lower level PvP bracketsFollow

I just went into the lvl 10-19 PvP bracket when I hit lvl 18 (as I figured I had all the trainable skills that I would need till 20). WOW, it sucked.

Are warriors not good at that level, unless twinked? I noticed that I had around 688 health and I was beating on rogues with 1500 health (ZOMG!). I had just aquired the nice 2 handed hammer from DM (Smite's Hammer) and regularly hit for 170ish and can crit for 230+. (I though I was doing good because I was destroying the humanoids around Westfall). Went into a BG and got completely schooled/pwned/bbqed/dry-roasted.

Also, I found that it was a whole lot of running 'round in circles and through targets trying to hit the (very chaotic compared to my mage in PvP). Is it always like this in PvP? Does the twinking come less in the 20's bracket, 30's? I'm wondering when I can go in and PvP and kill anything except the odd non-twinked mage or priest (the only 3 HKs I got in there, with my 18 deaths).

ANY help at all is appreciated.

Yeah, twinks ruined that and the 29 bracket for me. I tried going in as a 19 warrior ("...of the bear" up the wazooo). I went toe to toe with a rogue wearing engineer goggles, two glowing weapons... got freaking owned. I rez'd. Ran to the middle of the field, looked around 5/10 were Gnome Rogues with glowing weapons and God knows what else.

In my opinion, Blizzard should not let enchants into BGs. That would help stop the twinks. Yes there's still plenty of blues a twink can get, but at least they'd still be killable, unlike now.

I don't even want to talk about my Mage entering the 19 BGs... 2 shotted by a Rogue I seen, I even AoE unstealthed him. I was wearing every item +stam too.

19, 29 brackets are just crazy. I don't even know about the rest...I gave up a long time ago.

First thing ktangent, DM is a level 55+ instance. Deadmines is actually abbreviated VC for VanCleef - the final boss (or dm, lower case). DM is Dire Maul, which is where some of the dungeon set 1 gear drops (i.e. Tier 0).

Second, warriors are very gear dependant. Meaning if you dont go into a BG with uber enchants and gear at that level, you are going to have a lot more problems than say a mage would at that level. Even though mages get 2-shotted as well. Get semi-twinked at the 39 BG (read some 30+ blues and some 37+ greens, with maybe some mediocre enchants on them) and you'll have a blast.

There's my armory, so you can see I'm not in the BEST gear for my level (well, that axe is fricken crazy, but I need a better enchant on it) but I'm in pretty good gear. I usually am the top 3 (top 1 50% of the time) in the KBs for my team.

That being said, to all you knocking twinks - if you cant beat em, join em! I would make one but low-level PvP doesn't really suit me (even my warrior it's could be more fun at times...but I'm just there to get some nice plate gear). The way I'm going I'll need a second account to twink someone on a server where I can fund em, though. Anyway...

Overall just want to say to try PvP later, and you'll be fine.

Here is my build:

Now, I have never done a battleground before. I noticed you had a pretty sweet ring that was a PvP reward. Is that from the honor points earned only?

Ummm, if your not a twink in the 10-19 bracket its going to suck no matter what class you have. I suggest moving to the 20-29 bracket. There are a lot less twinks and much fun.

Non-twinked in the 19 bracket as a warrior you will not survive. Twinked is a totally different sotory, i have no problem killing all the classes as an 18 (not done with one of my questlines) twinked warrior with of the bear and searign blade w/ fiery, even my weps w/o glows are still great. Soi to answer your question, lower lvled PvP brackets for non-twinked warriors = no go.

Twink : A term often used in homosexual circles to describe a man with a smooth, youthful, only slightly-muscular, physique.
