Best Fury Warrior Talents for The War Within
Best Talents for Fury Warrior
Slayer Single Target Raid Talents for Fury Warrior
The single-target
Slayer raid build is recommended for all encounters
which do not feature secondary targets, as it is currently using
Avatar instead of
Bladestorm. Although this seems highly
counterintuitive to the design, its powerful alignment with Recklessness
simply outweighs the direct ability damage.
Flexible Talents
Pre-Patch talent builds are currently very limited, due to lacking the extra talent points available at Level 90, therefore there are not many meaningful talent swaps. Leveling up in the expansion will open up significantly more room for customization.
Be sure to make use of the 'Export Talents' button to import the best build directly into your game!
Mountain Thane Multi-target Raid Talents for Fury Warrior
The multi-target
Mountain Thane raid build is recommended for all
encounters which feature secondary targets, though extremely short lived ones
that die within the span of Bladestorm may still favor Slayer.
Flexible Talents
Pre-Patch talent builds are currently very limited, due to lacking the extra talent points available at Level 90, therefore there are not many meaningful talent swaps. Leveling up in the expansion will open up significantly more room for customization.

Mountain Thane Delve Talents for Fury Warrior
Delves are very similar to dungeons in that they present a healthy mix of single-target bosses and multi-target add damage, resulting in near identical talent builds most of the time. The amount of stuns and survivability talents may vary depending on your level of gear, but there is little harm in taking them either way.
The multi-target
Mountain Thane build effectively replaces
Whirlwind with
Thunder Clap and focuses on Bloodthirst to transform it
into the more powerful
Thunder Blast, offering a significant
multi-target damage increase while automatically cleaving the single target
rotation.
Flexible Talents
Pre-Patch talent builds are currently very limited, due to lacking the extra talent points available at Level 90, therefore there are not many meaningful talent swaps. Leveling up in the expansion will open up significantly more room for customization.
Enraged Regeneration remains a strong defensive bonus, though
comes at the cost of a throughput talent. With good use of
Defensive Stance it should not be needed.

Mountain Thane Mythic+ for Fury Warrior
The multi-target
Mountain Thane build effectively replaces
Whirlwind with
Thunder Clap and focuses on Bloodthirst to transform it
into the more powerful
Thunder Blast, offering a significant
multi-target damage increase while automatically cleaving the single target
rotation.

Mythic+ can require a mix of AoE and Single-Target talents, depending on affixes and other variables. You should check out our page below if you want advice specific to Mythic+.
Slayer Mythic+ Talents for Fury Warrior
The current multi-target
Slayer build continues to revolve
around Raging Blow, as Beta changes to
Reap the Storm have not yet made
their way to live severs. It therefore plays very similarly to raid builds,
simply cleaving its primary rotation.

Fury Warrior Hero Talents
Fury Warriors have a choice between Slayer and Mountain Thane, each with their own strengths, focus, and minor gameplay differences.
Slayer is focused on Execute and Bladestorm, with the main
gameplay difference being increased
Sudden Death procs. It tends to be
the better choice for raid encounters, due to its high priority damage and
easy cleave.
Mountain Thane uses Thunder Clap instead of Whirlwind, with a
strong emphasis on Bloodthirst to trigger enhanced Thunder Blasts. Due to its
stronger multitarget focus, it tends to be used more frequently in Mythic+
instead of raid encounters.
PvP Talents for Fury Warrior in The War Within
Since Battle for Azeroth, players have the option to go into "War Mode," allowing them to participate in PvP combat with other players. Enabling War Mode provides the following benefits:
- PvP talents enabled in the outdoor world;
- 10% increase in World Quest rewards at maximum level;
- 10% more experience gained while leveling;
- Earn Conquest Points, which can reward gear every week.
With the benefits of enabling War Mode for leveling and PvE content, it is recommended to enable the feature to maximize your leveling and rewards at maximum level. However, you will make yourself available for open-world PvP, and the possibility of being "ganked" while leveling or doing World Quests exists.
Fury Warrior PvP Talents
Dragon Charge grants extra mobility, which is always useful while
leveling.
Rebound boosts the value of
Spell Reflection, providing
both more offensive and defensive value in exchange for a slightly longer
cooldown.
Enduring Rage is rather a niche but provides a small bonus
whenever crowd-controlled.
Death Wish is also a powerful offensive option, although maintaining
it is cumbersome in open-world content due to the necessity of refreshing
the buff every 15 seconds, and the ability cannot be cast while mounted,
flying, or otherwise not in control of your character.
