Fury Warrior PvP Guide (Dragonflight 10.0.7)
This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to play in a PvP environment. The guide will cover everything from talent choices, PvP talents, gameplay and rotation, and useful racial bonuses. It is most applicable to Arena content, but most talents and racial bonuses will work in Rated Battlegrounds and skirmishes.

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. The new addition of the talent system in
Dragonflight has brought
a lot of beneficial powers for Fury Warrior, namely that you can now use
Storm Bolt,
Impending Victory and
Double Time at the same time.
Fury Warrior also has a robust defensive kit but has suffered from the recent
nerfs to Slaughterhouse. Fury Warrior may have to rely on the
Mortal Wounds
effects of other specializations, such as Havoc Demon Hunter, Windwalker Monk
or Hunter to have enough kill pressure to close out matches reliably.
