Fury Warriors in the Current Meta
Fury Warrior takes on the style of playing very aggressively, attempting to
end the game as quickly as possible through decimating damage output and
Slaughterhouse,
capable of doing some of the strongest single-target pressure in the game.
Fury Warrior does not bring a whole lot of utility but still has key abilities, such as
Intervene and
Disarm.
Fury Warrior has a great damage profile for any type of situation. The primary downside, is that you often have to specialize into one or the other, to be competitively effective.
Fury never excels at both single target and cleave damage, having to choose between the two
via
Slayer or
Mountain Thane. However, the caveat is
you will always perform well with whichever build you choose.
Changes to Fury Warrior for Midnight
Midnight is here and with it, a whole bunch of changes to Fury Warrior. Midnight
has aimed to reduce the amount of button bloat across most classes in the game, and
Fury Warrior is no different, but also hardly affected by it. At most, you will notice
utility changes, but the core rotation remains pretty much the same, with the removal
of
Onslaught being the main prune.
Fundamentally, Fury Warrior remains the same, still having access to the same CC, utility,
mobility and rotational buttons, with only a few button bloat removals like
Thunderous Roar.
Additionally, the hero specializations
Slayer and
Mountain Thane function almost the
same, but have a new branch of talents that you will fill out as you level.
