Fury Warrior DPS Guide — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.3

Fury Warriors have very smooth gameplay with consistent single target, passive multitarget cleave, and a streamlined rotation in which Rampage and Enrage are the most important gameplay elements, while built-in Haste buffs make Fury one the fastest action specializations in the game. In additon to a well-rounded offensive toolkit, Fury boasts high mobility, strong self healing, and one of the few raid-wide defensive cooldowns in the game.

We are maintaining a list of changes for Warriors for Shadowlands, the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion, which you can access using the link below. We also have pages for the new Covenant abilities and Anima Powers.

Whirlwind had a small tooltip adjustment to clarify that Charge, Heroic Throw, and Storm Bolt cannot be cleaved.

Fury Warriors also gained access to the following:

• new gear from the Ny'alotha raid, which can drop corrupted (see our guide to Corrupted Items for more information);
• a new Legendary Cloak;
• 7 new Patch 8.3 Essences;
• changes to existing Essences (including a 3rd Minor slot);
• a new Azerite trait ( Heart of Darkness);
• and a new reusable augment rune ( Lightning-Forged Augment Rune).

• Innate Haste buffs allow for a fast and spammy play style.
• Deals multitarget damage without sacrificing single target damage.
• Strong burst AoE abilities which are also useful on single target.
• Short priority rotation that is easy to learn.

• The Haste buff from Enrage creates feast or famine style gameplay, which may be unappealing to some.
• Ramp up time is needed in order to generate Rage for Rampage, made more difficult when not enraged.
• While there is some amount of customization, talents do not significantly change the core rotation.

Fury is currently competitive, though not the overall best spec, in single target and sustained cleave within Mythic+ dungeons and Raids. While Arms offers better on-demand burst AoE, the Fury 3-5 target cleave and single target rotations have virtually no ramp or downtime, allowing it to maintain high consistent damage during extended encounters, as long as it can stay in melee range. Defensively, Warriors provides one of the few group-wide defensive cooldowns, and exceptional self-healing.
