Every week, WoW Insider brings you The Care and Feeding of Warriors, the column dedicated to arms, fury and protection warriors. Despite repeated blows to the head from dragons, demons, Old Gods and whatever that thing over there was, Matthew Rossi will be your host.

One of the things I get asked to do is explain not how talents and abilities work, but rather how best to level a warrior. I'm always taken aback by these kinds of questions, because I feel that leveling (whether it be a warrior or another class) in WoW has never been easier than it is in Cataclysm. But, since the question comes up a lot between emails and Twitter, I feel like I should spend some time discussing it. I expect to be doing a lot of discussion of patch 4.2 in the weeks ahead, so now is probably as good timing as it gets to cover the leveling game.

First off, I'm going to point you to some posts I think will be useful for you, the beginning warrior.

• Protection Warrior 101 for Cataclysm
• DPS Warrior 101 for Cataclysm
• Arms, fury and prot talents in Cataclysm

Now that we've given you some reasonably useful overview information, let's discuss leveling. For purposes of the discussion I went and rolled a tauren warrior on Sisters of Elune. Yes, I have a problem. Still, I managed to level out of the tauren starting area without any heirlooms in one night, so it should serve as a useful tool for discussion.
