Fury Warrior Leveling Guide for The War Within
Fury Warrior Leveling Playstyle
Fury Warrior can opt to focus on Raging Blow, but
Bloodthirst provides much more value in helping maintain Enrage while leveling.
Starting as a very slow leveling spec, Fury Warriors do not start gaining more
worthwhile multi-target tools until around level 17. Past that point however,
the gameplay picks up quickly, regularly able to pull several mobs together
and cleave them down without fear thanks to
Warpaint to mitigate
damage and
Victory Rush to heal it back up. By rotating several
offensive cooldowns, Fury Warriors will eventually chain from pull to pull
with little to no downtime.
Always initiate combat with
Charge whenever able, using
Heroic Throw or
Heroic Leap to pull more as desired. When
facing several enemies, use
Whirlwind first so that
Bloodthirst,
Raging Blow,
Execute, and
Rampage will cleave onto multiple targets. Once unlocked,
Odyn's Fury can be used regularly due to its short cooldown, while
longer cooldowns like
Recklessness can be saved for bigger packs or
harder targets.
As of Patch 11.1.7, the
Recuperate ability can be used to
quickly regain health between combat, without the need to carry level
appropriate food around, since it always restores 50% of maximum health.
Fury Warrior Leveling Talents
You unlock the Talent Trees at Level 10. Further below is the recommended Leveling Talent path.
Best Fury Warrior Leveling Talents
Standard Leveling Build
While there are many different options featured throughout the talent tree,
there are not a whole lot of choices specifically for leveling, so this
standard leveling build covers players questing mob-by-mob and chain running
dungeons alike. Note that you do not need
Thunder Clap until unlocking
hero talents at level 71, so these points may be skipped and reallocated later
if desired.
Best Leveling Gear for Fury Warrior
When leveling up, you should always choose the piece of loot with the highest item level. The only exception to this rule is if you have a Ring or Necklace with a slightly lower item level, but 2 secondary stats on it instead of 1.
Level-by-Level Rotation for Fury Warrior
To keep things simple while leveling and learning the spec, use the slider to select your level, and watch as the leveling rotation grows with each level!
Move the slider below to make the guide update to your level!

Fury Warrior PvP Talents

Spell Reflection, providing
both more offensive and defensive value in exchange for a slightly longer cooldown.
