WoW Forever Fury Warrior Leveling Guide
Tooltips: Wowhead Forever DB, exact matches only (build 70532, 28 Oct).
Source: Wowhead's Fury leveling guide, updated 29 Oct during the level 30 beta. Talent picks past 30 are their plan, not tested in-game [Unconfirmed]. Tested level 60 data: Not yet published, updated at launch.
Fury is a much better leveling spec in Forever than it was in Classic. The new Gore Drinker talent gives it real self-healing, and Victory Rush (new, trained at 20) lets you keep fighting without stopping to eat. The catch is that it needs two decent weapons and hit is scarce early, so rage can feel patchy until your gear catches up.
Pros and cons
| Good | Not so good |
|---|---|
| Strong sustain from Gore Drinker | Needs a lot of talent points before it clicks |
| Very good damage against two mobs | Leans heavily on gear |
| Can tank dungeons and group content | Asks a bit more of you than simpler specs |
Talent path (16 Arms / 35 Fury at 60)
| Levels | Talents |
|---|---|
| 10–19 | Cruelty 5/5, Unbridled Wrath 5/5 |
| 20–30 | Furious Precision 3/3, Piercing Howl, Lingering Rage 1, Dual Wield Specialization 5/5, Death Wish |
| 31–43 | Enrage 5/5, Gore Drinker 2/2 (now row 5 and needs Blood Craze 3/3, which Wowhead's path doesn't list, so budget 3 points for it (Blizzard, 2 Nov)), Flurry 3/3 (cut to 3 ranks on 2 Nov, freeing 2 points; Blizzard also added the 2-point row 6 Improved Whirlwind), Bloodthirst at 40, which now needs Death Wish (Blizzard, 2 Nov) |
| 44–53 | Arms: Deflection 5/5, Improved Rend 3/3, Improved Overpower 2/2 |
| 54–60 | Improved Tactical Mastery 3/3 (cut from 5 ranks (Blizzard, 2 Nov), freeing 2 more points), Anger Management, Improved Berserker Rage 1 |
The idea is to get Gore Drinker and Bloodthirst early, finish Flurry, then dip into Arms for Deflection (parry cuts downtime) and the Battle Stance upgrades. See Warrior talents for the full trees.
What to train
| Must train | Ranks |
|---|---|
| Battle Shout | All |
| Rend | All |
| Overpower | All |
| Pummel | Rank 1 only |
| Can skip to save gold | Ranks to skip |
|---|---|
| Mocking Blow | 2–5 |
| Cleave | 2–5 |
| Slam | All |
| Thunder Clap | 3–6 |
Leveling rotation
One mob: Charge in, Bloodthirst on cooldown, Victory Rush when it lights up, Overpower, then Bloodrage or Berserker Rage if Gore Drinker isn't active. Follow with Demoralizing Shout, Whirlwind, and Rend only if the mob will live long enough. Finish with Execute if you're under 20 Rage.
A pack: Charge, Bloodthirst, Overpower, Bloodrage or Berserker Rage (without Gore Drinker up), Demoralizing Shout, Whirlwind, Victory Rush, and Cleave once you're over 60 Rage.
Wowhead's first step in both lists is to keep a debuff up on the target, but its name didn't load on their page, so we've left it out [Unconfirmed].
Professions, camp buffs and Legacy points
| Pick | Why |
|---|---|
| Mining + Blacksmithing | Forever adds stronger low-level crafts such as Gemmed Copper Boots, plus sharpening stones and weightstones |
 Skinning |
Easy to level and good gold for training and your mount |
| Camp Chair | Flat 2% crit, more Flurry uptime and rage |
| Camp Tent | Lots of rested XP, especially later |
| Well Rested (Legacy) | Best if you play in short bursts |
| Thrill of Adventure (Legacy) | Extra health regen for regular players |
Wowhead also recommends the new cooking foods (5% more kill XP), with Longjaw Mud Snapper as an early pick that adds 10 attack power. See Warrior professions.
Tips
- Keep fighting as you travel; Fury is at its best on one or two mobs.
- Piercing Howl and Intimidating Shout are your escape buttons when a pull goes wrong.
- Fit dungeons into your route for weapon quest rewards. Cleave-heavy dungeon pulls suit Fury well.
For a level 60 Fury map built on the 2 Nov talents, open the Fury raid DPS preset [Unconfirmed]. Plan your levelling points in the Warrior talent calculator, then share the link with your group.
