Fury Warrior DPS Easy Mode — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.1
On this page, we explain how to easily play Fury Warrior in World of Warcraft — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.1, using the simplest rotation, talent tree, stat priority, gear setup, etc., without sacrificing performance.
1. Foreword
This section is intended for players who are new to the game or class, have no intentions of raiding Mythic difficulty, or simply want a more straightforward way to play their specialization without being overwhelmed by the numerous priorities and active abilities that need to be taken into consideration for optimal play.
2. The Basics of Fury Warrior
Fury is straightforward damage dealer, focused on building Rage with
autoattacks and special abilities, in order to spend it on Rampage
to trigger
Enrage. This creates a constant and fast paced gameplay
loop, enhanced by the specialization's built-in haste buffs. The build showcased
here is a simple yet effective play style, good for all types of game content,
which is meant to help new players learn the fundamentals of Fury.
3. Talent Choices for Fury Warrior
While there are better performing combinations, they also have more room for error. The talents listed below are meant to simplify decision making and resource management, while introducing players to Fury's single target, burst, and AoE potential. Despite being the "easy mode", it is still quite effective for questing, dungeons, and raid content.
- Level 15:
Endless Rage
- Level 30:
Double Time
- Level 45:
Sudden Death
- Level 60:
Bounding Stride
- Level 75:
Carnage
- Level 90:
Dragon Roar
- Level 100:
Reckless Abandon
4. Stat Choices for Fury Warrior
The current Fury stat priority is as follows when using this build:
- Strength;
- Haste;
- Mastery;
- Versatility;
- Critical Strike.
Fury is a Haste-driven spec, due to it increasing autoattack speed and reducing
the time between ability casts, both of which result in increased Rage
generation and Enrage uptime, while Mastery increases damage done
during that buff. Critical Strikes deal double damage, but otherwise do not
interact with the specialization, while Versatility is a flat increase to
damage done and reduces damage taken by half as much. As is the case for most
specializations, the specific values of these stats is largely determined by
your individual gear, and more information can be found on the Stat Priority
page.
5. Basic Rotation for Fury Warrior
The typical single target rotation using our suggested talents is outlined
below. When there are multiple targets, prioritize Whirlwind as
needed to maintain its buff and ensure the rest of your abilities hit multiple
targets. Because it is part of the core rotation, the buff will often be
maintained on its own.
- Cast
Rampage at, or over, 75 rage.
- Cast
Recklessness on cooldown or whenever burst damage is needed.
- Cast
Execute during
Enrage.
- Cast
Bloodthirst on cooldown for Rage and Enrage.
- Cast
Dragon Roar while Enraged, particularly against multiple targets.
- Cast
Raging Blow to generate Rage.
- Cast
Whirlwind when nothing else is available.
While all builds focus on the same principle of converting Rage into damage
with Rampage and maintaining
Enrage, other talents add
extra abilities, maintenance buffs, and can lengthen the Execute phase. These
talents and their rotations are covered in more detial in the advanced sections
of the guide.
