Fury Warrior Leveling Guide for The War Within
Fury Warrior Leveling Playstyle
Fury Warrior only really have one playstyle, though take time to grow into it. Starting out as a very slow leveling spec, Fury Warriors do not start gaining more worthwhile multitarget tools until around level 30. 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 and Thunderous Roar can be used regularly due to their short cooldowns, while longer cooldowns like Bladestorm can be saved them for bigger packs or harder targets.
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 or Crackling Thunder 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.
