The War Within PvP Talent Builds for Fury Warrior in Arena

Slayer - Odyn's Fury Fury Warrior
3.

Slayer - Raging Blow Fury Warrior

Slayer Fury Warrior is focused on delivering high sustained damage, doing overwhelming amounts of pressure until the enemy falls over. The amount of damage this build can push out is very strong and easily one of the better builds of this season on the melee spectrum.

There are several talents in the Fury Warrior tree that you will want to change regularly based on matchups, which are:

  • Wrecking Throw Icon Wrecking Throw / Shattering Throw Icon Shattering Throw: This node comes down to whether or not the enemy has magical immunities, such as Divine Shield Icon Divine Shield or Ice Block Icon Ice Block. If they do, pick Shattering Throw Icon Shattering Throw, otherwise use Wrecking Throw Icon Wrecking Throw for shield breaking, and if the enemy team has none of both, simply skip this node and pick something else in the talent tree.
  • Anger Management Icon Anger Management / Reckless Abandon Icon Reckless Abandon: The largest increase to your damage here is Anger Management Icon Anger Management.
  • Ravager Icon Ravager / Bladestorm Icon Bladestorm: Always pick Bladestorm Icon Bladestorm for the immunity to crowd control and uptime it provides you.
  • Berserker Shout Icon Berserker Shout / Piercing Howl Icon Piercing Howl: Both are situational and really powerful. You should default to Piercing Howl Icon Piercing Howl, but choose Berserker Shout Icon Berserker Shout in situations where you can break fears with cooldowns on your healer, such as Intimidating Shout Icon Intimidating Shout or Psychic Scream Icon Psychic Scream, reliably, or if you're confident you will have full uptime on your target.

Be sure to make use of the 'Copy Export String' button to import the best build directly into your game!

You can choose 3 of the following PvP talents; each has its uses, but some are better for certain strategies than others. As Fury Warrior, your choices are limited as you will be running the mandatory PvP talent almost every match.

3.1.

Mandatory PvP Talents

Slaughterhouse Icon Slaughterhouse gives Fury Warrior its healing reduction effect. This effect can be powerful but, in general, hard to keep up. It should still always be picked up if your composition does not have access to a healing reduction effect. This ability counts as a Mortal Wounds Icon Mortal Wounds effect, and because the game only uses the highest value, other effects in this category will overwrite it, such as Mortal Strike Icon Mortal Strike and Wound Poison Icon Wound Poison from other classes.

Other healing reduction effects that fall out of this category do not, however, like Fel Fissure Icon Fel Fissure or Necrotic Wound Icon Necrotic Wound.

3.2.

Situational PvP Talents

Bloodrage Icon Bloodrage lets you have higher uptime on enemies than most other melee specializations. This ability will give you a much easier time sticking to targets, with only a small negative effect tied to it.

Safeguard Icon Safeguard is a very strong talent that provides an additional wall for your team, in addition to slightly more short-term mobility for you.

Enduring Rage Icon Enduring Rage received a rework and can be a nice addition against compositions that have an easy time shutting you down, allowing you a quick burst window to catch back up.

Battle Trance Icon Battle Trance provides you great sustained healing and extra Rage to work toward more Rampage Icon Rampage attacks.

Battlefield Commander Icon Battlefield Commander has strong benefits and is your go-to when you require no additional utility.

Disarm Icon Disarm has a short cooldown and can completely ruin the damage of weapon-based classes like Frost DK or Subtlety Rogue. This ability can even be used offensively vs. specializations that require weapons for their defensives, such as stopping an Arms Warrior from using Die by the Sword Icon Die by the Sword or a Death Knight from using Death Strike Icon Death Strike.

Death Sentence Icon Death Sentence can be picked for increased uptime, but finding a good time and place to slot in this PvP talent can be difficult. In most cases, Bloodrage Icon Bloodrage will give you more uptime than this choice.
