Building Towards 80 — A Fast Leveling Protection Warrior Spec

This is the last post in a series that explores the best talents to choose for leveling your Protection Warrior fast.

Today I’m going to finish up the series by examining the remaining talents on the Protection tree, as well as looking at your options from the Fury and Arms trees.

A good selection here can really help your leveling speed, or if you like to dabble in PvP, give you some options that will make you all the more competitive when you want to take a break from the grind.

The most important thing to remember as we proceed is that this spec is not for raiding warriors! (more…)

The Mid Range of Protection Leveling For Warriors (30-50)

My last post on protection leveling for low level warriors brought us up to level 30.

Today I’m going to talk about the next 20 levels – specifically:

  • what talents should we be taking?
  • some “old talents” I passed over in the early build
  • explanations on some of the most important talents and why we need them

In case you missed my rant in the first post – if you’re under any illusion that protection warriors can’t be leveled fast, wake up!

That used to be the case, years ago, but today protection warriors can level with the best of them.

If you’re a pure meta-gaming, stat-hounding power gamer, I recommend you level with a Fury leveling build. You might save an hour or two…!

Ok so less ranting, more level building:

How To Spec a Protection Warrior For Fast Leveling (1-30)

Conventional wisdom surrounding prot warriors is that they simply can’t be used for leveling fast.

“Go fury or arms until level 70 then spec protection,” they’ll say.

You’ll hear this constantly from players that have never played a warrior, or that played a warrior years ago and haven’t touched them since.

This is 2009, and these days in post 3.1 WoW, the warrior class can be leveled fast regardless of the talent build.

The important thing to me is that you’re playing a build you like the theme of, that you enjoy playing, or that is effective for you.

The protection warrior can be all of those things!
