Fury Warrior at a glance

Summarized from Blizzard's class deep-dive articles. They were published during the beta, so live numbers and talents may differ.

Warrior as the developers describe it

Warriors stay on the front line as durable, hard-hitting fighters. Rage is more reliable, some utility moves into the baseline kit, and each specialization has a sharper role.[1]

Warriors deal melee damage and mitigate damage, and no other melee class matches their sustained damage against multiple melee targets. On the other hand, they lack tools to recover easily after taking too much damage.

Fury talents in Forever

  • Raging Blows (16-point gold medal): while dual-wielding, Whirlwind hits with both weapons, and Cleave costs less Rage.
  • Enrage has been redesigned and can now trigger from taking any damage.
  • Bloodthirst no longer heals you. Instead, it increases your movement speed by 10% for 10 seconds.
  • New talents: Boundless Rage (more maximum Rage) and Precision (more hit chance).

Fury talent build

One point per level from level 10, 51 points at level 60. The Fury tree is filled to 31 points first, and the remaining points go where they raise estimated DPS the most in the other trees.

The level 60 build uses the same method as the calculator's "Recommended build" (estimated DPS from tooltip values + judgment weights for talents the math can't capture, such as rage, energy and mana talents), with the extra rule "Fury tree to 31 points first". The order picks, one point at a time, the talent that raises the score the most on the way to that build. Estimated DPS is a rough "compared with no talents" figure and leaves out the damage of newly learned abilities. Talent point rules (starting at level 10) follow classic, since nothing has been announced officially.

Fury abilities

Fury abilities in the order you first learn them. The numbers are the levels at which each rank is learned; the description is rank 1 without gear or stats.

Fury Warrior gear by level

The 3 highest-scoring items for each slot in every level range. Only items whose required level falls inside the range are compared.

How were these picked?
  • The score is the sum of the item's tooltip lines from official game data (Strength, Stamina, Spell Power, damage per second and so on) multiplied by the weights below. There is no official formula, so the weights are Forever Tool's rough estimates (assumptions). Compare scores only within the same slot.
  • Equip, use and chance-on-hit effects, set bonuses and resistances are not scored. Items without fixed stats (only armor in the tooltip) are left out.
  • Only Uncommon and Rare items, plus craftable Epic items, of item level 65 or lower are included (no raid loot). Items that require a profession to use and crafts that need raid materials are left out.
  • Items without a required level count as item level minus 5. Only armor types a Warrior wears are included, with mail and plate counted from level 40 (classic rules, since nothing has been announced).
  • Sources list only crafting (professions) and quest rewards. Dungeon drops are being collected from player reports; check the item page.
