Fury rotationFollow

so i tried out fury for the first time a couple days ago, and lets just say that terribad doesnt begin to describe how bad i did. i know its not my gear cuz i was around 3600ap, 22%crit and around 10%hit. it was the fact that i know NOTHING about fury. so i was wondering if you guys could post your spec and more importantly your rotation. also anything else i should know. thanks in advance :D

PS i tried looking thru the 70 pve dps guide but that hasnt been updated for wotlk. if it is still valid tho please let me know :)

see I dont understand this, I was doing 1400 dps at lvl 70. Why has dps not gonr up in the 10 levels I have just done?

Rotation should be

Hey lolism, In rotation you linked(which is great btw) you didn't show the use of execute. I'm leveling my fury warrior(72) and I tend to use it to finish people off. Although, that is solo is it viable to use while in a raid setting, or does it just gimp your damage?

From what i read, and dont quote me on this, Is that you should keep up your normal rotation and use execute as a rage dump. because i think it will actually lower your DPS to just execute spam at 20%. i will find the original post with that information in it though for, just to be sure.


In my first post the link has all the information about executing.

I find that I don't have a set rotation when I'm dpsing as fury, so I'm sure my dps could go up. I did three heroics last night as fury and came out of all three with over 2.6k dps for each. I was having a bit of a dps contest with a dual wielding DK (he outgeared me) who averaged around 3k dps and outdamaged me on two of the heroics. Was a bit of epeen waggling going on but it was all in good fun.

Anyway, what I tend to do is BT soon as I get rage, then WW. I'll look at my rage and if I have enough to BT again but not more rage I'll wait until BT is ready to use again. If I have a lot of rage, I'll throw in some Heroic Strikes. Also, I miss a lot of Bloodsurge procs but I try to hit them as much as I can.

One big tip which I found was dramatically increasing my dps was to use all my CDs soon as they were available unless we were very close to a boss, then I'd save them for a boss. My typical BT crit was over 4k but with Blood Frenzy, Death Wish, and trinkets I was shooting that number to well over 7k for crits. So that's quite a substantial dps increase.

On bosses I found myself typically doing well over 3k damage. If there were adds, like the second boss in heroic UK, I found myself doing over 4k damage.

My stats in Berserker Stance, unbuffed, are 3.6k attack power, 31.2% crit, 333 hit, and 21 expertise.

If WW and BT are on CD, you don't have a Bloodsurge proc to use, and the target is above 20% health, then all you can do is queue up a Heroic strike, sit back and wait ;-) You may want to use these lulls to refresh things like Battle Shout/commanding shout/demo shout, trinkets if off cooldown, sunders if you don't have a warrior MT, etc, etc ... lots to do .. however sometimes, for a second or 2, there IS simply nothing to do, in which case yes, Auto-Attacks is your next option.

My current fury rotation is BT > WW , if Bloodsurge procs off one of these, Slam, if not, Heroic strike, if it procs off that, slam.. ect. Really simple XD. If im clearing trash i just use cleave and WW for group dmg.

So basically

BT
if BS procs - Slam
WW
if BS procs - slam
Heroic Strike
if BS procs - Slam

Rinse, repeat and enjoy :P

Also, to the OP about "anything else i should know" Try to get that crit rating above 29%, with more chance to crit, you have more chance that Bloodsurge will proc, Which will push Dmg output up if you hit that free slam in time. :P

This seems puzzling to me as well. I recently (3 weeks ago) switched my spec from Prot to fury and have been building my gear since. Ive only hit a handful of instances since Im really not high enough on dps but yesterday I went to heroic Nerob and we easily hitting 1600 dps through the whole instance. Now my gear is still in its infancy although I did upgrade to the Titanium helm and the Destroyer but otherwise its quest and 1 or two epics. I still sport 3 greens and the rest blue and socket everything with +str. To be honest, my rotation is whatever comes off CD. Ill usually intercept then WW, BT and use slam whenever its up because my warrior is so rage starved that I get impatient, but I dont seem to have issues keeping my dps up past 1500 so far. It can only get better with gear.

A little NUB example of my Fury inexperience.... I farmed mats for 1 titanium destoyer and had plenty of cash for another weapon, so what do you think I spent in on... wrong, I bought another Destroyer! NUUUBBBBB!!!!!! I didnt know! No laughing please.
