Fury Warriors in the Current Meta
Fury Warrior takes on the style of playing very aggressively, attempting to
end the game as quickly as possible through decimating damage output and Slaughterhouse,
capable of doing some of the strongest single-target pressure in the game.
Fury Warrior does not bring a whole lot of utility but still has key abilities, such as
Intervene and
Disarm.
Fury Warrior is a bit of a coinflip right now, it could be very strong, especially with the
buffs to Execute, but the redesign to
Titan's Torment could also mean a
decrease in power. It is safe to assume that Fury Warrior will at least be a decent melee, going
into season 2.
Changes in Patch 11.1
- Warrior has had a redesign to PvP talents.
Barbarian and
Battle Trance have been removed.
Dragon Charge is now selectable as both dps Warrior specializations, but replaces
Heroic Leap.
Rallying Cry is now 100% more effective in PvP, and
Master and Commander has lost this effect.
Berserker Roar has been added.
- Many talents have been changed to either be merged, move position or include one more or less point
Reckless Abandon received a redesign.
Titan's Torment received a design.
Execute received a large 50% damage buff.
Changes in The War Within
The majority of abilities and talents are the same as in Dragonflight, but the Hero Talents Mountain Thane and Slayer have been added.
Bladestorm is back in the Fury Warrior kit and is a strong addition for dodging CC.
Fury Warrior Strengths and Weaknesses
High sustained damage.
Recklessness gives a lot of burst damage.
High mobility.
Slaughterhouse is a strong healing reduction.
Incredible healing output.
Enraged Regeneration is a strong defensive and useable while stunned.
Struggles against consistent ranged slows.
Not a lot of utility.
Choice of PvP talents is minimal.
