Fury Warrior Basic DPS Guide

[@moediggity8797]

Thanks dude. This is helping me tweek out my guy a little bit. Having trouble convincing myself to get rid of bladestorm though, lol. You make a good case for the other talent, but BS has saved my ass over and over again.

[@mendelicus]

Thanks for taking the time to do guides early in the expansion. I appreciate having a reliable source of information in yourself and all the work that must go into that. Many thanks.

[@luciferus74]

This reply is exactly what I expected: it gives confirmation of what I've written. I have nothing else to say, you've done enough.

[@jaw2693]

double time is best because it starts regening the second charge even tho there may be one left. in other words it makes charge on a 10 sec cd on average....even tho its 20 secs, u have 2 charges of the charge, its really good :)

[@Preachgaming]

As you have said, that's 1 particular situation why it might be better compared to every other time impending would be better.

[@collinzaciewski1041]

Rude interruption is only from pummel interrupts, not the aoe one. Heroic leap is a dps increase when used on cooldown as it is free and off the gcd, and glyphing it will be a dps increase (if you do not need to for movement!).

[@Tegardener666]

I see alot of people saying double time is better BUT last I read the second charge doesnt generate rage. I am happy to accept that 2 seconds extra on the CD for extra rage to smash things in the face more.

[@xXHwsSniperTomatoXx]

I really love your DPS guides, it is very useful, it has helped me A LOT! :D. Keep being awesome dude :D.

[@SaremLOL]

slow reply but thought I'd do it anyways, as a dps you should always stand behind the boss/mobs which means that the boss won't be able to parry your attacks.

[@Maqqot]

Love your vids mate, very informative and somewhat hilarious for being a gameplay-guide.. Keep the good work up, you've got yourself a Swedish subscriber! cheers

[@TotalSnivy]

You don't lose berserker rage in Bladestorm, you can use it during it.

[@dextermanus]

Rude interruption does not proc on the disrupting shout or dragon roar interrupts. Only on pummel.

[@ChaosturnMusic]

impending victory fills a global cd if you wish to spare rage for your next colossus smash to fit in as many abilities as possible in the armor debuff

[@OmgGuitarNoobcake]

Dude you are a god send, i went from 40k dps on dummys to 70k just from watching both of your videos. Managed to get into a decent guild and when geared up will be raiding. Thanks bro!

[@WarrgasmTV]

This guide helps so much! Thanks Mike!

[@sjorsborsoborsobors]

The annotations, that's some quality preachy :)

[@fliky90]

Go on Preach you've twisted my arm into subscribing

[@dsadams17]

Between fury and prot, i dont think im ever going to get tired of warriors. Im definitely glad i gave them a second look in cata. Loving prot at the moment, pretty much indestructable in the new 5 mans.

[@sesantakvatro]

Such a nice guide :D Just leveled a warrior and this helped so much thanks!

[@Defiance815]

Its an addon called Pitbill4, can customise the health bar, your resource, a threat bar...basically everything lol. i have it too, its great. can move it anywhere you like on the screen too so its incredibly helpful

[@MrPainlayer69]

Thx for another great guide Mike....Keep it goin man

[@BruceWillis57]

The glyph of raging blow is good regardless. After raging blow use include whirlwind in your rotation cause with that 10% it does more damage than wild strike and heroic strike

[@SC2Binx]

I found Second Wind to be more useful than Impending Victory. First, Impending Victory requires a gcd and 10 rage, for very little damage, on a 30 sec cooldown. Second Wind can heal you without a global and has a chance to generate rage. If there is a point in a dungeon where there is massive party-wide damage going out and the healer is having trouble keeping people above 20%, he can focus more on other players while I am healing up to 35%, thats just one situation, but i cant say Character lim

[@Preachgaming]

I do know that, it isn't the point at all. Enraged regen gives 10% for free SOMETIMES other times it's a huge dps loss. Impending gives 10% EVERY time for very little loss. The extra 10% from ER is over 5 seconds which is pretty much completely useless in a raid. If you are not getting heals for 5 seconds you are probably going to wipe therefore that measly hot won't save you. That's my opinion from raiding all of beta, I understand people don't agree, but for me it's a common sense choice.

