Fury Warrior (PVE)
PvE damage spec with strong scaling and uptime.
Talents
This Fury Warrior PvE build focuses on maximizing burst damage through [Death Wish], making it ideal for short encounters or fights with clearly defined burn phases. By stacking Death Wish with trinkets, cooldowns, and external buffs, Fury Warriors can deliver extremely high damage during critical moments. This build sacrifices [Rampage] and [Precision] in order to access [Death Wish], and is therefore not recommended until you have sufficient Hit Rating from gear. Many of the Arms tree talents are flexible—if you are never required to tank mobs, points can be moved from [Improved Thunder Clap] into [Deflection] for added survivability. In raid environments where another Warrior is responsible for maintaining [Demoralizing Shout], points from [Improved Demoralizing Shout] can be reallocated into talents such as [Commanding Presence]. According to simulations, this Death Wish build offers the highest overall performance of all Fury Warrior builds when properly geared.
Build Notes
This build is designed around burst windows and optimal cooldown usage. It performs best in short encounters or fights with high-priority damage phases. Players should ensure they are hit-capped through gear before dropping [Precision].
Key Talents
Death Wish
A massive DPS cooldown that increases all damage dealt by 20% for 30 seconds. Properly timed Death Wish windows define this build’s strength.
Impale
Provides a strong damage increase by amplifying critical strike damage, making it an efficient DPS talent in the Arms tree.
Improved Berserker Stance
Increases Attack Power by 10% and reduces threat generated by an additional 10%, both of which are critical for Fury Warriors in raids.
Sweeping Strikes
Extremely powerful for cleave and AoE situations, allowing Fury Warriors to dominate multi-target encounters.
Flexible Talent Points
Precision
Can be removed once sufficient Hit Rating is obtained from gear, freeing points for talents like [Improved Execute] or utility options.
Improved Demoralizing Shout
Only required if no other Warrior is maintaining the debuff. If covered, these points can be moved into [Commanding Presence] or other DPS talents.
Rampage
Provides stacking Attack Power, but is sacrificed in this build to gain access to [Death Wish]. Better suited for sustained damage builds.
