Furious!
Looking for the perfect warrior leveling build? Look no further!
While you can tweak this build here and there to suit your own personal tastes, I suggest you follow this build if you want to level at an optimum rate.
Firstly, some might tell you there is a choice between fury and arms. I disagree.
Going dual wield with a fury spec is the most efficient way to level as a warrior (with a “but” that I’ll explain). Pumping out the most DPS as possible is key with classes like warriors. Being able to tank means little when you engage solo mobs over and over again.
We’re also going to keep in mind here your warrior needs to fight mobs at or below his level if dual wield is going to work its best.
If you find yourself doing quests and killing mobs at or above your level too often, this build becomes less useful due to missing constantly. So either get some really good to hit gear, or follow this build.
The warrior leveling build:
Level 10 to 20
Max out Cruelty, Unbridled Wrath, and Piercing Howl.
Level 21 to 30
Max out Commanding Presence for the attack power, and go 4/5 Enrage.Deathwish is a given at 20% extra dished out for only 5% extra damage taken.
Level 30 to 40
Get yourself Flurry and Bloodthirst, both are awesome for DPS which is essential for leveling against solos.
Onwards to 80
From here, just ensure you work your points in Fury to ensure you get Dual Weild maxed, Improved Beserker Stance, Rampage, Unending Fury and of course Titan’s grip.
Those are my picks for “must have’s” in the Fury tree, and I consider the rest of your picks optional, as long as they score you the points to get these final talents!
After you’ve maxed out on a good 52 points of Fury, begin putting points into Arms at your leisure.
I’d also tell you that for the optional picks, as always, choose a talent based on DPS over protection when possible.
Its also worth me reiterating the importance of your gear as a Fury warrior (to hit bonuses are best), and the mobs you fight.
My experience has always been that fighting mobs 2 levels below you (and even more) is the fastest way to progress in WoW, but this is especially true here.
It just happens that Fury is greatly benefitted by fighting weaker mobs because you won’t constantly miss your off hand strikes, and that means lots of dead mobs, and a very fast leveling warrior.

You skipped precision, in favour of fighting lower level mobs… and say this will result in faster leveling. That should be rethought.
Maxing out commanding presence is nice, but at the expense of 3% to hit on a dual wield spec? Foolish. Take precision instead, fight mobs at your level, and level much faster.
