Fury Warrior Leveling Guide for The War Within
Fury Warrior Leveling Playstyle
Fury Warrior only really have one playstyle, though take
time to grow into it. Starting out as a very slow leveling spec, Fury Warriors
do not start gaining more worthwhile multitarget tools until around level 30.
Past that point however, the gameplay picks up quickly, regularly able to pull
several mobs together and cleave them down without fear thanks to
Warpaint to mitigate damage and
Victory Rush to heal it back
up. By rotating several offensive cooldowns, Fury Warriors will eventually
chain from pull to pull with little to no downtime.
Always initiate combat with Charge whenever able, using
Heroic Throw or
Heroic Leap to pull more as desired. When
facing several enemies, use
Whirlwind first so that
Bloodthirst,
Raging Blow,
Execute, and
Rampage will cleave onto multiple targets. Once unlocked,
Odyn's Fury and
Thunderous Roar can be used regularly due to
their short cooldowns, while longer cooldowns like
Bladestorm can be
saved them for bigger packs or harder targets.
Fury Warrior Leveling Talents
You unlock the Talent Trees at Level 10. Further below is the recommended Leveling Talent path.
Best Fury Warrior Leveling Talents
Standard Leveling Build
While there are many different options featured throughout the talent tree,
there are not a whole lot of choices specifically for leveling, so this
standard leveling build covers players questing mob-by-mob and chain running
dungeons alike. Note that you do not need Thunder Clap or
Crackling Thunder until unlocking hero talents at level 71, so these
points may be skipped and reallocated later if desired.
Best Leveling Gear for Fury Warrior
When leveling up, you should always choose the piece of loot with the highest item level. The only exception to this rule is if you have a Ring or Necklace with a slightly lower item level, but 2 secondary stats on it instead of 1.
