Leveling in Dragonflight
Welcome to our Warrior leveling guide. Here you will find all you need to know to level up your Warrior efficiently. In addition, you may wish to check out our general Leveling guide, complete with detailed information on XP, mounts, addons, consumables, tips, and more. We encourage to read it to increase your leveling speed even more.
Leveling up as a Warrior is fairly simple and straight forward:
Charge in and hit things, though Warriors also have the benefit of
being able to switch to a Tank specialization in order to join Dungeon groups
much faster. When it comes to actual questing, Warriors have plenty of tools to
keep themselves healthy and deal a lot of damage both in AoE and single-target
situations.
Best Leveling Spec for Warriors in Dragonflight
When choosing which Spec to level as you first have to think if you wish to level as a Tank or as a DPS. All 3 Warrior Specs are capable of fast questing and will not hinder your leveling process. If you decide to level either as Fury or Arms then it is worth keeping in mind that if you are having trouble getting into a Dungeon group as DPS just swap over to Protection and you will most likely find a group faster.
Fury and Arms are both solid in solo content and can deal out a lot of damage with their various abilities.They both also have plenty of sustain to get through their enemies without having to slow down. Choosing which one to level as will come down to which playstyle you enjoy most.Below you can find the guides for both to make your decision easier!
While Protection Warrior does less damage than Fury and Arms they do have their own strengths. One of the best examples is that you can pull a lot of enemies together and still survive thanks to all the various defensive abilities they have. In addition to the survivability we also have plenty of offensive tools to deal with any amount of enemies swiftly making questing a breeze.
