Fury Warrior Mythic+ Guide for The War Within Season 2

In this guide, we will talk about getting the most out of your Warrior in Mythic+ dungeons, including the best way to set up your character, how your rotation may change, and tips and tricks for using your abilities in the most optimal way.

If you are unfamiliar with Mythic+ and its associated general mechanics, you can read more about it on our dedicated Mythic+ page below.

To learn more about the Mythic+ Meta, check out our Mythic+ Tier List below.

Fury Warrior in The War Within Mythic+

Between Odyn's Fury Icon Odyn's Fury, Thunderous Roar Icon Thunderous Roar, and Bladestorm Icon Bladestorm, Fury Warrior is an extremely bursty AoE class, though it lacks sustained damage after using all of its cooldowns. Fortunately, they have a relatively short cooldown, allowing at least partial burst during nearly every pull.

Following the Patch 11.0.5 changes, Mountain Thane is now much more competitive, offering less instant burst but much greater sustained multitarget damage than Slayer. Combined with its already better survivability bonuses, this places Thane in a very strong position, particularly for higher level Mythic+ dungeons.

Best Mythic+ Talents for Fury Warrior in The War Within

This build is recommended for higher levels of Mythic+, focusing on much greater sustained multitarget, with nearly equal single target to Slayer multitarget builds.

The reason for going Mountain Thane over Slayer is increased sustained multitarget damage and survivability.

2.1.

Flexible Talents

Mythic+ builds are already tight on talent points, and Mountain Thane is even more so due to using Thunder Clap Icon Thunder Clap and its supplementary talents, sothere are only a few changes that can be made to suit personal personal preference, without incurring a noticeable loss in other areas:

  • Bounding Stride Icon Bounding Stride can be swapped for another point in the first tier, typically Intimidating Shout Icon Intimidating Shout, Second Wind Icon Second Wind, Pain and Gain Icon Pain and Gain, or Fast Footwork Icon Fast Footwork.
  • Honed Reflexes Icon Honed Reflexes is another potential pick as it affects several utility abilities, though the amount of cooldown reduction is so small tha it is often difficult to assign a practical value.
  • Crackling Thunder Icon Crackling Thunder does not provide any direct damage, though the increased range is very useful in ensuring spread-out targets are all still hit.
  • Thunderous Words Icon Thunderous Words can be dropped for more utility choices like Rumbling Earth Icon Rumbling Earth, though it still provides some damage despite the overall lack of bleeds in this build.

Best Mythic+ Talents for Fury Warrior in The War Within

This build is recommended for any level of Mythic+, focusing on burst AoE damage while still bringing a strong amount of priority damage during cooldowns.

The reason for going Slayer over Mountain Thane is significantly faster burst damage during cooldowns, as well as a generally smoother rotation allowing more freedom to focus on other mechanics.

2.1.

Flexible Talents

Mythic+ builds are very tight on talent points, so while there are a few changes that can be made to suit personal preference, they all come at a noticeable loss in other areas:

  • Second Wind Icon Second Wind, Pain and Gain Icon Pain and Gain, or Bounding Stride Icon Bounding Stride can be dropped to free up extra points.
  • Intimidating Shout Icon Intimidating Shout may be taken for increased crowd control, though it is rarely necessary due to the already low cooldown on Shockwave.
  • Honed Reflexes Icon Honed Reflexes is another potential pick as it affects several utility abilities, though the amount of cooldown reduction is so small tha it is often difficult to assign a practical value.
  • Hack and Slash Icon Hack and Slash and Ashen Juggernaut Icon Ashen Juggernaut may be swapped for Vicious Contempt Icon Vicious Contempt as desired.
  • Cruel Strikes Icon Cruel Strikes can be reduced or dropped to gain more multitarget from Uproar Icon Uproar, at the cost of priority damage.
  • Seismic Reverberation Icon Seismic Reverberation is a very minor damage increase, though Whirlwind contributes so little damage that it is not really worth the talent point.

Mythic+ Utility for Fury Warrior in The War Within Season 2

This section talks mostly about the uses of different spells. For in-depth explanations of all Warrior Abilities and Talents, including these, check out our Spells page.

4.

Utility of Fury Warrior in The War Within

Interrupts, Stuns, Stops, and Slows Other Utility
3.1.

Interrupts, Stuns, Stops, and Slows

Pummel Icon Pummel is the Warrior version of kick, frequently used in Mythic+ to stop enemy casts for the benefit of the group and especially the tank. Because it is sometimes necessary to interrupt targets other than the one you are actively attacking, it is highly recommended to use a focus or mouseover macro.

Slayer has the unique ability to use Pummel during Bladestorm Icon Bladestorm, which normally cannot be done.

  • /cast [@focus,exists,nodead][@mouseover,exists,nodead] [] Pummel

This macro will kick your focus target if you have one, mouseover if you have no Focus target, and your primary target if you have neither of those.

