Leveling Talents

Improved Heroic Strike IconImproved Heroic Strike is good for early levels as you have no other abilities. Improved Charge IconImproved Charge is a great leveling talent as it gives you a nice burst of extra Rage at the start of every combat.

Deflection IconDeflection and Improved Thunder Clap IconImproved Thunder Clap are great survivability options and also increase your ability to tank if you want to do dungeons while leveling.

Improved Overpower IconImproved Overpower is a great damage increase as you will have many of your attacks dodged. Anger Management IconAnger Management can help out with a couple extra points of Rage during combat. Deep Wounds IconDeep Wounds and Two-Handed Weapon Specialization IconTwo-Handed Weapon Specialization give you a decent damage increase.

Death Wish IconDeath Wish is a great DPS cooldown and fear-effect immunity. Out of Poleaxe Specialization IconPoleaxe Specialization, Mace Specialization IconMace Specialization, and Sword Specialization IconSword Specialization you should choose whichever weapon you will be using the most. Impale IconImpale is a decent damage increase, and Improved Intercept IconImproved Intercept is a filler point that you can spend wherever you want.

This is where your leveling speed will really start to ramp up. Mortal Strike IconMortal Strike is now your main damaging ability.

Leveling Rotation

  1. Bloodrage IconBloodrage to prevent your Rage from decaying between mobs.
  2. Charge IconCharge your enemy.
  3. Overpower IconOverpower if any of your attacks are dodged.
  4. Victory Rush IconVictory Rush any new enemies after killing previous ones.
  5. Rend IconRend at the start of combat.
  6. Heroic Strike IconHeroic Strike all remaining Rage.
  7. Execute IconExecute any low-health enemies.
  8. Mortal Strike IconMortal Strike whenever you have the Rage to use it.
  9. Heroic Strike IconHeroic Strike only if you have a large surplus of Rage.

Early Warrior levels are very lackluster when it comes to abilities. Make sure you use Charge IconCharge whenever possible to generate extra Rage. Keep Battle Shout IconBattle Shout's buff up to increase your damage, and use Heroic Strike IconHeroic Strike whenever you have the rage for it. Keep Rend IconRend up on enemies for the first few levels since you have no other abilities to use.

Train for Overpower IconOverpower at Level 12. It deals damage to an enemy after one of your attacks is dodged. This attack cannot be dodged or parried, making it a great early-game damaging ability.

Get Execute IconExecute from the trainer at Level 24. When an enemy reaches 20% health, you can use this to deal very high damage to them based on how much Rage you have.

Mortal Strike IconMortal Strike at Level 40 finally gives you a main ability you can use at all times. This will greatly increase your killing speed.

Victory Rush IconVictory Rush is very useful for chain pulling while leveling. It essentially gives you a free attack after you get the killing blow on an enemy.

List of Trainer Skills to Buy

Training spells can be rather expensive, especially if you try to learn every spell available to you. Here we will give you a list of your top-priority spells that you will want to train so you know which ones you can avoid and save some money.

  • Rend IconRend — Do not train this past Rank 2 as the damage falls off greatly the higher you level.
  • Heroic Strike IconHeroic Strike — Do not train this past Rank 5 because you will replace it with other abilities around this time.
  • Charge IconCharge — Each rank up gives more rage than the last, so it is worth getting.
  • Shield Bash IconShield Bash — Do not train this past Rank 1 as you only need this for the interrupt while leveling.
  • Bloodrage IconBloodrage — Great for generating Rage.
  • Battle Shout IconBattle Shout — Each rank gives you more Attack Power, so keep this one ranked up as high as possible.
  • Overpower IconOverpower — Great damage, especially in the early levels.

  • Intimidating Shout IconIntimidating Shout — Useful to escape dangerous situations and PvP.

  • Demoralizing Shout IconDemoralizing Shout — Good for strong enemies or when fighting multiple monsters at a time.
  • Execute IconExecute — Deals great damage to low-health enemies.
  • Berserker Rage IconBerserker Rage — Useful to avoid being feared and increases the amount of Rage you gain from damage taken.

  • Victory Rush IconVictory Rush — There is only one rank of this but make sure to pick it up as it essentially gives you a free attack.
