Hero Talents

Patch 11.1 - Undermine(d)
Fury Warrior
  • Slayer is significantly stronger on single target, and Mountain Thane is significantly stronger in AoE. Single target damage is generally more important in raids, and so it is more often played, although both Slayer and Mountain Thane are great options.
Slayer
Mountain Thane
  • Slayer's Dominance
    • Your attacks have a chance to trigger Slayer's Strike which does damage and applies Marked for Execution.
  • Unrelenting Onslaught
    • Consuming Marked for Execution reduces the cooldown of Bladestorm.
    • You can use Storm Bolt while channeling Bladestorm because of this talent, and since Storm Bolt does some damage it is a DPS increase.
  • Overwhelming Blades
    • Consuming Marked for Execution, getting a Reap the Storm proc or using Bladestorm applies Overwhelmed.
  • Imminent Demise
    • Increases the amount of Sudden Death you get.
    • The effect to accelerate your Bladestorm is incredibly powerful;
      • Normally as a Fury Warrior Bladestorm strikes 5 times, an increase to 8 strikes is a 60% increase in strikes and damage.
      • Popular talent Unhinged would normally have 2 automatic Bloodthirsts, but with these additional Bladestorm strikes you instead do 4 automatic Bloodthirsts, a 100% increase.
  • Fierce Followthrough
    • With the Bloodcraze talent your Bloodthirsts and Bloodbaths are often critical strikes and benefit greatly from this hero talent.
  • Reap the Storm
    • Greatly increases the value of Bloodthirst in AoE situations.
  • 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.

When to use this Spec

Use this spec if you need to do anything more than just single-target damage. This talent setup does not sacrifice much single-target damage, less than 3%, in order to get significant cleave damage. There are many variations of cleave builds that sacrifice slightly more single-target damage in order to get slightly more cleave, you can consider this a starting point and feel free to experiment.

Deep Dive

Patch 11.1 - Undermine(d)

Single-Target

  • During your cooldowns you have access to the empowered versions of Bloodthirst and Raging Blow.
  • These abilities are used in just the same way as the not empowered versions, with a couple of exceptions:
    • You prefer Bloodbath over Rampage unless you need to get Enrage.
    • Bloodbath is a higher priority than Crushing Blow if the target is below 35%.

Multi-Target

  • As a priority list:
  1. Use Thunderous Roar on cooldown.
  2. Use Recklessness on cooldown.
  3. Use Avatar on cooldown.
  4. Use Bladestorm if Recklessness has more than 25 seconds remaining cooldown.

Mountain Thane Anger Management
  • As a priority list:

  2. Use Ravager on cooldown.
  3. Use Recklessness on cooldown.

Single-Target

Multi-Target

Delay Rampage

  • You delay Rampage in your rotation, it is only the highest priority when it is needed to enable Enrage.
  • Several abilities deal higher damage than Rampage, and are a higher priority even if you are rage-capping.
  • When you are not at risk of hitting the rage cap, it is beneficial to collect more rage and spend Raging Blow charges, since this should reduce the amount of Slams to cast over time.
  • If you play Anger Management, there is a great value in spending rage itself, in order to get higher uptime of your cooldowns. You can still delay Rampage, but not if you risk hitting the rage-cap.

Understanding Mechanics

Rotational min-maxing is just one aspect of mastering a specialization, but there are numerous other key mechanics that influence your performance. Use the following guides to improve them.

Fury Warrior Slayer Raid Cleave Talents

Offensive Cooldown Usage

  • Use cooldowns on pull, and then hold future uses for Mechanical Breakdown, like shown on the timeline below.

Defensive Cooldown Usage

  • Use Spell Reflection to reduce damage taken when affected by Bomb Voyage!.
Fury Warrior Slayer Raid Cleave Talents

Offensive Cooldown Usage

  • The first Colossal Clash happens a bit too early to line up with your cooldowns well. If you use Avatar with 10 seconds left of the pull timer, you waste half of it but then have your Avatar for every Colossal Clash.

Defensive Cooldown Usage

  • The timing between Scrapbomb can be a bit close to have Spell Reflection ready for all of them, but if you pre-use Spell Reflection so that the end of it covers the bomb you can have it ready for all.

Boss Tips

  • The Colossal Clash can be very dangerous and it is also the best time to use DPS cooldowns since you can attack 2 targets. It might be best to save your defensive cooldown also to save yourself when you get hit by Fiery Wave.
Fury Warrior Slayer Raid Cleave Talents

Offensive Cooldown Usage

  • You can use Avatar twice in the first and third phase, and once in the second phase.

