WoW Forever Warrior Stat Priority
Wowhead published Forever stat guides for Arms and Fury on 29 Oct. They wrote them while the beta was capped at 30, so these level 60 orders are their projection [Unconfirmed]. No stat weights are published. Tested level 60 data: Not yet published, updated at launch.
Arms (Wowhead, 29 Oct)
| Step | Stat |
|---|---|
| 1 | Hit, up to 8% (Arms gets no hit from talents, so it all comes from gear) |
| 2 | Expertise, up to 6.5% (new Forever stat that stops dodges and parries) |
| 3 | Critical Strike |
| 4 | Strength |
| 5 | Agility |
| 6 | Haste |
| 7 | Hit past 8% |
Wowhead's rule of thumb for Arms: an item with about 1.5 times more Agility than Strength usually wins.
Fury (Wowhead, 29 Oct)
| Step | Stat |
|---|---|
| 1 | Weapon Skill, up to 305 (rare on gear, and Forever removed the weapon skill racials) |
| 2 | Hit, up to 9% |
| 3 | Critical Strike |
| 4 | Strength |
| 5 | Agility |
| 6 | Stamina |
The two guides give slightly different hit numbers (8% for Arms, 9% for Fury, and the Fury guide also says 305 weapon skill lowers the cap from 8% to 6%). We show each as Wowhead wrote it until launch testing settles it [Unconfirmed].
What moves it in Forever
- Crit feeds Rage: crits with basic attacks now give 100% more Rage (Blizzard, 1 Oct, up from 75%).
- Arms crit value: Rend and Deep Wounds can now crit, and Rend scales better with Attack Power (Wowhead).
- Fury hit: Heroic Strike no longer raises off-hand hit chance (Blizzard), and Dual Wield Specialization was fixed to boost only the off-hand. Furious Precision adds off-hand hit (Wowhead). Hit is harder to reach, so it stays first.
- Haste is rare. Skyborne's 2% haste is one of the few sources, and Wowhead calls it "a rare stat" for Fury.
