WoW Forever Fury Warrior Guide

Fury Warrior in WoW Forever: who it is for and what changed

You need a tank in front of you. Death Wish raises the damage you take by 5% and every miss costs Rage, so Fury plays best when a tank holds the boss and you can stay behind it and keep swinging.

Alone it runs dry around level 30, so most players level as Arms and switch to Fury for dungeons. In PvP Arms is the better pick, because Fury brings no healing cut.

Beta dataEditorial

• Rage comes from your weapon speed instead of the damage you deal, and since October 1 a critical hit with a basic attack gives 100% more Rage. Crit on your gear is Rage too.Confirmed
• Since the October 1 rework Whirlwind always hits with both weapons, so a good off-hand pays off twice.Confirmed
• At launch Flurry has 3 ranks for 10, 20 or 30% faster attacks over your next 3 swings after a crit, and it no longer needs Death Wish. Bloodthirst needs Death Wish instead.Confirmed
• New at launch: Reckless Swings (15 sec cooldown, costs 25% of your base health, your next 4 melee attacks give 5 more Rage each) and Improved Whirlwind (up to 2 sec off the cooldown and up to 30% more damage to the closest enemy), which takes the place of Raging Blows.Confirmed
• A queued Heroic Strike no longer raises your off-hand hit chance.Beta data
• Battle Shout reaches your whole raid since October 16, not just your party.Confirmed
