How creators level a Warrior
The specs and talents beta creators level with, in their own words summed up, each linked to the moment they say it. They're their builds, not ours, at the levels the beta allows; 30 to 60 is still open. Try any of them in the Warrior talent calculator.
Protection
The rage changes mostly help the damage specs, and Protection stays the strongest Warrior spec for leveling and dungeons.
Protectionlevel 19
Built to tank Ruins of Lordaeron at 19, skipping Last Stand.
Fury over Arms
Fury's Dual Wield Specialization, far stronger than in Classic, makes about 70% of a dual-wielder's rage. Arms has no rage talent like it, so a two-handed Arms Warrior is the most starved for rage.
