Fury Warrior DPS Mythic+ Tips - The War Within (11.0.5) (2024)

Balanced Mythic+ Talent Build — SlayerHeavy Multitarget Mythic+ Talent Build — Mountain Thane

This build is recommended for any level of Mythic+, focusing on burst AoE damage while still bringing a strong amount of priority damage during cooldowns.

The reason for going Slayer over Mountain Thane is significantly faster burst damage during cooldowns, as well as a generally smoother rotation allowing more freedom to focus on other mechanics.

Mythic+ builds are very tight on talent points, so while there are a few changes that can be made to suit personalpreference, they all come at a noticeable loss in other areas:

• Overwhelming Rage can be reduced to a single point with very little loss, since Rage pooling is not as important to multitarget builds.
• Second Wind or Bounding Stride are the main talent swaps, though both are useful in their own right. If you find yourself not using Storm Bolt particularly often due to the more frequent availability of Shockwave, it and Leeching Strikes may also be dropped.
• Intimidating Shout is the main pick for many players, offering more Crowd Control, though it is rarely needed thanks to the low cooldown on Shockwave via Rumbling Earth.
• Honed Reflexes allows several utility abilities to be used slightly more often, though the amount is so small, it is often difficult to ascertain whether it will have any value at all.
• Fast Footwork and Intervene are common picks for increased mobility.
• Seismic Reverberation is a technical damage increase, but Whirlwind contributes so little damage that it is not really worth the talent point.
• Uproar is an almost even trade with Armored to the Teeth in multitarget, though reducing priority damage without any real upside.
• Endurance Training is very nice but also very expensive to take in terms of lost damage due to competing against powerful Tier 3 talents.

This build is recommended for higher levels of Mythic+, focusing on much greater sustained multitarget, with nearly equal single target to Slayer multitarget builds.

The reason for going Mountain Thane over Slayer is increased raw multitarget damage and survivability, though it does require sustained combat to really show its value. For this reason, lower keys in which very large pulls are made and adds are burst down quickly may not be best suited for Mountain Thane.

Mythic+ builds are already tight on talent points, and Mountain Thane is even more so due to using Thunder Clap, so while there are a few changes that can be made to suit personal personalpreference, they all come at a noticeable loss in other areas:

• Overwhelming Rage can be reduced to a single point with very little loss, since Rage pooling is not as important to multitarget builds.
• Crackling Thunder does not provide any direct damage and, therefore, can be dropped if necessary, though the increased range is very useful in ensuring spread-out groups are all hit.
• Leeching Strikes and Storm Bolt may both be dropped in order to take Intervene, though the other point also needs to be put back into the first tier of talents.
• Intimidating Shout is the main pick for many players, offering more Crowd Control, though it is rarely needed thanks to the low cooldown on Shockwave via Rumbling Earth.
• Honed Reflexes allows several utility abilities to be used slightly more often, though the amount is so small, it is often difficult to ascertain whether it will have any value at all.
• Fast Footwork and Intervene are common picks for increased mobility.
• Seismic Reverberation is a technical damage increase, but Whirlwind contributes so little damage that it is not really worth the talent point.
• Uproar is an almost even trade with Armored to the Teeth in multitarget, though reducing priority damage without any real upside.
• Endurance Training is very nice but also very expensive to take in terms of lost damage due to competing against powerful Tier 3 talents.

Interrupts, Stuns, Stops, and SlowsOther Utility

Pummel is the Warrior version of kick, frequently used in Mythic+to stop enemy casts for the benefit of the group and especially the tank.Because it is sometimes necessary to interrupt targets other than the one youare actively attacking, it is highly recommended to use a focus ormouseover macro.

Slayer has the unique ability to use Pummel during Bladestorm,which normally cannot be done.

• /cast [@focus,exists,nodead][@mouseover,exists,nodead] [] Interrupt

This macro will kick your focus target if you have one, mouseover if you haveno Focus target, and your primary target if you have neither of those.

To quickly set a focus target in hectic scenarios, we also recommend aFocus Mouseover macro.

• /focus [@mouseover]

Make sure that your UI shows your Focus Target's casts clearly so that youare always able to kick it on cooldown or in coordination with the rest of yourgroup.

Not technically an interrupt, Spell Reflection is an incrediblypowerful personal tool, which can deflect or reflect the damage and negativeeffect of many enemy spells, but only when they are cast on the Warrior.

Storm Bolt and Shockwave are single and multitarget stuns,often called "stops" due to their use in stopping enemy actions. Easier totalent into than the past; these are core talents in any Mythic+ build.

Intimidating Shout is another AoE stop, fearing targets insteadof stunning them. This has several limitations, causing targets to run awayand potentially call allies, as well as some targets being immune to thecondition outright. It is also limited to five targets, so there are timeswhen it may not necessarily stop all of the enemies you want it to. Becauseof this, the talent is not always taken in Mythic+ builds, but can be added asdesired.

Piercing Howl and Crackling Thunder can both be used as AoEslows, though this is not something that is regularly needed in most content. Hamstring is the non-talented, single-target alternative, which istypically enough to cover any slowing needs.

Battle Shout increases the damage output of all melee classes andHunters by 5% and should always be active.

Rallying Cry is a group-wide defensive cooldown, useful in helpingyourself or allies survive incoming damage.

Berserker Rage and Berserker Shout removes fear anddisorient effects, which are not very common in the modern game. The shoutversion applies to allies but suffers several limitations: requiring an extratalent point, having a very limited range that often misses casters, and onlyable to be used reactively after the fear effect has been applied rather thanpre-emptively immuning it. As a result, it is rarely used.

Note that it is early days and that this section will be far more fleshed out as the Season progresses and cool tricks and tips are found.

• Warriors can use Heroic Leap to avoid having to stand in Grasping Blood at all, though the timing is very tight. A muchmore reliable strategy is to leap into the blood and then use Storm Bolt orShockwave on the newly formed mob to break themselves out once the pull hasended.

• Several targeted and ground effect spells can be reflected, including Poison Bolt and Web Bolt.

• Splice can be reflected, while Umbral Weave will bedeflected and prevent the root. It is typically better to reflect Splice, butbecause it is cast twice per cycle, the timing is very tight: try to pre-castSpell Reflect just before the first Splice is cast in order for the cooldownto be available again before the second.

• Several targeted and ground effect spells can be reflected, including Grimweave Blast, Umbral Weave, Web Bolt, Void Rush, and Poison Bolt.

Affix: AscendantAffix: DevourAffix: OblivionAffix: Voidbound

Shockwave with Rumbling Earth should be availablefrequently enough to handle this mechanic, with backup Pummel or Storm Bolt as needed. Intimidating Shout can be taken as well,but should not be necessary and may not reliably affect the correct targets inlarger pulls.

Bitter Immunity will remove the debuff, though it is not a greatstrategy as the affix happens much more frequently than the cooldown allows,which means healers will still need a plan to cover the other sets. This oftenresults in holding the cooldown for emergencies that rarely ever come,effectively wasting the talent point. Instead, simply using Impending Victory will help reduce the healing burden enough toquickly remove the debuff.

Smart use of Charge and Heroic Leap can help reach Shattered Essence crystals more quickly, but proper positioning shouldbe all that is needed.

There's no particular trick here; simply kill the mob as quickly aspossible to gain its buff!