To quickly set a focus target in hectic scenarios, we also recommend a Focus Mouseover macro.

  • /focus [@mouseover]

Make sure that your UI shows your Focus Target's casts clearly so that you are always able to kick it on cooldown or in coordination with the rest of your group.

Not technically an interrupt, Spell Reflection Icon Spell Reflection is an incredibly powerful personal tool, which can deflect or reflect the damage and negative effect of many enemy spells, but only when they are cast on the Warrior.

4.

Stuns, "Stops" and Slows

Storm Bolt Icon Storm Bolt and Shockwave Icon Shockwave are single and multitarget stuns, often called "stops" due to their use in stopping enemy actions. Easier to talent into than the past; these are core talents in any Mythic+ build.

Intimidating Shout Icon Intimidating Shout is another AoE stop, fearing targets instead of stunning them. This has several limitations, causing targets to run away and potentially call allies, as well as some targets being immune to the condition outright. It is also limited to five targets, so there are times when it may not necessarily stop all of the enemies you want it to. Because of this, the talent is not always taken in Mythic+ builds, but can be added as desired.

Piercing Howl Icon Piercing Howl and Crackling Thunder Icon Crackling Thunder can both be used as AoE slows, though this is not something that is regularly needed in most content. Hamstring Icon Hamstring is the non-talented, single-target alternative, which is typically enough to cover any slowing needs.

3.2.

Other Utility

Battle Shout Icon Battle Shout increases the damage output of all melee classes and Hunters by 5% and should always be active.

Rallying Cry Icon Rallying Cry is a group-wide defensive cooldown, useful in helping yourself or allies survive incoming damage.

Berserker Rage Icon Berserker Rage and Berserker Shout Icon Berserker Shout removes fear and disorient effects, which are not very common in the modern game. The shout version applies to allies but suffers several limitations: requiring an extra talent point, having a very limited range that often misses casters, and only able to be used reactively after the fear effect has been applied rather than pre-emptively immuning it. As a result, it is rarely used.

Dungeon Tips and Tricks for Fury Warrior for The War Within Season 2

Unlike many classes, Warriors have very few specialized tricks to handle various mechanics, being mainly focused on personal damage and defense. Most of the tips and tricks in this section will, therefore, cover which spells may be negated or sent back toward the attacker using Spell Reflection Icon Spell Reflection.

Rather than trying to memorize all of these spells, it is highly recommended to simply use the Spell Reflect Essentials WeakAura to track them for you.

5.

Affix Tips, Tricks and Management for Fury Warrior in The War Within Season 2

Unlike many classes, Warriors have very few specialized tricks to handle various mechanics, being mainly focused on personal damage and defense, so they do not have any unique capability when it comes to handling various affixes of Mythic+. For general guides covering each of Dungeon or Mythic+ content in general, check out our dedicated page below.

6.

Affix Guide for Fury Warrior in The War Within

Affix: Ascendant Affix: Devour Affix: Voidbound Affix: Pulsar
5.1.

Ascendant Affix Management for Fury Warrior

Shockwave Icon Shockwave with Rumbling Earth Icon Rumbling Earth should be available frequently enough to handle this mechanic, with backup Pummel Icon Pummel or Storm Bolt Icon Storm Bolt as needed. Intimidating Shout Icon Intimidating Shout can be taken as well, but should not be necessary and may not reliably affect the correct targets in larger pulls.

5.2.

Devour Affix Management for Fury Warrior

Bitter Immunity Icon Bitter Immunity will remove the debuff, though it is not a great strategy as the affix happens much more frequently than the cooldown allows, which means healers will still need a plan to cover the other sets. This often results in holding the cooldown for emergencies that rarely ever come, effectively wasting the talent point. Instead, simply using Impending Victory Icon Impending Victory will help reduce the healing burden enough to quickly remove the debuff.

5.3.

Voidbound Affix Management for Fury Warrior

There's no particular trick here; simply kill the mob as quickly as possible to gain its buff!

5.4.

Pulsar Affix Management for Fury Warrior

There's no particular trick here; simply soak the orb of another player to gain a mastery and leech buff!

How To Sim Mythic+ for Fury Warrior

6.1.

MDT Sim

MDT Sim is the best way to sim Mythic+ for Fury Warrior. It allows you to sim an entire dungeon, pull-by-pull, with appropriate HP amounts and so on. In this way, you get a full picture within a single sim, of various target counts and durations. I have created a route that I feel is a good "average" of all dungeons that you can use. Drop the contents of the Pastebin into your Raidbots > SimC Expert Mode at the bottom > 'Footer'. Detailed instructions and more info on MDT Sim can be found on the MDT Sim Wago page.

On our Gear Page below, we have compiled BiS items for Fury Warrior that also apply to Mythic+.
