Arms, Fury or Prot?

[xshadowdragon]

I'm leveling a Priest and a Warrior and I need to know if, for leveling, Should I make my warrior, prot, fury or arms specced?

EDIT- And should I level my priest as Disc or Holy?

[Tdog]

I have always leveled my warriors 2h fury till outlands then DW fury. But that was pre 3.0. I haven't leveled a warrior since 3.0 but damn is prot sweet now! Lots of damage and Tons of surviabililty.

haven't tried prot on my warrior yet so I'd suggest fury (dual-weild 2h at 60) and priest as disc since that spec is aimed more towards attack spells (besides shadow).

I'd have to say level the warrior prot and your priest as shadow. because the a shadow priest can destroy things REALLY fast. The best levelling class besides a hunter. A prot warrior with mitigation the shadow priest makes up for the lack of dps. They will have great synergy, if you want you can change the warrior to fury (2hander) so you Whtie damage and Slam right after but with changes you wanan bloodthirst and if it crits instant slam. and have your priest go holy. its up to you have a heal bot or a tank both work effective. Shadow priest dps better higher burst.

My main's an arms warrior, the imp rend/bleed/overpower version of the spec, and the damage is insane. Much higher than fury, and you don't have to sit in berserker stance meaning your taking less damage (mix in a thunderclap and demo shout and it's even lower).

I'd recommend going arms with a 2h axe. It's all down to personal preference though.

Arms or fury on a pve server - you will get ganked badly on a pvp server as you are quite squishy and terrible 1v1

Prot on a pvp server. You level slightly slower solo, but you can kill pretty much anyone 1v1 if you play it right and you can tank instances (if thats what you like to do)

Arm's aint squishy on a PvP server. Bladestorm+sweeping strikes rips through people.

I didn't say it doesn't dish out the dps. Fact is that while you are BS'ing away any smart person can get out of the way and once that is over, you will die. Until level 75 warriors will be like glass cannons.

All these things are fantastic, but look at what level you get them - very high up the tree. How about a little better ideas for LEVELING the warrior. Once you reach high 50's-60's there isn't much 'leveling' left. (yes, I know there are still 15-25 levels, but honestly, they don't matter as the gear is so much better it can make up for the differences in one spec or another.

what matters is pre 60, before you really get the 'good' talent points.

When I was leveling my warrior, I did 10-30 as Arms, but I was also duo'ing with a feral druid.

i would say arms until you get duelweild, than fury. fury is good until the low to mid 50 than arms starts to be attractive again. but most ppl do a hybrid arms/fury since most of the BC tier talents sucked. in outland you should go prot.,

the priest should be adjusted to keep the warrior alive, either more damage or more healing.

this was the combo i did to level my warrior. a friend had a priest. (not multiboxing) this would be good if your ultimate goal is to do instances, since you control the two hardest classes to get for an instance run. but leveling is slower than other 2 class combo's. the warrior can't handle more than 2 mobs at a time before your priest is full time healing and than OoM. so you have to wait for the priest to drink and eat all the time. plus you lack good CC. so if you get a runner and he brings some adds, your group can quickly get in over it's head.

this group is the definition of grinding.
