Fury Warrior DPS Guide — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.2

1. Fury Warrior Overview

Fury Warriors in Battle for Azeroth have recieved many improvements from Legion, particularly to talents, improving multitarget capabilities, and Execute. The amount of stackable cooldowns has been reduced, streamlining the rotation to make Rampage and Enrage 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.

• Strong burst AoE abilities which are also useful on single target.
• Short priority rotation that is easy to learn.

6. Fury Warrior's Weaknesses

• 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.

7. Viability of Fury Warrior in Battle for Azeroth (Patch 8.1)

Fury is currently very competitive and viable inside both Uldir and Mythic+ dungeons, largely thanks to above average azerite bonuses. While Arms offers better on-demand burst AoE, the Fury 3-5 target cleave and single target rotations ramp quickly with no downtime, which allows it to maintain high consistent damage during extended encounters. Defensively, Fury provides one of the few group mitigation cooldowns, and exceptional self healing.
