Fury Warrior DPS Mythic+ Tips — Dragonflight 10.0.7
In this guide, you will find tips and advice to tackle Mythic+ dungeons with your Fury Warrior in World of Warcraft — Dragonflight 10.0.7.
Dragonflight Season 1
In addition to a brand new seasonal affix, Dragonflight Mythic+ Season 1 features a whole new rotation of dungeons pulled from past expansions mixed with brand new Dragonflight ones! This helps keep Mythic+ fresh and exciting, with a completely new rotation of dungeons each season.
Unique Challenges of Mythic+
Mythic+ Dungeons, especially high level ones, make up the highest level of competitive PvE content that WoW has to offer aside from Mythic raiding.
Fury Warriors continue to be well suited to Mythic+ dungeon content, offering strong burst and an easy time switching between single and multitarget damage. While certainly not the strongest class, they should be capable of completing all but the highest of keys without issue.
Because the majority of Mythic+ revolves around dealing with multiple targets, Fury follows the basic multi-target priority laid out in the Rotation, Cooldowns, and Abilities page. The key difference is in predicting the layout of the dungeon, and knowing when to save cooldowns versus when to use them. Smartly saving your cooldowns when a target is about to die, and instead using it on a fresh pack which will survive the duration of your burst damage is far more efficient and will help your group finish on time.
If you are unfamiliar with Mythic+ and its associated general mechanics, you can read more about it on our Shadowlands Mythic+ Season 1 page below.
Fury Warrior Mythic+ Builds
Below are the suggested talents for Mythic+, and although there is one primary dungeon build, a couple talents can shift slightly depending on your preferences.
Remember that you can easily import the talent tree below into the game with either of the two "Copy Export String" buttons:
Fury Warriors have a lot of talent choice when it comes to Mythic+, with the flexibility to bring extra defensives, utility, and tailor their damage to the expected situation.
- Offensively,
Ravager and
Meat Cleaver are the most important picksfor mowing down groups of enemies quickly, while other talents have more leeway.
- The biggest choice is between
Odyn's Fury or
Onslaught with the former being burstier, but the latter much more sustained damage and cooldown uptime. Currently, taking Onslaught alongside
Berserker's Torment and
Anger Management has become a very strong pick for high cooldown frequency and strong sustained damage against single and multiple targets.
- Defensively,
Defensive Stance and
Spell Reflection are indespensible, while
Impending Victory,
Pain and Gain,
Leeching Strikes and
Bitter Immunity have more leeway depending on how difficult the dungeon is and how much you trust the healer!
- Utility wise,
Storm Bolt is a very important tool, while
Piercing Howl,
Berserker Rage,
Berserker Shout, and
Intimidating Shout are a little more circumstantial. Many groups will already provide passive slows, and not all dungeons have fear effects.
Shockwave is also a very powerful tool, though due to the limited talent points available at Level 60, it requires giving up a great deal of damage potential.
Rotational Considerations for Fury Warriors in Mythic+
For the most part, your rotation will remain the same as normal in
Mythic+ dungeons, while ensuring that the Whirlwind buff is
always active in order to cleave your single target abilities. Because of the
nature of dungeons, however, with mobs dying constantly and there sometimes
being downtime in between packs, we recommend taking the following extra
considerations.
Note that the information below specifically pertains to Mythic+. If you require more general information, you should go to the main Rotation page below.
AoE Rotation
There are two general Fury Warrior AoE rotations, depending on talent
build, though their priorities are largely the same. Ensure Enrage is
always active, made much easier with
Fresh Meat and
Tenderize
or
Titanic Rage, followed by keeping the
Whirlwind buff
active and using cooldowns as frequently as possible when they will hit
multiple targets.
Onslaught Rotation
- Open with
Avatar,
Recklessness, and
Charge whenever possible
Whirlwind to apply its buff allowing abilities to cleave multiple targets
- Drop
Ravager in the middle of a group of targets
Rampage or
Onslaught to trigger
Enrage
Spear of Bastion or
Thunderous Roar
Rampage should be used as often as possible to
Enrage and avoid Rage capping
- Continue the single target rotation, ensuring
that
Enrage and the
Whirlwind buff are maintained as much as possible.
Odyn's Fury Rotation
- Open with
Charge whenever possible
Ravager can be thrown from a distance before engaging, or dropped once targets are positioned
Recklessness should be used to begin the burst rotation
Avatar should be used to trigger
Odyn's Fury, also applying
Enrage and the
Whirlwind buff when
Titanic Rage is talented
Spear of Bastion should be used after
Avatar, in order to benefit from its damage buff
Rampage should be used as needed in order to maintain
Enrage and avoid Rage capping
Odyn's Fury should be spaced a few seconds apart from
Avatar to avoid losing uptime on the bleed debuff
- Continue the single target rotation, ensuring
that
Enrage and the
Whirlwind buff are maintained as much as possible.
Fury Warrior Utility
Battle Shout increases attack power by 5%, which applies to all
melee specs and Warrior abilities, even those which do not deal purely Physical
damage.
Pummel is crucial in Mythic+ as interrupting dangerous spell
casts is of the utmost importance.
Rallying Cry applies to the entire party, making it a strong
defensive tool during periods of group-wide damage, or a personal cooldown as
needed.
Spell Reflection is exceptional in Mythic+, either for reducing
the damage of powerful debuffs, or reflecting high damage and debilitating
effects. Although the ability can be used quite often due to its low
cooldown, properly identifying which abilities should be reflected is key, as
it can completely nullify dangerous effects and render some enemies
completely harmless.
Storm Bolt is another useful tool in stopping enemy attacks and
spellcasts.
Intimidating Shout can also be used as a
faux stun, but much less often due to the long cooldown.
Berserker Rage is a nice tool for breaking fears, while
Berserker Shout will apply the effect to the entire party, though this
is somewhat niche and will not be applicable to all dungeons.
Piercing Howl is a very good slow, but its cooldown makes it less
reliable than more passive options other classes may bring.
Thunder Clap is a very mediocre slow, but you will often have it
applied anyway.
Trinket Considerations for Fury Warriors in Mythic+
When choosing your trinkets, there are two avenues of approach. The first is maximizing burst in conjuction with your cooldowns, while the second is maximizing single target in order to perform better on bosses. We recommend simulating yourself on Raidbots using the Patchwerk option for raids and single-target, and DungeonSlice (Mythic+/AoE Fights) Fight Styles. Usually, we recommend using trinkets that proc stats, rather than single-target damage dealers.
You can also get a quick overview of good Mythic+ Trinkets on our Gearing page, specifically the Simulation chart for multi-target scenarios.
Handling Mythic+ Affixes as a Fury Warrior
Most Mythic+ affixes require no special setup or gameplay considerations for Fury Warriors, although there are a few interactions to be aware of.
Explosive affix orbs are very easy to kill with as little as a single auto attack, though they cannot be hit by AoE abilities such as
Whirlwind or
Odyn's Fury unless they are your primary target.
Spiteful affix adds can be dangerous if you are not aware of their spawning, but are easily controlled by using
Storm Bolt or
Intimidating Shout, allowing ample time to get away from or kill them.
- The seasonal
Thundering affix periodically empowers players with a powerful 30% damage buff, indicated by a targeting circle around each party member. After 15 seconds, it will stun and damage players, though this can be prevented by purposefully stacking with a friendly player, removing their buff early and preventing its normal expiration effects. Because of its periodic nature, players will not always want to play around this affix, as holding cooldowns too long can be just as much of a loss as the empowerment would have gained, though it is absolutely worth aligning cooldowns for the large damage bonus whenever possible.
