Spell Summary of Fury Warrior

This page describes the basic spells and passives all Fury Warriors have at Level 70. It goes over the main aspects of the specialization to help understand the remainder of the guide. It can also be useful as a quick reference.

If you are leveling a Fury Warrior, you likely will not have access to all of the abilities and passives listed here. However, our leveling guide can help specify when you will unlock access to everything.

Main Resource for Fury Warrior

Warriors use a unique resource called Rage, which works very similar to Hunter Focus and Rogue Energy, except Rage does not regenerate on its own. It always starts at zero and is built up during combat through auto attacks and certain abilty casts, with important damaging abilities consuming the resource. Outside of combat, Rage slowly depreciatates back down to zero.

Warrior Rage has a default maximum capacity of 100, although this can be modified by unique talents. While the resource is only generated in combat, there are certain abilities such as Charge Icon Charge which will help jumpstart that flow of incoming Rage, while other talents and abilities can increase your Rage generation further.

As a general rule, you should want to both avoid Rage starving or overcapping the resource, so that you do not find yourself in situations where you are either unable to cast important abilities on cooldown, or waste resource generation due to maximum capacity.

Rage is the Warrior resource, generated through auto attacks, special abilities, and spent on the powerful attack Rampage Icon Rampage, which also triggers Enrage Icon Enrage. Maximizing rage generation through ability casts in order to cast Rampage as frequently as possible, and therefore maximize Enrage uptime, is the central goal of the rotation.

For more information on how to use these abilities together in your rotation, please read our rotation page.

Wrath and Fury Icon Wrath and Fury - A must-have talent for Raging Blow builds, helping maintain ability charges.
Frenzied Flurry Icon Frenzied Flurry - A rather unimportant talent due to being tied to SMF and having already high Enrage uptime.
Bloodborne Icon Bloodborne - A powerful passive bleed damage increase.
Bloodcraze Icon Bloodcraze - An odd talent which helps Bloodthirst get critical strikes to trigger Cold Steel Hot Blood, but resets every time Bloodthirst critically strikes.
Recklessness Icon Recklessness Reck Fury's major offensive cooldown.
Massacre Icon Massacre - A very important talent which allows Execute to be used much more frequently.
Meat Cleaver Icon Meat Cleaver - A must-have talent for multitarget content, allowing more single-target abilities to be used in between casts of Whirlwind.

Onslaught Icon Onslaught - A nice but ultimately underpowered rotational filler.
Ravager Icon Ravager Rav A powerful Rage generating and damage-dealing cooldown that aligns perfectly with Recklessness and Avatar.

Dancing Blades Icon Dancing Blades - A surprisingly powerful passive damage increase, thanks in part to its high uptime through Titan's Torment.
Titanic Rage Icon Titanic Rage - A very useful talent which jumpstarts the rotation by automating some of the maintenance buffs. It is not actually as powerful as it sounds, but it is a major quality of life increase.
Unbridled Ferocity Icon Unbridled Ferocity UF A very powerful ability, greatly increasing Recklessness uptime due to how frequently Rampage is cast.
Depths of Insanity Icon Depths of Insanity DoI Unfortunately underwhelming due to Recklessness already having moderate uptime and not interacting with Unbridled Ferocity or Berserker's Torment.
Tenderize Icon Tenderize - A very nice but ultimately unnecessary quality of life increase due to how frequently Enrage is already triggered.
Storm of Steel Icon Storm of Steel - An extremely niche talent which is largely unused.
Hurricane Icon Hurricane - A very powerful damage enhancement, which aligns perfectly with other burst cooldowns.
