TABLE OF CONTENTS OF THIS PAGE

1. Fury Warrior Overview

Fury Warriors have very smooth gameplay with consistent single target, passive multitarget cleave, and a streamlined rotation in which Rampage Icon Rampage and Enrage Icon 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.

2. Patch 8.2 Changes for Fury Warrior

Fury Warriors underwent no specialization specific changes in Patch 8.2.

However, Fury Warriors gained access to the following:

3. Fury Warrior's Strengths

  • 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.

4. Fury Warrior's Weaknesses

  • The Haste buff from Enrage Icon 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 Icon Rampage, made more difficult when not enraged.
  • While there is some amount of customization, talents do not significantly change the core rotation.

5. Viability of Fury Warrior in the current patch

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.