[@apoctriforce]

same. double time helps me in dungeons to help out healers when the tank is busy.

[@Nyppaa]

It is, it's increasing your dps and you should choose it.

[@EvilDarkForcesRus]

alot of people seem to choose dragons roar for their level 60 ability but i personaly think shockwave is better for 2 main reasons, firstly although dragon does more damage per use i find it deals at most double a shockwaves hit but can only be used 1/3 as often so overall showave throws out more dps, also dragons roar interupts spellcasting but only for half a second wheres shockwave stuns for 4 secs which helps out alot on most mobs since you can run in lure pull back & stun for each fight

[@SimplyJakeY]

I use double time, purely because if you are using it for efficiency you can actually get a charge off every 10 seconds instead of 12

[@Dancam1990]

"Staggering shite..... Ermm i mean Staggering shout" Made me lol

[@Crumpdiddy]

Mike is too crazy I just don't have the balls to duel him. I mean he's just topping the dps charts!!!!

[@PTaoify]

"Staggering Shite"

[@DavidLeeKersey]

Damn WoW has changed A LOT since the last time I played.

[@MontySource]

Great guide sir! Very helpful!

[@TheNightsdoom]

What about blue sockets? Might have missed it, but what do we put in there preach? great videos man, keep em up

[@jaimexcas]

I miss this version of fury warriors =(

[@trey710]

Second wind is ideal for raid bosses. Impending victory will save your ass with a hi pop server respawn rate while soloing dailies.Stay stocked on the DoD.

[@Nightstalker314]

stormbolt isn't sooo bad. since I only know some numbers from arms: if stormbolt is used on CD it should replace/kick out 1 slam if you're not constantly super lucky with op-procs. that would be 195% additional weapondamage every 30 secs. I don't want to make this a TC masacre, but I guess stormbolt should be a 3-4% damage increase.

[@taa347]

This is true, but second wind still keeps me constantly at 35% or thereabouts. I never have to worry about a skill being on cooldown or something and IV uses rage anyway. I can fight as normal until I'm at 35% and then still not worry because SW will keep me alive with a constant heal of 3% per second rather than victory which is only 15%. So basically I'm trying to say that for leveling purposes: 3% healing per second, no rage cost, and no cooldown > Impending victory.

[@taa347]

So this is all well and good for raiding and what not, but going back to the talents for a moment; would second wind be a better choice for leveling? I don't know its exact mechanics, but it sounds pretty amazing for your every-day fight. On top of that, is there any reason to go bladestorm over dragon? So many people seem to think so.

[@collinzaciewski1041]

I'd have to disagree with you on bloodbath. 1min cd lines up well with DMC trinket, dragon roar, engineer glove enchants if you can use them, and many other trinket ICD's, every third is with skull banner, etc. Also, impending victory is better on demand healing, but it IS a dps loss. Dying is a bigger dps loss, but if there is constant aoe damage, second wind becomes very strong (feng fire phase, elegon burn phase).

[@SC2Binx]

Yeah, I couldn't say more because of the character limit. But i just think it will be more useful in more situations than Impending Victory,especially with bad healers. The required global of Impending Victory vs no global and a chance to generate rage, I feel completely outweighs the heal and damage of Impending victory. And like I said, you might be getting pretty low with a pug healer, I think this will help smooth it out. Nonetheless I love your videos, *brofist*

[@OmgGuitarNoobcake]

The idea behind fury is that you can duel wield.

[@BruceWillis57]

The glyph of raging blow

[@Veishan]

Second Wind is superior when leveling or soloing old content, anywhere where you can find yourself below 35% and still be "stable" In a MoP heroic 5-man or raid, if you are hovering around 35% health as a fury warrior, something is wrong, and a passive 2% heal every few seconds isn't likely going to pull your buns out of the oven when compared to an on-demand 10-20% heal. Bladestorm is suboptimal is because Dragon Roar does more damage PLUS you don't lose 4-5 GCDs doing a pirhouette.

