TBC Classic Fury Warrior Pre-Raid Gear
On this page, you will find the best pre-raid gear for Fury Warrior in TBC Classic.
Fury Warrior Pre-Raid Best in Slot Gear
In this guide we will go over the different gear available for Fury Warriors before entering raids. We will offer multiple different pieces, as some can be rather expensive or very rare to find. Some slots have multiple "best" items that can change depending on your current gear and Hit Rating needs.
For the most part we will exclude PvP gear choices. While PvP gear can be a very powerful option for some slots, the gear will require many hours of battlegrounds or weeks of arena point farming to obtain while not being a "best" choice. We recommend only investing time into farming a couple of these pieces at most as the lack of fully PvE focused stats can leave you lacking in certain aspects (such as hit rating or crit rating).
