Focusing on solo progression for a melee tank class between levels 70 and 80 requires a balance of efficiency, survivability, and resource management. Below are the core strategies and routes tailored specifically for self-reliant advancement without group support.

Tip: Prioritize gear with stamina and strength to increase durability and damage output in extended fights.

  • Use a two-handed weapon for faster kills and better rage generation.
  • Choose zones with dense quest hubs to minimize travel time.
  • Keep First Aid and food items stocked to reduce downtime.
