Best Fury Warrior Talents for The War Within
These builds only feature the recommended Hero Talent Trees for Fury Warrior. To learn more about Hero Talent Builds, check out our dedicated page:
Best Talents for Fury Warrior
Slayer Single Target Raid Talents for Fury Warrior
The single target Slayer raid build is recommended for all encounters
which do not feature secondary targets, or those with adds that do not survive
beyond the duration of Bladestorm to be cleaved.
Flexible Talents
The recommended build already takes every important offensive and defensive talent, so there is not much necessary customization, though there are a few points which may still be changed as desired:
Fast Footwork,
Intervene,
Second Wind, and
Pain and Gain are all interchangeable, so long as eight points are spent within the first tier of talents.
Honed Reflexes reduces the cooldown of several useful abilities, though by such a small amount that it is difficult to assign a practical value. However, it does lead to
Wrecking Throw, which is quite strong against absorption shields and can be used as a moderately powerful ranged damage filler.
Bitter Immunity may be taken as an extra on-demand heal, though the long cooldown prevents it from being very important when Impending Victory is so regularly available and the debuff removal is virtually never relevant in raid content.
Be sure to make use of the 'Export Talents' button to import the best build directly into your game!
Slayer Multitarget Raid Talents for Fury Warrior
The single target Slayer raid build uses
Improved Whirlwind
and
Meat Cleaver to cleave its single target rotation for encounters which
feature adds or secondary targets that can be reliably cleaved outside of the duration of Bladestorm.
Flexible Talents

Bitter Immunity may be taken as an extra on-demand heal, though the long cooldown prevents it from being very important when Impending Victory is so regularly available and the debuff removal is virtually never relevant in raid content.
Seismic Reverberation and
Barbaric Training provide a very small amount of increased damage, though the low contribution of Whirlwind makes them very a inefficient use of talent points.

Mountain Thane Delve Talents for Fury Warrior
Delves are very similar to dungeons in that they present a healthy mix of single-target bosses and multi-target add damage, resulting in near identical talent builds most of the time. The amount of stuns and survivability talents may vary depending on your level of gear, but there is little harm in taking them either way.
The multitarget Mountain Thane build effectively replaces Whirlwind
with
Thunder Clap and the much more powerful
Thunder Blast proc,
offering a significant multitarget damage increase while still cleaving the single target rotation.
Flexible Talents
Due to the increased amount of talents related to Thunder Clap, there is very little room for customization, though a select few points may be changed if desired:
Bounding Stride may be dropped for
Second Wind,
Fast Footwork,
Intervene, or
Intimidating Shout, though eight points must be still be spent in the first tier of talents.
- Due to its low value in small group content, the recommended build drops
Rallying Cry in favor of
Rumbling Earth, which will often prevent more damage by controlling enemies better.
Intimidating Shout may be taken for increased crowd control, though the low cooldown on Shockwave already covers the majority of use cases.
Honed Reflexes reduces the cooldown of several useful abilities, though by such a small amount that it is difficult to assign a practical value. However, it does lead to
Wrecking Throw, which can be used as a moderately powerful ranged damage filler.
Pain and Gain and
Bitter Immunity add a small amount of increased self-healing, though their returns are not particularly high.

Mountain Thane Mythic+ Talents for Fury Warrior
The multitarget Mountain Thane build effectively replaces Whirlwind
with
Thunder Clap and the much more powerful
Thunder Blast proc,
offering a significant multitarget damage increase while still cleaving the single target rotation.
Flexible Talents

Mythic+ can require a mix of AoE and Single-Target talents, depending on affixes and other variables. You should check out our page below if you want advice specific to Mythic+.
Slayer Mythic+ for Fury Warrior
The multitarget Slayer build revolves around using
Execute
to consume
Marked for Execution in order to reduce the cooldown on
Bladestorm.
Flexible Talents
While the recommended build may be used without changes, there is a small amount of room for customization and personal personal preference:
- Either
Second Wind or
Bounding Stride may be dropped for more customization, though eight points must still be spent in the first tier of talents.
- Due to its low value in small group content, the recommended build drops
Rallying Cry in favor of
Rumbling Earth, which will often prevent more damage by controlling enemies better.
Intimidating Shout may be taken for increased crowd control, though the low cooldown on Shockwave already covers the majority of use cases.
Honed Reflexes reduces the cooldown of several useful abilities, though by such a small amount that it is difficult to assign a practical value. However, it does lead to
Wrecking Throw, which can be used as a moderately powerful ranged damage filler.
Bitter Immunity may be taken as an extra on-demand heal, Impending Victory is much more regularly available and the debuff removal is rarely useful on such a long cooldown.
Seismic Reverberation and
Barbaric Training provide a very small amount of increased damage, though the low contribution of Whirlwind makes them very a inefficient use of talent points.

PvP Talents for Fury Warrior in The War Within
Since Battle for Azeroth, players have the option to go into "War Mode," allowing them to participate in PvP combat with other players. Enabling War Mode provides the following benefits:
- PvP talents enabled in the outdoor world;
- 10% increase in World Quest rewards at maximum level;
- 10% more experience gained while leveling;
- Earn Conquest Points, which can reward gear every week.
With the benefits of enabling War Mode for leveling and PvE content, it is recommended to enable the feature to maximize your leveling and rewards at maximum level. However, you will make yourself available for open-world PvP, and the possibility of being "ganked" while leveling or doing World Quests exists.
Fury Warrior PvP Talents
Battlefield Commander enhances each Shout ability in a different way, increasing overall power and survivability.
Rebound boosts the value of
Spell Reflection, providing both more offensive and defensive value in exchange for a slightly longer cooldown.
Enduring Rage is rather a niche but provides a small bonus whenever crowd-controlled.
Death Wish is also a powerful offensive option, although maintaining
it is cumbersome in open-world content due to the necessity of refreshing
the buff every 15 seconds, and the ability cannot be cast while mounted,
flying, or otherwise not in control of your character.
