Thinking..about leveling my warrior.

[Madmanward]

My old main was a warrior, went prot at 70 and got geared....then wrath came out so first thought...level my warrior! So going to northrend as prot...figured out lvling as prot sucked! and i never built a dps set.
so my warrior got stuck at 75...long enough for me to level my rogue from 32-72 and my paladin from 1-80 :P.

My question is i am wondering how much dps does a warrior pull in like full 232 icc 5 man gear? Thats no raids or any other gear, only reason i wanna level it is to make it easier to farm because its my farming toon.

i'm mostly in full 232 gear, and I did about 7k dps on Toravon 25 (not rage starved). usual dps is about 5k-5.5k on bosses in 10 man raids, about 6k in 25s, depends on boss fight though.

questing / farming, I usually 2 shot mobs (charge, MS crit 6-7k, victory rush (crit 5-7k)+ melee hit (crit 4-6k). I have roughly 35% crit unbuffed. add in that pyrorockets and heroic throw. even elites (65k+ hp) die in about 15 seconds. with me losing about 30% hp, then just pop enraged regen after.

alternatively just group up like 20 mobs, pop retalliation and bladestorm, and kill them all in about 5 seconds. not best for farming due to cooldowns, but not bad either.

Depending on spec and proficiency of rotation you can expect somewhere between 4-7k dps in full 232 gear. As the previous post said though, for stuff like daily quest mobs you'll be killing most of them in a couple seconds. Warriors are especially nice for it though because you'll almost never not have a charge/intercept up, especially if you choose to go fury and pick up Heroic Fury.
