Fury Warrior PvP Best Arena Compositions (Shadowlands / Patch 9.2)
Team composition in 2v2 or 3v3 Arena is very important, because not all classes work well together. Here, we give you the best compositions you can have for your Fury Warrior (i.e., the best classes to pair with it).
This page is part of our Fury Warrior PvP Guide.
2v2 Arena
Fury Warriors are about staying ahead of your opponents on pressure. Fury
Warrior has a lot of passive sustain and damage, as long as you have uptime on
your target, you can beat out most people. The real trouble is consistently
sticking to your target, as you are susceptible to abilities such as
Chains of Ice. As Fury Warrior, you need to maximize your pressure, and
try to shatter the enemy team before the game lasts too long.
Unlike Arms Warrior, you do not benefit from going into deep dampening. This is because you are oriented around self-healing and have few defensive cooldowns. You therefore cannot afford to play passively or defensively for long, and should focus on playing highly aggressively.
It is important to make use of cross CC, meaning you should try to time CC
with your healer onto the enemy healer and DPS to not only stop their healing
output, but also stop them from disabling your damage output with abilities
such as Disarm,
Mortal Coil,
Polymorph etc. Mastering
this strategy is key to closing out games, but you should not focus solely on
it, as it can be equally good to stun an opponent out of line of sight of his
teammate, or to ruin major cooldowns like
Avenging Wrath.
We strongly recommend you learn each and every offensive and defensive
cooldown for all specializations, and get addons like Flyplatebuffs,
BigDebuffs, and
Gladius, so you
have an easier time knowing when and how you should react. Alternatively,
weakauras are a good way to customize your UI and alerts. These addons will
give you an easier time identifying when an enemy uses cooldowns, that can be
difficult to spot visually, like Icy Veins and
Vendetta. See
our Fury Warrior PvP Macros
page for more information on the subject.
This will also help you understand when you should break off from your
target, and peel for your healer with Intervene,
Disarm,
Rallying Cry etc.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 2v2:
- Fury Warrior + Restoration Shaman
- Fury Warrior + Holy Paladin
- Fury Warrior + Discipline Priest
3v3 Arena
In 3v3 your role is to apply pressure to the enemy team. You should focus on
playing compositions that want to end the game as fast as possible, preferably
specializations that have CC in their kit. The general rule in arena for a
composition to work is to either have Focus on combining your high damage
output and Slaughterhouse with CC to keep the enemy team behind of
yours in pressure. Avoid pairing up with specializations that have
Mortal Wounds as this will overwrite
Slaughterhouse.
The best compositions will each be explained in detail below.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 3v3:
- Fury Warrior + Windwalker Monk + Holy Paladin/Discipline Priest
- KFC (Fury Warrior + Survival Hunter + Discipline Priest/Restoration Shaman)
- Batman Cleave (Fury Warrior + Subtlety Rogue + Holy Paladin/Discipline Priest)
- TSG (Fury Warrior + Unholy Death Knight + Restoration Shaman/Discipline Priest)
- WMP (Fury Warrior + Fire Mage + Holy Paladin/Holy Priest)
Fury + Windwalker
Although Windwalker Monk brings Mortal Wounds, this composition is
notorious for its unhealable damage output and stickiness to targets. The Monk
brings a lot of CC to the composition and cleave damage, which is one of Fury
Warrior's main strengths, allowing you to run over other melee cleave
compositions.
Use Leg Sweep for the kill target and
Storm Bolt for either
the enemy healer or an off-target.
KFC
KFC is less about sustained damage and more about making kills in
Freezing Trap windows. Your job is still to apply as much damage as
possible, but hold onto major cooldowns like
Recklessness and
Siegebreaker until your Hunter has successfully landed a trap.
Storm Bolt should be used on the kill target.
Batman Cleave
Not a very popular composition, and an extremely squishy one, this melee
cleave focuses on finishing the game right at the start, or else
will die around the second stun. The Rogue can CC the entire enemy team by
themselves, which allows you to focus on dealing damage. Try not to overlap or
get diminishing returns on Intimidating Shout with
Blind.
If playing with a Holy Paladin, do not save Blessing of Protection or
Blessing of Sacrifice for defense, and instead use them offensively to
cleanse CC effects and pursue the kill aggressively.
This composition can be extremely hard to pull off, but is also very rewarding when done right.
TSG
TSG is a hyper-aggressive composition that focuses on overwhelming the enemy team
with unhealable damage, and is the pure definition of 'A good offense is a good defense'.
By combining Slaughterhouse with
Necrotic Wound, and the incredible damage
this composition can push out, your goal is to never allow the enemy to have any breathing space,
and put them in constant danger if they relent on their defenses for even a moment.
WMP
The most-played competitive Warrior composition, by using the new trinket
Cosmic Gladiator's Echoing Resolve and
Intervene, the Fire Mage has
a lot room to control the game, which leaves you a lot of time to tunnel down
your kill target. Holy Priest and Fire Mage can use their instant CC abilities,
like
Holy Word: Chastise and
Dragon's Breath to secure control for
your team, which leaves you having little to do other than damage.
