In this guide, you will find tips and advice to tackle Mythic+ dungeons with your Fury Warrior in World of Warcraft — The War Within (11.1.0).
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.

Fury Warrior in The War Within Mythic+
Between Odyn's Fury,
Thunderous Roar, and
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+ Talent Builds for Fury Warrior
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.
Flexible Talents
Mythic+ builds are already tight on talent points, and Mountain Thane is even more so due to using 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 can be swapped for another point in the first tier, typically
Intimidating Shout,
Second Wind,
Pain and Gain, or
Fast Footwork.
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 does not provide any direct damage, though the increased range is very useful in ensuring spread-out targets are all still hit.
Thunderous Words can be dropped for more utility choices like
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.
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,
Pain and Gain, or
Bounding Stride can be dropped to free up extra points.
Intimidating Shout may be taken for increased crowd control, though it is rarely necessary due to the already low cooldown on Shockwave.
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 and
Ashen Juggernaut may be swapped for
Vicious Contempt as desired.
Cruel Strikes can be reduced or dropped to gain more multitarget from
Uproar, at the cost of priority damage.
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.
Utility of Fury Warrior in The War Within
Interrupts, Stuns, Stops, and Slows
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,
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 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.
Stuns, "Stops" and Slows
Storm Bolt and
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 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 and
Crackling Thunder can both be used as AoE
slows, though this is not something that is regularly needed in most content.
Hamstring is the non-talented, single-target alternative, which is
typically enough to cover any slowing needs.
Other Utility
Battle Shout increases the damage output of all melee classes and
Hunters by 5% and should always be active.
Rallying Cry is a group-wide defensive cooldown, useful in helping
yourself or allies survive incoming damage.
Berserker Rage and
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.
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.
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.
Affix Guide for Fury Warrior in The War Within
Ascendant Affix Management for Fury Warrior
Shockwave with
Rumbling Earth should be available
frequently enough to handle this mechanic, with backup
Pummel or
Storm Bolt as needed.
Intimidating Shout can be taken as well,
but should not be necessary and may not reliably affect the correct targets in
larger pulls.
Devour Affix Management for Fury Warrior
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 will help reduce the healing burden enough to
quickly remove the debuff.
Voidbound Affix Management for Fury Warrior
There's no particular trick here; simply kill the mob as quickly as possible to gain its buff!
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
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+.
