Fury Warrior Raid Guide

• Lightning Strikes
  • Your Lightning Strikes deal a significant part of your damage, and have a chance to proc Burst of Power.
• Burst of Power
  • A low chance on Lightning Strikes to get a significant Bloodthirst buff, and temporarily remove the cooldown of the ability.
• Crashing Thunder
  • Thunder Clap is with this trait a significantly stronger way to apply Improved Whirlwind and enable cleave, compared to Whirlwind.
  • With Thunder Clap being so strong, you barely lose single-target damage while cleaving, which is something Slayer struggles with in comparison to Mountain Thane.
• Thunder Blast
  • Transforms your Thunder Clap into Thunder Blast, dealing Stormstrike damage that ignores armor.
  • Has a chance to proc from Bloodthirst.
• Avatar of the Storm
  • A reliable way to get Thunder Blast.

Opener Rotation

  1. Recklessness
  2. Avatar
  3. Charge
• Those 3 abilities are not on the global cooldown and can be in a macro together, just make sure to have Recklessness first to get full use of the 100% increased rage generation that it provides.

Priority list

1. Use Rampage when you do not have Enrage active or it is about to run out within a Global Cooldown.
2. Use Execute if you have any of the following:
   1. 3 stacks of Marked for Execution.
   2. Ashen Juggernaut is about to fall off.
   3. 2x Sudden Death is active, or Sudden Death is about to fall off.
3. Use Rampage when 115+ rage or Recklessness is active.
4. Use Bloodthirst when it has 85% or higher chance to be a critical strike. -- Bloodcraze provides most of this increased crit chance.
5. Use Raging Blow on cooldown.
6. Use Execute on cooldown.
7. Use Rampage.
8. Use Bloodthirst on cooldown.
9. Use Slam.

Opener Rotation

• Avatar with Titanic Rage triggers Enrage.
• Titan's Torment gives you the first Whirlwind.

Single-Target

Multi-Target

Offensive Cooldown Usage

If you're assigned to Group 1:

If you're assigned to Group 2:

• The time between Gruesome Disgorge casts does not have your cooldowns line up well. If your group is struggling with the adds, disregard these timelines and simply save Avatar for when you are assigned to soak Gruesome Disgorge, and accept that you lose a use of it.

Defensive Cooldown Usage

• Use Enraged Regeneration when you soak Gruesome Disgorge.
• Use Spell Reflection when you get Bloodcurdle.

Boss Tips

• If you have Heroic Leap ready use it to get out of Goresplatter last second, that way you get increased uptime.
• You can Heroic Leap over the Spewing Hemorrhage beam, can be useful if tanks placed a bad beam and you need to kill an add on the other side.

Offensive Cooldown Usage

Boss Tips

• Use Spell Reflection if you get Decimate or high stacks of Cosmic Shards.
• Use Enraged Regeneration or Defensive Stance when targeted by Phase Blades.

Offensive Cooldown Usage

• If Infested Spawns are not trivial for your raid then you should save Odyn's Fury and Bladestorm for them. In "phase 3" there are no add spawns, as seen on timeline above, and you can have 1 use single-target.

Boss Tips

• Use Enraged Regeneration if you have an overlap with any other mechanic while Lingering Erosion is up.
• Use Spell Reflection with Spinneret's Strands.

• Play Anger Management on this fight, to have Recklessness and Bladestorm ready for all add spawns.

Offensive Cooldown Usage

• It can be a bit tough to have enough cooldown reduction to get Recklessness back in time for add spawns, especially the first ones if you are not using Bloodlust on pull. Play in a way so that you maximize cooldown reduction; prioritize spending rage, and if needed you can even do things that are normally mistakes but help spend rage, such as using Charge rotationally to generate extra rage.

Boss Tips

• You can dispel Unstable Web using Relentless Pursuit. When affected by the web, Heroic Leap out and instantly Charge back.
• You can immune Unstable Web with Bladestorm and Avatar, which can result in you triggering the explosion in melee. Keep an eye on BigWigs / DBM timers when using your cooldowns.
• Use defensive cooldowns when affected by Experimental Dosage.

Cooldown Usage

• Since the enrage is 6:30 it is perfect timing to simply use all your DPS cooldowns on cooldown.
• You can deflect Regicide with Spell Reflection. At the end of the intermission everyone in the raid gets targeted by Regicide, and this is the best Regicide to deflect, since it is much more likely that you get double-hit with so many more Regicides active.

Boss Tips

• Use Spell Reflection and Defensive Stance when targeted by Twilight Massacre, and then use Enraged Regeneration and Defensive Stance when the following Queensbane debuff expires.

Offensive Cooldown Usage

• The exact timing is likely to be different for you, since the intermissions lasts while the shield holds, and it affects the timing of all abilities for the rest of the fight.

Defensive Cooldown Usage

• Use Spell Reflection for Venomous Rain in Phase 1.
• Use Spell Reflection for Web Vortex in Phase 2 and 3.
• In the intermissions you can use Spell Reflection freely when you expect to take damage from orbs.
• Use Enraged Regeneration when affected by Stinging Swarm or if you take unusually high damage, for example if you had to soak many orbs while raid damage is happening.

Boss Tips

• The adds from Call of the Swarm fixate the initially closest target, so if it spawns on you then be ready to use defensives and maybe kite a little if possible while staying in melee.

Offensive Cooldown Usage

• If you don't have to kill any roots at 1:50, you can just use your DPS cooldowns when they come up, alternatively hold them for the intermission if your guild needs damage to break the shield quicker.
• In last phase you should hold your Odyn's Fury and Bladestorm for Gloom Hatchlings that spawn from Infest.

Defensive Cooldown Usage

• Always go in Defensive Stance and use Spell Reflection when Royal Condemnation lands.
• If you are the target of Royal Condemnation then additionally use Enraged Regeneration.

Boss Tips

• Spell Reflection can be used to not get rooted by Silken Tomb. You still take damage from it, so don't stack.
• You can Heroic Leap over the Venom Nova, this can be used to soak additional circles if needed, or if you messed up and didn't get into the circle in time you can still survive. It is important to soak the circle to reduce raid damage.
• Spell Reflection can be used to reflect damage from Expulsion Beam back to the Chamber Expeller.
• You can Heroic Leap over the Frothing Gluttony line in phase 3, that way not getting the Abyssal Reverberation debuff forcing you to spread and not taking that additional damage.
