So i have been leveling a warrior in SoD i was arms up till 37 i switched to fury after getting the SM and RFD quest swords and i have to say the entire journey to 46 now feels like playing on hard mode, my damage feels subpar compared to other classes and misses hurt a buch more than they do for my balance druid not to mention the lack of any real sustain.
I logged onto my ele shaman (who was enhance in p2 and had almost no ele gear) and im smashing through quests and incursions and doing great dps even though half my gear is still enhance.
What am i doing wrong with war? Why does it feel so bad?
Nothing. The Struggle of leveling a Warrior in Classic is standard.

Sorry bro. Warriors feel bad without a healer and victory rush
Warriors just feel bad in general at least before p3 90% of our runes didn’t get nerfed to the ground. There’s no point in trying to lvl a warrior in p4 just go rogue hunter sham pally or priest. No ones gonna want warrior in raids at end game either.
Warriors are decent in the following situations:
Raid with full raid buffs and debuffs
Full wbuffs and consumes
Short, single target fights
Fully geared
Little to no movement mechanics
If you’re outside of those parameters (So 90% of the game) you will be terrible
Forgot about getting lucky sudden death procs.
Oh true that and slam procs
Them slam and raging blows hitting for 200 dmg feel good. Not even worth the gcd lol.
and dont forget adding in stance dancing every 10 secs once you get tier
Don’t hate myself enough to bother getting teir lol.
Fury is trash for leveling. Get a two-hand weapon, go back to Arms.
Alternatively, in SoD: you can go Protection around your level as long as you pick up a few runes (Shield Mastery, Sword & Board, Gladiator Stance). I wouldn’t do this without all of those runes, though.
Warriors consistently do 2-3x less dps than other classes while leveling, getting geared at each level cap was a huge advantage for warriors.
I pity anyone leveling a warrior raw 1-60 in SoD.
