Fury Warrior DPS Mythic+ Tips — The War Within (11.1.5)

This build is recommended for higher levels of Mythic+, focusing on much greater sustained multitarget, with nearly equal single target to Slayer multitarget builds.

The reason for going Mountain Thane over Slayer is increased sustained multitarget damage and survivability.

Mythic+ builds are already tight on talent points, and Mountain Thane is even more so due to using Thunder Clap and its supplementary talents, sothere are only a few changes that can be made to suit personal personal preference, without incurring a noticeable loss in other areas:

• Bounding Stride can be swapped for another point in the first tier, typically Intimidating Shout, Second Wind, Pain and Gain, or Fast Footwork.
• Honed Reflexes is another potential pick as it affects several utility abilities, though the amount of cooldown reduction is so small tha it is often difficult to assign a practical value.
• Crackling Thunder does not provide any direct damage, though the increased range is very useful in ensuring spread-out targets are all still hit.
• Thunderous Words can be dropped for more utility choices like Rumbling Earth, though it still provides some damage despite the overall lack of bleeds in this build.

This build is recommended for any level of Mythic+, focusing on burst AoE damage while still bringing a strong amount of priority damage during cooldowns.

The reason for going Slayer over Mountain Thane is significantly faster burst damage during cooldowns, as well as a generally smoother rotation allowing more freedom to focus on other mechanics.

Mythic+ builds are very tight on talent points, so while there are a few changes that can be made to suit personal preference, they all come at a noticeable loss in other areas:

• Second Wind, Pain and Gain, or Bounding Stride can be dropped to free up extra points.
• Intimidating Shout may be taken for increased crowd control, though it is rarely necessary due to the already low cooldown on Shockwave.
• Honed Reflexes is another potential pick as it affects several utility abilities, though the amount of cooldown reduction is so small tha it is often difficult to assign a practical value.
• Hack and Slash and Ashen Juggernaut may be swapped for Vicious Contempt as desired.
• Cruel Strikes can be reduced or dropped to gain more multitarget from Uproar, at the cost of priority damage.
• Seismic Reverberation is a very minor damage increase, though Whirlwind contributes so little damage that it is not really worth the talent point.

Pummel is the Warrior version of kick, frequently used in Mythic+ to stop enemy casts for the benefit of the group and especially the tank. Because it is sometimes necessary to interrupt targets other than the one you are actively attacking, it is highly recommended to use a focus or mouseover macro.

Slayer has the unique ability to use Pummel during Bladestorm, which normally cannot be done.

• /cast [@focus,exists,nodead][@mouseover,exists,nodead] [] Pummel

This macro will kick your focus target if you have one, mouseover if you have no Focus target, and your primary target if you have neither of those.

To quickly set a focus target in hectic scenarios, we also recommend a Focus Mouseover macro.

• /focus [@mouseover]

Make sure that your UI shows your Focus Target's casts clearly so that you are always able to kick it on cooldown or in coordination with the rest of your group.

Not technically an interrupt, Spell Reflection is an incredibly powerful personal tool, which can deflect or reflect the damage and negative effect of many enemy spells, but only when they are cast on the Warrior.

Storm Bolt and Shockwave are single and multitarget stuns, often called "stops" due to their use in stopping enemy actions. Easier to talent into than the past; these are core talents in any Mythic+ build.

Intimidating Shout is another AoE stop, fearing targets instead of stunning them. This has several limitations, causing targets to run away and potentially call allies, as well as some targets being immune to the condition outright. It is also limited to five targets, so there are times when it may not necessarily stop all of the enemies you want it to. Because of this, the talent is not always taken in Mythic+ builds, but can be added as desired.

Piercing Howl and Crackling Thunder can both be used as AoE slows, though this is not something that is regularly needed in most content. Hamstring is the non-talented, single-target alternative, which is typically enough to cover any slowing needs.

Battle Shout increases the damage output of all melee classes and Hunters by 5% and should always be active.

Rallying Cry is a group-wide defensive cooldown, useful in helping yourself or allies survive incoming damage.

Berserker Rage and Berserker Shout removes fear and disorient effects, which are not very common in the modern game. The shout version applies to allies but suffers several limitations: requiring an extra talent point, having a very limited range that often misses casters, and only able to be used reactively after the fear effect has been applied rather than pre-emptively immuning it. As a result, it is rarely used.

Shockwave with Rumbling Earth should be available frequently enough to handle this mechanic, with backup Pummel or Storm Bolt as needed. Intimidating Shout can be taken as well, but should not be necessary and may not reliably affect the correct targets in larger pulls.

Bitter Immunity will remove the debuff, though it is not a great strategy as the affix happens much more frequently than the cooldown allows, which means healers will still need a plan to cover the other sets. This often results in holding the cooldown for emergencies that rarely ever come, effectively wasting the talent point. Instead, simply using Impending Victory will help reduce the healing burden enough to quickly remove the debuff.

There's no particular trick here; simply kill the mob as quickly as possible to gain its buff!

There's no particular trick here; simply soak the orb of another player to gain a mastery and leech buff!
