Discovering your blog and this post is serendipitous. When I rolled a Worgen in Cata I wanted to try something new. Warrior seemed like it would be the most fun for me to rp as a Worgen (well, aside from Rogue, but I already have a human Rogue). Unfortunately, I have no idea what I’m doing! I’ve never leveled a Warrior past 20 and that was back in the days of BC when I was intrigued with the concept of the RiP Fury Warrior. Seeing as how I wasn’t overly fond of Fury then, I knew I’d be doing something different. When I hit lvl10 I chose Protection (my main is a tankadin so I thought, this should be familiar ground, let’s see the difference). lol It only took a couple of PuGs to convince me that I do not want to lvl via LFD. Warrior Prot is ok, very different than the Pally style I’m so used to, and although I like it better than I did Fury, I’m not really enjoying it as much as I’d hoped. One of my guildies said he’s always liked Arms so I set out to find some Arms info and voila! What should I find, but a well-written Arms guide in progress. Destiny has spoken. =) I visited the trainer & respecced. Luckily, at lvl 16 there aren’t too many talents to allocate so hopefully I didn’t do too terribly bad on my own. I’m very much looking forward to some leveling and speccing advice in your next post!

Thossi, it’s flattering that I was an influence on your choice, and I hope that you found many of the guides useful. I’m sorry that I haven’t been keeping things current, but I will be fixing that soon; you can also count on a talent tree review coming up soon as well.

One thing I realize is that I haven’t updated my contact information, so I’ll do that right now. If you ever have any questions or comments, don’t hesitate to email me – if there’s anything I *can* see every day, it’s my email inbox.

Thanks for reading!

Yay! You probably don’t know this, but your original guide was one of the main reason I picked Arms as my tree of choice. Maybe silly to choose a spec based on some online guide (and it wasn’t the sole reason) – but it did influence me. So (although this is kinda late, I can’t remember whether I ever said anything back then or not) – thank you. Thank you very much.

Then came Cata, and me, eager to find some validation for how I chose to allocate my points in the new tree (because I am by no means a pro player, I like to make sure I’ve done things more-or-less right by looking at what others have done), hurried over here … and didn’t find anything. Ah well, I didn’t want to be/seem pushy so I didn’t leave any comment asking for updates – and the way I’ve specced seems to be working fine for me so far.

Still, glad that you’re making a new levelling guide. I still refer other people who want to know how to do things Arms-way to this blog and the old guide, much the same as I refer people who want to tank to Panzercow’s series on how to Prot.