[@wmen48]

Preacher where you put your better weapon? OH or MH? I understand it depends on your rotation and number of wild strikes?

[@VikingGoat318]

So here's a question. What's the point of Juggernaut (12 second cool down) when you can get Double Time (2 charges, each with a 20 second cool down). Wouldn't Double Time create more charges per second (assuming you don't blow through both back to back)?

[@BigpoppaEU]

Some good points, but generally a lot of bad advice. Saying there is no use for double time for a start is flat out bad - Combine double time with safeguard - In a GCD you can safe gaurd to a friendly target and with targetlasttarget macro you can be back on the boss within a second with a nice rage boost - Second wind outways Impending victory all the way - the passive rage generation you get is more useful then a tiny heal that WILL NEVER SAVE YOU - where as second wind can keep you alive

[@Spirelord122]

Second wind is a beautiful thing for High health prot warriors, as they wont be getting most of the kills anyway to benifit from a IP reset

[@THEchildcatcher]

Yeah, this is a Fury Warrior guide though :)

[@Spirelord122]

that's true. I meant from a dual speccing standpoint. besides, how often if you're fighting a small group of adds in a 25m are you still going to be getting last hit, even as a fury

[@XERCE5100]

This help alot thx!!

[@Nokiya]

"Staggering SHITE" spew spit outta my mouth

[@narcotis]

Hey Preach I have a question regarding titans grip, which hand should the better weapon be in? Main or off hand.?

[@taa347]

Well then I guess I'm going with second wind. 3% hp per second seems like it would keep me alive more than impending victory. The problem is when I'm doing a quest and the enemies don't give exp/honor so I can't use victory rush. Makes me feel really squishy.

[@TheSyrx]

If it crits, yes. If it doesn't crit, no.

[@jefftom21]

hey, question... if im more for jsut grinding heroics / challenge modes for the LOLz should i spec into bloodbath for the 1 minute Cd that will line up with bladestorm on trash for big pull downing?

[@MCG55SS]

i prefer 2nd win for in case u get stunned it generates rage and doesn't cost u rage to get a heal so won't hurt ur DPS, Avatar is a great CD XD

[@pandamoniumasylumn]

but if you have impending victory they dont need to give exp/honor you can use it as another attack

[@punchdrunkatheist]

These days it is. Battle Stance gives you a lot of rage with your attacks, whereas Berserker sort of splits the rage between attacks and damage you take. Unless you're somewhere taking a lot of incoming damage, Battle Stance will keep your rage up much better than Berserker.

[@bluelotus57]

What addons are you using. I really want to know, pls answer :) And, very good video it helped me alot.

[@lill87]

I've heard people talking about Single Minded Fury being better than Titan's Grip. I can't seem to find a comparison anywhere. What is your opinion on this, Mike?

[@p3acemakr]

Not to sound dumb. but why not use double time? it effectivly give charge a 10 second cooldown. so why use juggernaut?

[@Kernash666]

second wind works better than impending victory imho.

[@InZomnia365]

OK so my warrior is only lvl 70, so Im guessing it evens out, but my Wild Strikes do way more dmg than Heroic Strike (for the same amount of rage), just as ignoring Overpower all together and just spamming Slam does more DPS for Arms.

[@Nownadda]

ATM SMF is top followed by arms followed by TG. So yea

[@wicious1]

Btw, 1 flaw in your guide. Single-minded fury is better than Titan's grip for dps'ing. you'll do around 10-15k more dps with equal weps in both.

[@CalamityR]

it works on distrupting shout

[@GHO21DOG]

I know rotation ways their is no difference in using x2 1h or x2 2h, appart from prefferation. what gives x2 1h that little bit of edge over 2h right now? is it attack speed and are they the sae to control??

[@MrSchmuders]

Glyph of recklessness DEcreases the crit by 20% and INcreases the duration by 50%... you may have gotten that backwards while you spoke.

[@stienerrecliner]

Mike, you use TG, most data sheets are saying that SMF will net higher dps... can you please let me know what you think?

