Patch 11.1

Overview

Fury Warriors are very active, GCD-locked damage dealers with a fast and straightforward rotation revolving around generating Rage and spending it on Rampage in order to maintain Enrage. While it has a relatively simple rotation compared to some classes, the associated haste buffs make Fury one of the highest action specializations in the game.

GOOD TO KNOW

Fury Warriors have exceptional survivability, by way of several short defensive and healing cooldowns.

Talents

The single-target  Slayer raid build is recommended for all encounters which do not feature secondary targets, though Odyn’s Fury and Bladestorm can still cover limited burst when sustained cleave is not needed.

Talent Build

Key Choices:

Dragon Charge — grants extra mobility, which is always useful while leveling.
Rebound — provides both more offensive and defensive value in exchange for a slightly longer cooldown.
Enduring Rage is rather a niche but provides a small bonus whenever crowd-controlled.


Stat Priority

  • 1
  • Mastery
  • increases the damage you deal with your abilities while Enrage is active.

  • 2
  • Haste
  • increases your auto attack speed, reduces your global cooldown.

  • 3
  • Versatility
  • Similar to Mastery, but scales less aggressively per stat point.

  • 4
  • Crit 
  • gives a % chance for your abilities to do double damage.

NOTE

Fury doesn’t really have any specific scaling with Crit, so it is a very low priority.

Gear

Fury Warriors should prioritize Helmet, Shoulder, Chest, and Leg tier set pieces. However, completing bonuses is much more important than optimizing itemization, so do not put much emphasis on holding out for better pieces.

First tier set bonuses are quite basic and straight forward. The cooldown reduction on Odyn’s Fury has good potential for short burst has good potential for short burst Odyn’s Fury damage being tuned well.

Tips & Tricks

Keep Abilities on cooldown: Nearly every rotational Fury ability generates Rage , though only one spends it, and in large amounts. This makes maximizing Rage income very important to ensure that the rotation never starves so much that it drops Enrage. Avoid wasting Rage: Unlike most resources, Rage starts from zero and decays out of combat. Making efficient use of it, both in combat and by reducing the amount of time spent moving from one combat encounter to the next, will help maintain the rotation and eliminate downtime spent waiting for more resources.

Avoid Downtime: There are several abilities that generate Rage such as Charge and Heroic Leap , so use them smartly to stay on target as much as possible!
