Best Covenant for Fury Warrior in PvP
For more information about what Covenants give you, please refer to our page about Covenant abilities page for Warriors.
The choice of your Covenant is important when it comes to PvP. However, you may have reason to pick another Covenant than the best one for PvP. It is important to note that regardless of what choice you make, all the Covenants are at least viable up to gladiator rating. The difference in Covenant will, however, only become more apparent as you start to reach higher and higher rating.
The best Covenants for Fury Warrior are: Venthyr > Kyrian > Night Fae > Necrolord.
Venthyr is the best covenant for Fury Warrior, because Condemn gives the most pressure. Kyrian
is only really good for the tether effect from
Spear of Bastion, and can help you secure kills
against Mage, Druid, Hunter and similar kiting classes.
How come I have fewer options compared to Arms?
As Fury Warrior, you have less burst damage and therefore benefit the most
from increasing your sustained damage as much as possible.
Condemn is overall the biggest increase, with
Spear of Bastion and
Ancient Aftershock suiting burst damage.
Additionally, unlike Arms Warrior, you
have fewer amplifiers. Arms Warrior naturally gain a lot more burst value out
of these abilities, because of
Warbreaker and
Avatar.
- Kyrian provides you with
Spear of Bastion. The spear tether is inescapable, even from blinking effects such as
Shimmer and
Transcendence: Transfer. The only way to leave the spear is through knockback, physical and magical immunities. This ability makes finishing off Monks, Druids, Mages, Hunters and other kiting classes a lot easier.
- In addition, going with Kyrian also gives you
Phial of Serenity, a much needed self-healing that is amplified by
Rallying Cry and
Inspiring Presence.
- In addition, going with Kyrian also gives you
- Night Fae gives you
Ancient Aftershock. This ability has a very high attack power scaling. You generally will not make much use of the aftershocks themselves, so use it as a burst tool and for the 1.5 knockdown. This CC does not DR with stuns.
Soulshape is the signature ability and is very good for chasing down targets or escaping to safety.
- Venthyr gives the very popular ability
Condemn, which replaces
Execute. The catch with this ability, is that although it is shadow damage and penetrates armor, it has a lower attack power scaling than
Execute has, which causes it to deal less damage against lower armored targets than the ability it replaces.
Condemn provides powerful pressure to targets that are immobile and durable, such as Paladins or Warlocks.
- You also get access to
Door of Shadows, which is an okay ability for quickly repositioning, but is vulnerable to being interrupted. The disorient granted through Nadjia The Mistblade is reduced to 3 seconds in PvP, and is best used as a distruption tool rather than CC'ing the enemy healer.
- You also get access to
- Necrolord grants you
Conqueror's Banner. Surprisingly, this ability is actually providing some really powerful effects, especially since it can be enhanced to provide up to 16% increased strength this season. Where this Covenant falls off, is that it is a ground effect that can simply be moved out of. This Covenant ability would have to become mobile to be considered competitive.
- This ability that follows with Necrolord is
Fleshcraft, which is a rather powerful 20% max health shield that can be enhanced to grant CC immunity for the channeled duration plus more if fully channeled. If you are to pick Necrolord, your power would mainly come from the signature ability.
- This ability that follows with Necrolord is
Best Soulbinds for Fury Warriors in PvP
Soulbinds are unlocked as you progress your character with a Covenant. Each Covenant features 3 Soulbinds that each have their own benefits and paths to follow. I recommend you take these Soulbinds and paths for each Covenant.
General Draven for Venthyr
Pelagos for Kyrian
Korayn for Night Fae
Plague Deviser Marileth for Necrolord
Best Conduits for Fury Warriors in PvP
Conduits are passive buffs that you can use to fill empty slots in your Soulbind Trees. There are three types of Conduits: Potency, Endurance, and Finesse. Here are the best Conduits for each of those different types:
Best Potency Conduits for Fury Warriors in PvP
Depths of Insanity provides you the most sustained damage, letting you have Recklessness for longer.
Ashen Juggernaut gives you critical strike chance on
Condemn. Only use this if you are Venthyr.
Piercing Verdict,
Destructive Reverberations and
Veteran's Repute should substitute
Ashen Juggernaut if you are playing non-Venthyr and use a 2nd Potency Conduit.
Best Endurance Conduits for Fury Warriors in PvP
Stalwart Guardian reduces the cooldown of your primary defensive,
Enraged Regeneration. This is a mandatory Conduit to pick, none of the others come close to this one.
Best Finesse Conduits for Fury Warriors in PvP
Inspiring Presence increases the health granted and duration of
Rallying Cry. This is a mandatory Conduit to pick, it greatly increases the survivability of your team.
Safeguard makes
Intervene reduce the damage the target takes. If you are going for a second Finesse Conduit, you should pick this to give the target of your
Intervene protection against spell damage and DoTs.
Best Legendaries for Fury Warriors in PvP
Legendaries have many different effects and some can alter how you should use some of your abilities. For more information on Legendaries, check out our general guide on them.
Here are the best Legendaries for a Fury Warrior.
Misshapen Mirror let us you give
Spell Reflection to the nearest ally, very similar to
Overwatch. This is a good backup Legendary to have vs teams that rely on CC'ing your healer with magic. Examples are hunters with
Freezing Trap or spell cleaves with
Polymorph and
Cyclone.
Sephuz's Proclamation provides good defensive power and offensive power. This Legendary is an option if you are playing Orc as
Hardiness stacks with it.
- Although an Arms Warrior legendary,
Unhinged works with
Bladestorm for Fury Warrior and is the only way for Fury Warrior to apply
Mortal Wounds. The
Mortal Strikes does great damage and makes your burst powerful.
Reckless Defense can, with enough crit, provide a large increase to your damage and make
Enraged Regeneration be on a very low cooldown. This will make it so you have it available every time the enemy has a chance to kill you.
Signet of Tormented Kings is the largest damage increase you can get and is a good legendary to play with.
