Classic WoW Struggle

Since we already know the content schedule, battlegrounds won’t be going out until probably Phase 3 and that is one of the main reasons I want to play a Warrior. We won’t have AV for the Ice Barbed Spear. Warriors auto-attack leveling is pretty boring and misses/parries are annoying when you have a really slow 2h. It does get better at 40 with Mortal Strike, but it’s still not as good as most other classes because they are so gear dependent. Level 60 is still gear dependent, and with only MC/Ony available as raids that will be very limiting to gear access and increased damage. BWL and beyond they definitely start getting better items and scaling extremely well. I guess what I’m trying to say is, I will be leveling something else at first, probably a Mage, to be able to farm as much as possible at max level before the zerg catches up. Then once I feel content with the farming and my gear level, I would be able to afford some things for my Warrior to be able to level more comfortably, ideally still within Phase 1. For OP’s case, they should do a Warlock first and then do a Warrior if that’s what they want to do later.
