Fury Warrior leveling guide

WotLK ClassicLevel 70-80Melee DPS

Fury is the Warrior spec with the most damage in Northrend once your weapons are good. Titan’s Grip lets you wield two two-handed weapons, Bloodthirst heals you with every use, and Bloodsurge turns Slam into a free instant hit. Whirlwind and Cleave make groups of weaker enemies fall together.

Strengths and weaknesses

  • Very high damage with Titan’s Grip, Bloodthirst and Whirlwind.
  • Bloodthirst and Victory Rush keep your health up without eating.
  • Rampage adds critical strike chance for you and your group.
  • Takes more damage than Arms, and two weak weapons hurt your damage badly.
