Has anyone ever tried this? Is it even slightly viable or absolute shyte for questing / world PVPing?

The reason I'm asking is I've already leveled a warrior as arms/fury (on pr*v server) so I wanted to try something new. I know I can just dungeonspam to 60 but I get bored of that really quickly lul

i tried it at the start of classic. i found fury or arms to be better for tanking. at least until ZF +

plus your killing speed is pretty slow in comparison.
cant wait to hit 55+ so i can dual wield again. it was fun for a bit, but without hit rating you miss way too much sometimes.

Why would you level as prot when you aren’t even supposed to bother tanking as prot

I leveled as prot through vanilla and bc. At 5-10 hours a week doing only dungeons i played from launch and was level 55 the day WotLk dropped.

I can say that if you're only doing dungeons with pugs then it's literally the slowest way to level in classic. But after wotlk it's probably the fastest and safest way to aoe grind.

Halfway through LK I remember getting an achievement for 100 quests completed (that's how few I had done through vanilla and bc). I suppose if you did quests and aoe grind as prot warrior through classic it could be quicker than most classes, but I have no experience with that.

i'm currently leveling a warrior too and looking for some kind of tanky dungeon master that will be doing lots of dungeon spams but can also solo quest time to time. i've only leveled warrior beyond 30 in cata+

i'm getting mixed answers from my guildies who have leveled warriors while doing dungeon grinding. some are saying full arms is fine to 60 or 55ish. others say level arms w/ 15 points in prot, others say 13 arms then go into prot.

i can't imagine full prot is very good. viable, sure, but if you quest it'll likely be too grindy and do no dmg. so waiting for input as well but if you aren't planning on doing very many dungeons, there's absolutely no reason to level as prot unless you're just a masochist
