Fury Warrior leveling guide
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.