Defensive Cooldown Usage

  • Use defensives if targeted by Sound Cannon.
Fury Warrior Mountain Thane Raid Cleave Talents

Offensive Cooldown Usage

  • The timeline below shows a good way to use Avatar if you are trying to do damage to the Adds.

Defensive Cooldown Usage

  • You can cover every single Incineration with Spell Reflection.

Boss Tips

  • When targeted by Rolling Rubbish you can Heroic Leap out and get some distance to the boss, making it easier to find a good path of garbage to pick up.
Fury Warrior Slayer Raid Single-Target

Offensive Cooldown Usage

  • Be careful to not use your cooldowns just before Beta Launch.

Defensive Cooldown Usage

  • Use defensive cooldowns when there is an overlap of Sonic Ba-Boom and Foot-Blasters exploding.
Fury Warrior Slayer Raid Cleave Talents

Offensive Cooldown Usage

  • Try to use your cooldowns either with Spin To Win! or with the bombs that spawn after, and not use cooldowns on a single target unless you can't delay without losing a use.

Defensive Cooldown Usage

  • Foul Exhaust can be dangerous if overlapped with other damage such as Electric Blast. Be ready to use a defensive cooldown to cover it.

Boss Tips

  • Stay close to the Pay-Line to get High Roller!.
Fury Warrior Slayer Raid Cleave Talents

Boss Tips

  • There is a decent amount of 2-target cleave on this fight, ideally don't use your cooldowns much on a single target only.
  • The Volunteer Rocketeer is a dangerous mob that comes down at low health %, enabling you to get execute bonuses such as Vicious Contempt instantly.
Fury Warrior Slayer Raid Cleave Talents

Boss Tips

  • Gallywix has not been seen yet at the time or writing, but the above talents are a good starting point.
  • The guide will be updated shortly after the Race to World First Liberation of Undermine Mythic is done.

Stat Priority

Patch 11.1 - Undermine(d)
Fury Warrior

Understand your stat priority and the tertiary stats needed for optimal performance during Raid boss fights as a Fury Warrior. For more detailed information, visit the Stats and Attributes guide.

Fury Warrior Stat Priority in Raids

Higher Item level items are better in most scenarios. For an accurate representation of what item to equip you should use Simcraft! A static "Stat Priority" is just a starting point and can easily shift depending on your individual gear.

  • All secondary stats are affected by diminishing returns. Click here to learn more!

Tertiary

  • Avoidance - Great stat to reduce the damage intake of "Area of Effect" abilities.
  • Leech - Provides additional healing through damage dealing. The damage of your pets does not heal you thus Leech is a great tertiary for you since most of your damage is coming from your own spells.
  • Speed - Niche tertiary that can be very useful and has been proven useful in the past. Makes playing certain mechanics a lot easier.

Trinkets

Below you can find active and passive alternatives to our recommended trinkets. Do note that some trinkets are better than others depending on the raid boss.

Active Trinket alternatives

  • House of Cards
    • The best active trinket, which is BiS in many situations when you need burst damage.
  • Funhouse Lens
    • A good alternative from delves.

Passive Trinket alternatives

  • Mechano-Core Amplifier
    • Excellent trinket but can be hard to farm since delves have such a big loot pool.
  • Eye of Kezan
    • By far the best trinket for raiding.

Embellishments

  • 2x Duskthread Lining
    • BiS is crafted on Wrist and Cloak.

or

  • 2x Dawnthread Lining
    • BiS is crafted on Wrist and Cloak.

Which one is best depends on your stats, but generally Duskthread Lining is slightly better.

Remaining Sparks

  • Crafted items are 675 item level and regular items are 678 on max item level, therefore, it's not beneficial to equip crafted items outside of your 2x embellishments unless you don't have access to other high item level gear on that slot.

Races

Patch 11.1 - Undermine(d)
Fury Warrior

For min-maxing a Fury Warrior in raiding, different racial traits can provide a tremendous benefit to your character. If this is not your top goal, picking a race that fits your style works just as well.

  • Escape Artist -- Gnome
    • Root and Snare dispel.
  • Shadowmeld -- Night Elf
    • Drop combat in order to avoid spells being targeted at you.
  • Stoneform -- Dwarf
    • Removes all Poison, Disease, Curse, Magic, and Bleed simultaneously.
  • Arcane Torrent -- Blood Elf
    • Dispels 1 beneficial effect from all nearby enemies at the same time.
  • Spatial Rift -- Void Elf
    • Activate to spawn a shadow traveling in the direction you are facing. Activate again to teleport to it.
    • Maximum range of 100 yards.

Recommendation

If you prioritize the highest DPS then you should go with the best simming racial, but if your priority is in progression raiding then you should consider the the utility of different racials. For example: The Stoneform racial made Dwarf the best pick for Fyrakk the Blazing in the Race to World First Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope.
