Fury Warrior DPS Easy Mode — Midnight Season 1

The single-target Slayer raid build is recommended for all encounters which do not feature secondary targets, though Odyn's Fury and Bladestorm can still cover limited burst when sustained cleave is not needed.

Without the need for stuns, virtually all desirable talents are already taken, so there is not much need for swaps outside of specific circumstance:

• Fearless has limited use cases in most PvE content, but can be taken in place of Wrecking Throw, Piercing Howl, Fast Footwork, or Interpose as desired.
• Second Wind is not particularly useful in group content, as periodic damage is common enough to stop the heal over time, though it does occasionally ignore certain mechanics.

The multi-target Mountain Thane build effectively replaces Whirlwind with Thunder Clap and focuses on Bloodthirst to transform it into the more powerful Thunder Blast, offering a significant multi-target damage increase while automatically cleaving the single target rotation.

Due to the need to take Thunder Clap and Crackling Thunder, Thane builds do not have much room for talent customization:

• Enraged Regeneration remains a strong defensive bonus and can be taken in place of Massacre or Warpaint, but good use of Defensive Stance should make it unnecessary in most situations.
• Bounding Stride is the best potential swap for any other desired talent in the top half of the tree.
• Fearless has limited use cases in most PvE content, but can be swapped with Wrecking Throw or Piercing Howl in the few cases it becomes relevant.
• Stance Mastery has amazing defensive potential as long as Defensive Stance is actively used, though its offensive benefit is lackluster at best. Crushing Force is typically the best drop in heavy multi-target content, though this also necessitates taking Resonant Voice instead of Javelineer.

The simplified rotation outlined below encompasses both single and multiple target situations using our suggested talents. Although some classes use different abilities between single or multiple targets, Fury Warriors have the advantage of cleaving all their single-target attacks using Improved Whirlwind, which is also conveniently triggered by Thunder Clap, so ensure that the buff is always active when faced with extra targets.

• Cast Recklessness and Avatar on cooldown or whenever burst damage is needed.
• Cast Odyn's Fury on cooldown.
• Cast Rampage near max rage or if Enrage is not active.
• Cast Bloodthirst on cooldown.
• Cast Thunder Blast on proc or Thunder Clap when there are multiple targets.
• Cast Execute whenever possible.
• Cast Raging Blow to fill the rotation.
• Cast Thunder Clap or 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 and capabilities, such as extending the Execute phase. These talents and their rotations are covered in more detail in the advanced sections of the guide.

The new Midnight Season 1 tier set bonuses enhance Odyn's Fury, passively increasing its damage and actively reducing its cooldown, though though the set does not result in any rotational changes, since both it and Rampage are already very highly prioritized. Although this allows the cooldown to be used twice as often, it is a rather mediocre set bonus, coming in at around +4%.

• Warrior Fury 12.0 Class Set 2pc - Rampage damage increased by 10% and Odyn's Fury damage increased by 10%.
• Warrior Fury 12.0 Class Set 4pc - Rampage reduces the cooldown of Odyn's Fury by 2.5 sec and Odyn's Fury damage is increased by an additional 10%.

The Fury Warrior apex talent, Rampaging Berserker, is very straightforward, passively increasing the value of Recklessness and Rampage in three parts.

• The first point triggers the Berserk buff every time Rampage is cast, passively increasing strength. While this buff stacks, each has its own duration, resulting in the buff constantly stacking and decaying, making it easy to treat passively and ignore.
• The second and third points passively increase the damage of Rampage and reduce its Rage cost during Recklessness. This allows the powerful attack to be used much more frequently and stack the Berserk buff much higher during the cooldown window.
• The final point increases the duration of Recklessness and grants three stacks of Berserk whenever the cooldown is used, further enhancing its damage potential.

Fury Warriors have several defensive abilities which can be used individually or layered for stronger damage mitigation. Although lacking any immunity or cheat death, this can make them very capable at surviving predictable incoming damage.

• Enraged Regeneration is the main defensive cooldown, reducing damage and increasing the amount of healing done by Bloodthirst. It is much harder to take in multitarget builds, though can be swapped with Warpaint or Massacre for only a small performance loss.
• Spell Reflection is a very powerful tool that not only reduces incoming magic damage, but can deflect or even reflect spells entirely. While not all spells will be reflected to deal damage to the attacker, simply deflecting their application can be significantly reduce damage, if not trivialize many dangerous abilities outright.
• Defensive Stance is one of the most reliable cooldowns in the game, featuring an extremely short 3-second cooldown, though mitigated by the associated reduction in damage. While this makes it somewhat unpopular, smart use of the ability can dramatically increase survivability.
• Warpaint is a very powerful passive damage reduction, which is almost always active in sustained combat, thanks to high uptime on Enrage.
• Impending Victory a powerful on-demand heal on a short cooldown that resets when an enemy is killed. This makes it regularly available and an important reactionary tool that should be used regularly.
• Second Wind, Pain and Gain, and Bloodthirst are extra healing effects which trigger passively and do not need to be micromanaged, but all contribute to increased self-sustain.

The general stat priority for a Fury Warrior is seen below. This is very much a rough guideline, and is designed for players who do not wish to sim their character. If you are simming your character, please disregard this stat priority completely and follow your sim!

1. Strength
2. Mastery
3. Haste
4. Critical Strike
5. Versatility.

Fury has an early emphasis on Haste, quickly transitioning to Mastery after a good amount has been acquired. Haste is still useful due to increasing auto-attack speed and reducing the time between ability casts, both of which lead to increased Rage generation and Enrage uptime, while Mastery increases damage done during that buff. Critical Strikes deal double damage, 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 are largely determined by your individual gear, and more information can be found on the Stat Priority page.

While the stat priority for classes is normally the same for both the Easy Mode page and our full guide, subtle differences may still occur. If you want to see a full explanation of the stat priority, as well as the absolute top choices for the priority, head to our full stats page below.

Combat Assistant, added in Patch 11.1.7, is comprised of two options meant to help players with combat rotations and gameplay.

The first is Assisted Highlight, which recommends the next rotational ability that players should use, in order to help them learn how to better play their specialization. While not a perfectly min-maxed rotation, it is perfectly serviceable, losing an average of around 5% compared to more complicated manual ones. However, it does not attempt to recommend offensive cooldowns, defensives, utility abilities, or other off-GCD abilities such as Charge, so players must be mindful to use these on their own.

The second option is the Single-Button Assistant, which is a new button placed on the action bar which automatically cycles through each ability in the rotation when pressed. Using the same rotation as the Assisted Highlight, it is serviceable, though an additional 25% penalty is placed on the global cooldown to keep this from being an easily competitive option, resulting in a roughly ~20-25% loss in performance. Therefore, it is only recommended for brand new players, players in trivial content, or those who are otherwise unable to keep up with regular gameplay.

In both cases, using cooldowns such as Recklessness and Avatar can be as easy as macroing them to the Single-Button Assistant or a common ability like Odyn's Fury or Bladestorm, though players may also opt to continue using them manually, as described in the rotation section.
