Fury Warrior Gearing Guide

Season 2 Tier Set

There has been a change of direction with Tier Set bonuses going into Season 2. All specs of the same role (Tank/Healer/Melee/Ranged) have a similar mechanic in their 2 set bonuses. For melee this is called “Winning Streak”.

• (2) Set Bonus: Your spells and abilities have a chance to activate a Winning Streak! increasing the damage of your Rampage by 2%, stacking up to 10 times. Rampage has a 15% chance to remove Winning Streak!
• (4) Set Bonus: When you gain a stack of Winning Streak! you have an even chance to cause either of the following bonuses:
• Your next Bloodthirst deals 15% increased damage and has 25% increased Critical Strike chance
• Your next Raging Blow deals 15% increased damage and generates 2 additional Rage

Our tier set has no bearing on our rotation. As such, you needn’t necessarily track the individual 4 set bonus procs if you don’t want to.

You should still prioritise the gear you use by running a sim for your character, but the lists below will give you a good idea of what items are considered good for Fury Warrior, and help you target the right content for each piece of loot.

• Overall
• Raiding
• Mythic+

Good trinkets for Fury Warrior are quite sparse in this tier. As far as Mythic+ is concerned there are pretty much no good trinkets available at all which is incredibly inconvenient when looking to farm new trinkets. Assuming you already have it, you may end up using Treacherous Transmitter from Nerub’ar Palace for a while before being able to upgrade.

There are 3 trinkets that stand out in general:

• Eye of Kezan - This trinket ramps up primary stat over time. Once at max stacks, each successive proc deals damage instead
• House of Cards - The only 1.5m trinket available this season. Strong for obvious reasons
• Suspicious Energy Drink - Mastery proc with a decently high uptime. Will be frustrating to try and get considering it’s only available in Delves

Both raid trinkets (Eye of Kezan & House of Cards) will be highly contested in raid so you may have to make do with some inferior trinkets for a while. As always, continually sim your character to see which trinkets are decent upgrades if you can’t obtain your best ones immediately.

Patch 11.1 keeps overall embellishments the same as the previous patch. As such, the usual culprits are still strong. For this patch you will be looking to use 2 of the following embellishment:

• Duskthread Lining (Armor only) - Grants Versatility rating while above 80% HP

Other strong options are:

• Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension (Weapon only) - Grants the Darkmoon Card: Ascension effect to a crafted weapon
• Writhing Armor Banding (Armor only) - Increases the effect of Nerubian embellishment effects

These 2 are only worth using together. It isn’t a bad idea to craft a weapon as it gives access to a weapon just shy of fully upgraded Myth track item level which is a big damage increase in most cases. The downside being it requires 2 sparks alone to craft the weapon plus 1 more for the Writhing Armor Banding effect on another crafted piece.

It is best to take your own circumstances into account when deciding what to craft early on. I.e. how easy will it be for you to potentially get access to any kind of Myth track weapon.

Cyrce’s Circlet

Patch 11.0.7 brings a new ring, Cyrce’s Circlet, that can be acquired from patch launch and have its item level upgraded over time. Working similarly to the Onyx Annulet from Dragonflight, this ring works by socketing certain new gems into it which decide the effects.

The gems you will be aiming for are:

• Thunderlord’s Crackling Citrine
• Fathomdweller’s Runed Citrine
• Legendary Skipper’s Citrine

NOTE: This ring will begin at item level 639, already making it competitive to begin with, and will scale all the way to 658 making it the strongest ring in the game. This will be irreplaceable until quite deep into Season 2 assuming no changes are made.

This ring remains strong as we head into 11.1. Highly likely to be adjusted.
