Fury Warrior Leveling Guide from 1 to 90 — Midnight Season 1
On this page, you will find our Level by Level Fury Warrior leveling guide for Midnight. Make sure to use the slider to make the guide adapt to your level. For more general leveling information, please refer to our Warrior leveling guide.
Fury Warrior Leveling Guide for Midnight
Fury Warrior is a very straightforward leveling class, which starts a little slow, but picks up worthwhile multi-target tools around level 17 and features very strong self-sustain.
Past that point, Warriors start to become quite competent, regularly pulling
several mobs together and cleaving them down without fear, thanks to
Warpaint mitigating damage and
Victory Rush to heal 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 can be used regularly due to its
short cooldown, while longer cooldowns like
Recklessness can be saved
for bigger packs or harder targets.
The
Recuperate ability can be used to
quickly regain health between combat, without the need to carry level
appropriate food around, since it always restores 50% of maximum health.
If this is your first character, or you simply want to find out more about leveling in WoW in general, we got you covered!
Leveling Gear for Fury Warrior
When leveling up, equipping the highest item level pieces of gear is generally ideal. The major exceptions to this rule are some trinkets and Rings or Necklaces featuring two secondary stats instead of just one.
When using Heirloom items, we recommend using those with Critical Strike and Haste, as they will slightly improve Rage economy while leveling. Find out more about Heirlooms in our dedicated guide!
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 until unlocking
hero talents at level 71, so these points may be skipped and reallocated later
if desired.
If you are just starting your journey into Midnight, we have a Level 80 import string for you. You can follow the point-by-point allocation of the below tree once you start gaining levels in Midnight.
Level-by-Level Rotation for Fury Warrior
To keep things simple while leveling and learning the spec, use the slider to select your level, and watch as the leveling rotation grows with each level!
Move the slider below to make the guide update to your level!
When using our slider, note that some talents may appear sooner than you expect them to in the rotation. This is because we have two recommended builds above, each taking talents at slightly different times, and sometimes entirely different talents.
