1. Spell Summary

If you are new to Fury, this is a great place to start to get an understanding of how the spec works. In this section we will discuss what abilities you have, what they are used for within the specialization, how they interact with each other and also with important cooldowns. If you already have experience with Fury before or are comfortable with the spec in Legion, it is recommended you skip this section and move on to the rest of the guide.

2. Main Resource

Rage is your primary resource, generated both through your auto attacks and through some active abilities at differing rates. It is used to fuel your most powerful abilities such as Rampage and Execute, and managing it is crucial for maximizing Enrage and maintaining the flow of your abilities.

3. Basic Abilities

These are your core skills that are available regardless of talents, and form the core gameplay of the specialization.

Bloodthirst is your core ability, dealing moderate damage with a 4.5-second cooldown, generating 10 Rage and triggering the powerful Enrage effect on critical strikes. It also heals you for 4% of your maximum health when cast.

Rampage is your primary Rage spender, dealing high damage with no cooldown, and triggering Enrage on sucessful casts. This costs a large amount of Rage at 85, so using it to maintain the Enrage effect efficiently is crucial as this is your only way of consistently guaranteeing a proc.

Raging Blow is a high damage ability only useable when you are affected by Enrage, with no cooldown and generating 5 Rage. This should be used as often as Enrage allows you.

Furious Slash deals low damage, but increases the critical strike chance of Bloodthirst by 15% until it next deals a critical strike, stacking up to 6 times. This is purely filler and is rarely used.

Execute is only usable on targets under 20% health, and deals massive damage with no cooldown, at the cost of 25 Rage. This is your hardest hitting ability and is used frequently on targets when available whenever you have Enrage active.

Whirlwind is your main AoE skill, dealing low damage to all targets within 8 yards, is free and has no cooldown, and triggers the Meat Cleaver effect. This is used frequently as a filler on 2 or more targets.

Charge is your primary movement tool on a 20-second cooldown that instantly rushes you to your target, generating 20 Rage and rooting them for 1.5 seconds. Use this often to stay on targets and generate additional Rage.

4. Important Procs

Enrage procs from successful Rampage casts and Bloodthirst critical strikes, increasing attack speed by 100% and damage dealt based on Mastery: Unshackled Fury.

Meat Cleaver causes Rampage and Bloodthirst to strike 4 additional targets in range for 50%, and is gained from Whirlwind casts.

5. Offensive Cooldowns

Battle Cry increases your critical strike chance by 100% for 5 seconds, on a 1-minute cooldown. This should be used on cooldown to trigger Enrage and deal increased burst.
