rage for Rend or Reckless Swings’ first swing.
  • Levels 58–60 · Improved Tactical Mastery (Arms) 3/3 — Keep up to 15 more Rage when you change stance, at three ranks now: swap to Battle Stance for Overpower without emptying the bar. The last points of the build.

Key levels

  • Level 10 · First talent point into Cruelty.
  • Level 15 · Cruelty is maxed, so start Unbridled Wrath. From here, Rage stops running dry mid-fight.
  • Level 20 · Piercing Howl: ten Fury points are in.
  • Level 24 · Blood Craze and the first Furious Precision points for off-hand hit.
  • Level 30 · Enrage at four ranks: 21 points, all in Fury, where the beta stopped.
  • Level 32 (projected) · Death Wish, your first damage cooldown, and the talent Bloodthirst now requires. Reckless Swings follows at 33.
  • Level 40 (projected) · Bloodthirst, and riding training: the two biggest upgrades of the climb arrive together.
  • Level 45 (projected) · Gore Drinker: your cooldowns now heal you as you swing.
  • Level 60 (projected) · Improved Tactical Mastery closes the build at 41 Fury and 10 Arms points.

How to pull and kill

  1. Open with Charge and Rend anything that will live longer than 10 sec.
  2. Spend Rage as it comes: Overpower after a dodge, Heroic Strike only when you have more Rage than you need.
  3. Two mobs: Demoralizing Shout first, then Piercing Howl at 20 to slow both and focus one.
  4. From 40, Bloodthirst on cooldown, Death Wish on elites, and Execute when the target drops low.
  5. Rest instead of risking it. A death costs more time than a short break to eat.

Leveling tips

  • Heroic Strike is a Rage dump, not a rotation button. It replaces your next swing, and queueing it also switches off your spell queue window (a known bug).
  • Prot’s block talents are an option. One tester found sword and board more comfortable, thanks to the extra Rage from blocks.
  • First Aid is essential. Bandages are your only healing between pulls.
  • Priest shields feed you Rage. Players report damage absorbed by Power Word: Shield still generates Rage, so a Priest friend makes dungeons much smoother. You also cannot Charge once in combat.

After level 60

At 60, the Warrior endgame guides take over. If two-handers suit you better, the Arms Warrior leveling guide is the alternative 10–60 path with Sweeping Strikes and Mortal Strike. Dungeon quests give 50% less bonus experience since October 1, and the October 8 build stopped dungeon kill experience from being paid at the group’s highest level while raising base kill experience in dungeons by about 20%. Blizzard’s stated goal is dungeons roughly level with questing, so the fastest route to 60 mixes both; dungeons or questing has the details.
