WotLK Classic Fury Warrior Spec, Builds, Talents, and Glyphs

Fury Warrior has many choices it can make with its build, having multiple filler points and different talents that may be needed by your raid group. Change your spec to match your raid group's needs, as well as to match your gear.

This is the standard build for a Fury Warrior, but you have many talent choices to make depending on your gear, raid group, and preferences. Anger Management is a nice talent early on, but loses value the more gear you get as you will have less and less Rage issues. Heroic Fury is great for additional mobility for only 1 talent point, but has limited uses. If you are lacking hit swap points from Enrage to Precision, either 1,2 or 3 depending on your needs.

Most likely you will be asked to spec into either Improved Demoralizing Shout or Commanding Presence in a raiding environment, and Booming Voice is a great talent to take alongside either of them. Improved Berserker Rage is also worth mentioning as it is nice for a large burst of rage, especially on trash or AoE situations.

Overall, you have a ton of wiggle room with your talents as a Fury Warrior. Change your talents around based on your current gear, raid group needs, and your preferred playstyle. If you do find yourself with extra talent points, Improved Cleave and Enrage are good places to spend them.

In this section we will go over some of the key talents you will use when you are playing a Fury Warrior. Be sure to understand your most important talents as they are vital to play the build to its fullest strength.

• Death Wish

This is a massive DPS cooldown, increasing all Physical damage you deal by 20% for 30 seconds. With Intensify Rage, Death Wish has a 2-minute cooldown, essentially having 25% uptime.

• Flurry

Increases your Attack Speed by 25% whenever you deal a crit. Ideally you will want at least 40% crit chance to have high uptime on this buff as it is a large increase to your damage.

• Improved Berserker Stance

Increases your Strength by 20% and reduces your threat generation by 10% while you are in Berserker Stance. If you change to a different stance you will lose the massive 20% increased Strength.

• Rampage

One of the two classes that provide this 5% ranged and melee crit chance to the raid. It makes a Fury Warrior even more attractive to invite to groups.

• Bloodsurge

Gives your Heroic Strike, Bloodthirst, and Whirlwind a 20% chance to make next Slam an instant cast. This is a powerful proc that adds a fun element to the rotation page.

• Titan's Grip

This is the powerful 51-point talent at the bottom of the Fury Tree. With this talent, you can wield two-handed weapons in each hand, greatly increasing your damage-dealing capabilities.

Glyphs are a new consumable of sorts introduced in Wrath of the Lich King. Glyphs greatly improve certain spells when you learn them, supporting and even enabling some builds. Glyphs are not permanently learned, so you will want to carry multiple glyphs on you so you can change them quickly depending on the raid or boss encounter you are in. Certain glyphs perform better in different scenarios, so be sure to swap them around appropriately.

1. Glyph of Whirlwind — Whirlwind is your hardest-hitting ability and this glyph allows you to cast it 20% more often. It is absolutely your best glyph choice by far, and in AoE situations you greatly appreciate the extra Whirlwinds you get with this glyph.
2. Glyph of Heroic Strike — Heroic Strike is a key part of Fury Warrior gameplay, as whenever you have Heroic Strike or Cleave queued, your off-hand attacks will not suffer from the dual-wield hit penalty. This is a large boost to your damage done and Rage generation, further boosting your damage output, making this a great glyph to constantly use Heroic Strike.
3. Glyph of Execution — This is a fairly minor DPS increase for you as Execute is a very low-priority spell. There is however, no better option, making this your third glyph choice.
4. Glyph of Cleaving — Should be swapped out with Glyph of Heroic Strike for trash and bosses where you will be using Cleave the majority of the time. If you will be alternating between using Cleave and Heroic Strike, or if you are undergeared, swap Glyph of Cleaving with Glyph of Execution instead as Glyph of Heroic Strike is a great source of Rage generation that you will need.

1. Glyph of Thunder Clap — Although you will not use Thunder Clap all of the time, you will still use it when fight large AoE packs. This glyph increases the size of your Thunder Clap, hopefully helping you hit more mobs and deal more damage.
2. Glyph of Bloodrage — The impact of this glyph is fairly minor overall, but it helps out your healers a bit and makes you generally a little bit safer.
3. Glyph of Command — Typically you will be casting Commanding Shout as you should have the talent Commanding Presence, giving you a buffed version of Commanding Shout. If you are responsible for buffing this shout, this glyph is a great choice.
4. Glyph of Battle — This glyph typically is not used, but is very nice while leveling or in general solo play to reduce how often you need to cast Battle Shout.
