Fury Warrior Damage Spells in Wrath of the Lich King

As a Fury Warrior, you will be focusing on dealing damage. These are all of your main damaging spells that you will want to focus on using.

  • Heroic Strike IconHeroic Strike — Increases the damage of your next melee attack. This turns your melee attack from a Rage-generating attack to a Rage-spending attack, costing you Rage twice essentially as you will lose the Rage you would have generated from the normal melee attack as well as the Rage you spent using Heroic Strike IconHeroic Strike. Only use this when you have a high amount of Rage to spend.
  • Heroic Throw IconHeroic Throw — Deals decent damage. Use this if your target is out of range.
  • Thunder Clap IconThunder Clap — Deals damage to all nearby enemies. Only use in high AoE situations.
  • Bloodthirst IconBloodthirst — Deals high damage and has a very low cooldown. Causes your next 3 melee attacks to restore 1% of your max health.
  • Cleave IconCleave — Increases the damage of your next melee attack and causes it to hit an additional enemy. This turns your melee attack from a Rage-generating attack to a Rage-spending attack, costing you Rage twice essentially as you will lose the Rage you would have generated from the normal melee attack as well as the Rage you spent using Cleave IconCleave. Only use this when you have a high amount of Rage to spend.
  • Execute IconExecute — Costs 15 Rage and converts additional Rage into more damage, up to a maximum cost of 30 Rage. Requires the target to below 20% health before you can use this.
  • Slam IconSlam — Only use this with Bloodsurge IconBloodsurge procs as it makes it instant cast.
  • Victory Rush IconVictory Rush — This can only be used after you get the killing blow on an enemy that is a similar level to you. You can not get this proc by killing low level enemies, such as critters. It is rare to be able to use this ability as it requires you to get the killing blow to activate it, but be sure to use it if you can.
  • Whirlwind IconWhirlwind — Attacks with both weapons, hitting up to 4 nearby enemies. Great damage in both single-target and AoE fights.

For a better understanding of what your damage rotation should be, be sure to check out your rotation page for a full explanation of both your single-target and AoE DPS rotations.

Fury Warrior Cooldowns in Wrath of the Lich King

Fury Warrior only really has one main cooldown, Death Wish IconDeath Wish. This is a powerful ability, giving you a large boost to your damage output. Timing Death Wish IconDeath Wish with other buffs & debuffs during burst windows is a key part of optimizing your damage output as a Fury Warrior. Be aware of what and when your raid will be using raid cooldowns as well as your own personal cooldowns such as proc trinkets.

  • Death Wish IconDeath Wish — 2-minute cooldown with Intensify Rage IconIntensify Rage. This is a huge 20% damage multiplier and is one of the better DPS cooldowns in the game. You will want to line this up with raid cooldowns like Heroism IconHeroism / Bloodlust IconBloodlust, and personal trinket procs.
  • Heroic Fury IconHeroic Fury — 45-second cooldown. This is a very minor cooldown for Fury Warriors that removes any roots on you and resets the cooldown of Intercept IconIntercept. This is mostly just extra mobility as you can use 2 Intercept IconIntercepts in a row, allowing you to cover a ton of ground quickly.
  • Shattering Throw IconShattering Throw — 5-minute cooldown. This should be used as a raid DPS cooldown and coordinated with other raid DPS cooldowns like Heroism IconHeroism / Bloodlust IconBloodlust. The 20% Armor reduction stacks with other Armor reduction debuffs, such as Sunder Armor IconSunder Armor. With multiple Warriors in one raid, this will typically be coordinated to keep the debuff up back-to-back for a long period of time.
  • Recklessness IconRecklessness — 3.35-minute cooldown with Intensify Rage IconIntensify Rage. Makes your next 3 special attacks guaranteed Critical Strikes. Try to line these attacks up with other cooldowns, such as Death Wish IconDeath Wish or while the boss is debuffed by Shattering Throw IconShattering Throw.
  • Enraged Regeneration IconEnraged Regeneration — 3-minute cooldown. This will consume an Enrage effect to restore 30% of your max health over 10 seconds. This can save your life during high damage spikes.
4.

In addition to your main spells and cooldowns, you also have many utility spells that can be game changing when used in the proper scenario. Make sure you understand each of the spells listed below to fully take advantage of your entire spellbook.

  • Intercept IconIntercept — Quickly rush to an enemy, stunning them. Great for closing the gap on enemies far away.
  • Berserker Rage IconBerserker Rage — Removes and makes you immune to fear and incapacitating effects. Useful if fighting any enemy that uses either of those. Counts as an Enrage effect.
  • Intimidating Shout IconIntimidating Shout — Fears nearby enemies for a short duration. Can be useful if you are in danger or surrounded by enemies.
  • Pummel IconPummel — Interrupts the target, preventing them from casting. This is an important spell that you should be making use of whenever needed. This spell is not on the global cooldown, letting you cast it freely.
  • Disarm IconDisarm — Removes your target's weapons for 10 seconds, greatly reducing the damage they deal.
  • Intervene IconIntervene — Rush to an ally, causing the next melee or ranged attack made against them to be redirected to you instead. Also reduces their threat by 10%. You may need to use this from time to time for mobility.
  • Shield Slam IconShield Slam — Dispels a magical buff on the target. Can be useful if you have no other way of removing a powerful magic buff from an enemy.