[@battlefieldbadger3641]

Just an idea (I know this video is old.. I'm not saying its shit) but... I use storm bolt as my final talent as once the collusus smash debuff is on a target that cannot be stunned... hurl a storm bolt at it I normally hit for around 1-1.6mil and obviously with a trinket like evil eye of galakras this can happen every 25 seconds or so! A good part to have in a rotation

[@14TheSilentType]

Well what ilvl are you because with avatar it makes me crit hard as fuck when i burst - and bloodbath gives a LOT of damage if you can dump when you use it.

[@Harrisoma]

Preach what if you use Bloodbath and Whirlwind then follow it up with a Staggering Shout?

[@jaw2693]

Few things preachy the interupting shout doesnt proc the rude interruption, just pummel does :P. secondly @ omegaaffliction,,the main reasin hes saying impending victory is because if ur gona use the heal and sacrifice a global for it, why not have it do damage which impending victory does.. over 20 in heroics.. check out my guide for fury too on my channel its baller but not as awesome as the PREACH! shits sick tho fury is so much fun atm. OH BTW PREACH. double time is best because...cont next

[@CookF]

Anyone know if there is a guide that is a little more basic? I just got resurrected so a free level 80 but havent played in very long. Something on what abilities to use during stadard fighting and stuff.

[@KaidBartlett]

DW 1H's is the best at the moment! :)

[@linkinpark768]

only way to go

[@QuickShotMan]

dooooo theeee update on dps monks now please preach !

[@Rakshasa1986]

While fury is a viable option, arms is typically used for pvp.

[@ProjectUndeadTL]

preach what character do oyu play as your main nowadays? and do you still play on TN? if you do it would mean so much just to do a dungeon with you , whether you will or not please /w in game or somin fátal

[@xayferz9566]

I saw you use Battle stance as fury. Is that better to use than Berserker?

[@DavidRECE]

What stance should a fury warrior be in?

[@Velanestar]

bloodbath + blade storm = best aoe dps ive ever seen lol

[@Velanestar]

well, reckless, zerk rage, blood bath, and blade storm = best aoe dps ever

[@Leono413]

Is it possible that in 5.3, strength is now more important than crit, or is crit still higher than strength?

[@AWizzyWannaBe]

I'll have to look for some good ones. After all i'm only level 60 pandaren warrior..

[@darkstrikelvl80]

hey guys PLEASE answer my warrior is harcore pvp, mostly ARENAS, what spec should i go fury or arms? and why? please answer needhelp would appreciate

[@CalamityR]

as of now, SMF is better than TG. But can anyone enlighten me why? I have been searching around for it a long time, not being able to find a decent answer.

[@SkoirFPV]

just laughed my arse off when he said Staggering shite.

[@Kiwani]

bladestorm is stronger for fury because it deals damage from both weapons.

[@Mathew2706]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong

[@Patroiten]

You forgot the "Cleave, wild strike" macro :)

[@xIKieeranIx]

Nice preach could you do hunter next :P

[@SporeTres]

I prefer Double Time for charging back to back.

[@Irn_BruYT]

whats the addon telling you what procs are up?

[@ZureasGaming]

What kind of health bar add on is that?

[@Nightstalker314]

for arms

[@jonathantillander9839]

if wild strike is so shitty, then why not use heroic strike instead of it?

[@AWizzyWannaBe]

Where do you get the glyphs?

[@wongster41]

Do you have any macros you recommend for a PVE fury warrior?

[@filetofish100]

I feel like this guy is yelling at me the whole time.

[@Wavorn100]

Hey my worgen fury warrior has a legion turban too. :D

[@Preachgaming]

I know where i got that it is bad, it's even in your post. It's worse dps, you even say so yourself.

[@e.egebasay9011]

fire mages and enhancement shamans are currently best aoe dps makers. fire is better in higher gear but enha also hits single target really good in higher gear levels. unholy dk is a lot of fun but sucks at aoe, on the other hand Frost dk does hell of aoe damage but it's kinda boring if you dont like spamming same spell over and over again.(howling blast) and also enha shaman and fire mage overtakes frost dk very hard in the terms of DPS but death knights have great utilities for your raid.
