Best Covenant for Fury Warrior in PvP
Changes to the Build in 9.2
The
ability to equip 2 Legendaries
has made a significant impact on Fury Warrior. The Unity power grants
access to your Covenant-specific Legendary, while letting you
equip another Legendary in another slot. These powers are
Elysian Might,
Sinful Surge,
Glory, and
Nature's Fury.
Kyrian has seen the most benefit from this change, as you were already using
Elysian Might before, and now allows you an additional Legendary. While
Glory is not exceptional, it still adds power to the already-powerful
Conqueror's Banner, which leaves Necrolord as a close competitor.
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: Kyrian = Necrolord >= Venthyr > Night Fae.
- Kyrian provides you with
Spear of Bastion, which is an extremely powerful crowd-control and burst damage option. The spear tether is inescapable, even from teleport 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, and can quickly turn into a very powerful burst tool through all the different damage amplifiers Fury Warrior has, despite not reaching the levels an Arms Warrior can push it to. You generally will not make much use of the aftershocks themselves, so use it as a burst tool and for the 1.5-second knockdown. This CC does not share diminishing returns 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 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, but also allows you great uptime through
Death Sentence.
- You also get access to
Door of Shadows, which is an okay ability for quickly repositioning, but is vulnerable to being interrupted.
- You also get access to
- Necrolord grants you
Conqueror's Banner. You gain a large portion of Mastery with this ability, which is shared with two other teammates in your near proximity, as well as being unable to be reduced below 100% movement speed.
Veteran's Repute gives you a large increase to Strength while the banner is active, and is another reason why this covenant is very strong.
- The ability that follows with Necrolord is
Fleshcraft, which is a rather powerful 25% max health shield that can be enhanced through its soulbinds to grant CC immunity for the channeled duration plus more if fully channeled.
- The 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. We recommend you take these Soulbinds and paths for each Covenant.
Nadjia the Mistblade for Venthyr
Pelagos for Kyrian
Niya 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
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.
- If you have to put in a second Endurance Conduit use
Brutal Vitality.
Best Finesse Conduits for Fury Warriors in PvP
Disturb the Peace is a strong Conduit that makes it easier to stick to most classes, considering this is your only ranged slow.
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.
Your choice of Legendaries is now fewer with Unity, and
Covenant-specific
Legendaries are no longer part of the pool.
Deathmaker is the highest increase to your overall damage output and is generally the best pick.
Signet of Tormented Kings is a great burst and cleave damage increase, which pairs well with a
Anger Management build.
Misshapen Mirror lets you give
Spell Reflection to the nearest ally. 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.
