Beginner Fury Warrior DPS Rotation
The simplified rotation outlined below encompasses both single and multipletarget situations using our suggested talents. Although some classes usedifferent abilities between single or multiple targets, Fury Warriors have theadvantage of cleaving all their single-target attacks using Improved Whirlwind.
- Always open with Charge whenever possible to generate extra Rage.
- Cast Recklessness on cooldown or whenever burst damage is needed.
- Cast Avatar to automatically trigger Enrage, cast Odyn's Fury, and the Whirlwind buff.
- Cast Whirlwind to apply the Whirlwind buff when facing multiple targets, if not already active.
- Cast Thunderous Roar while enraged.
- Cast Bladestorm during Recklessness, following a fresh Enrage.
- Cast Odyn's Fury on cooldown.
- Cast Crushing Blow, which will automatically replace Raging Blow.
- Cast Bloodbath, which will automatically replace Bloodthirst.
- Cast Rampage to maintain Enrage and activate Reckless Abandon.
- Cast Execute whenever possible.
- Cast Raging Blow as the main rotational filler.
- Cast Bloodthirst to help maintain Enrage.
- Cast Whirlwind when nothing else is available.
While all builds focus on the same principle of converting Rage into damagewith Rampage and maintaining Enrage, other talents addextra abilities and capabilities, such as extending the Execute phase. Thesetalents and their rotations are covered in more detail in the advanced sectionsof the guide.

Defensive Spells for Fury Warrior
Fury Warriors have several defensive abilities which can be usedindividually or layered for stronger damage mitigation. Although lacking anyimmunity or cheat death, this can make them very capable at survivingpredictable incoming damage.
- Enraged Regeneration is the main defensive cooldown, reducingdamage and increasing the amount of healing done by Bloodthirst.
- Spell Reflection is a very powerful tool that not only reducesincoming magic damage, but can deflect or even reflect spells entirely. Whilenot all spells will be reflected to deal damage to the attacker, simplydeflecting their application can be significantly reduce damage, if nottrivialize many dangerous abilities outright.
- Defensive Stance is one of the most reliable cooldowns in thegame, featuring an extremely short 3-second cooldown, though mitigated by theassociated reduction in damage. While this makes it somewhatunpopular, smart use of the ability can dramatically increase survivability.
- Warpaint is a very powerful passive damage reduction, which isalmost always active in sustained combat, thanks to high uptime on Enrage.
- Impending Victory a powerful on-demand heal on a short cooldown thatresets when an enemy is killed. This makes it regularly available and animportant reactionary tool that should be used regularly.
- Second Wind, Pain and Gain, and Bloodthirst areextra healing effects which trigger passively and do not need to bemicromanaged, but all contribute to increased self-sustain.
- Bitter Immunity provides an on-demand heal and removal of certainafflictions, though its long cooldown makes it lackluster in most groupcontent where a healer will typically cover those needs.

Stat Priority for Fury Warrior
The general stat priority for a Fury Warrior is seenbelow. This is very much a rough guideline, and is designed for players who donot wish to sim their character. If you are simming your character, pleasedisregard this stat priority completely and follow your sim!
- Strength;
- Haste;
- Mastery;
- Versatility;
- Critical Strike.
Fury has an early emphasis on Haste, quickly transitioning to Mastery andVersatility after a good amount has been acquired. Haste is stilluseful due to increasing autoattack speed and reducing the time betweenability casts, both of which lead to increased Rage generation and Enrage uptime, while Mastery increases damage done during that buff.Critical Strikes deal double damage, while Versatility is a flat increase todamage done and reduces damage taken by half as much. As is the case for mostspecializations, the specific values of these stats are largely determined byyour individual gear, and more information can be found on the Stat Prioritypage.
While the stat priority for classes is normally the same for both the EasyMode page and our full guide, subtle differences may still occur. If you want tosee a full explanation of the stat priority, as well as the absolute top choicesfor the priority, head to our full stats page below.
