Fury Warrior DPS Castle Nathria Raid Guide — Shadowlands 9.0.2

On this page, you will find Fury Warrior specific information pertaining to each boss in the Castle Nathria.

Additionally, this page assumes you are familiar with the mechanics on each fight. The basics of the DPS mechanics will not be fully explained, as that is covered in the raid guides themselves, but rather advice is given on how Fury Warriors can best deal with those mechanics.

Please note that this page is a work in progress. It will be updated with new information once the encounters have been tested more thoroughly and new strategies are discovered.

Spell Reflection tips will be frequently updated as the abilities which can be reflected / deflected have been frequently hotfixed.

Default talent recommendations will assume the player is a member of the Venthyr covenant (our recommendation for week 1 of Nathria, see the Fury Warrior Covenants page for more information). Other players should exchange Massacre for Frenzy. Several encounters also favor using Bladestorm over Dragon Roar for increased add damage. Other encounter specific recommendations applicable to all covenants will be specified as needed.

We advise you to use the following talents against Shriekwing.

• Level 15: Sudden Death
• Level 25: Double Time
• Level 30: Massacre
• Level 35: Warpaint
• Level 40: Cruelty
• Level 45: Dragon Roar
• Level 50: Siegebreaker

We advise you to use the following Legendary against Shriekwing: Deathmaker.

• Use Heroic Leap, Intervene, and Door of Shadows to quickly get out of line of sight when the boss casts Earsplitting Shriek, along with Charge to get back.

We advise you to use the following Legendary against Huntsman Altimor: Deathmaker.

• Huntsman's Bond causes Gargons to share health with the boss, making Massacre a strong talent choice even for non-Venthyr players cleaving Execute. Because of this Bladestorm and Meat Cleaver are both good talent choices for either bursting down adds or funneling extra cleave damage.
