Fury Warrior

Fury Warrior puts 31 points into Fury and 20 points into Arms by level 60, with no respec on the way.

Key talents: Spearing Strike at 30.

Bloodthirst is left out on purpose: in our sim it does less for leveling than the same points spent elsewhere.

By our sim, this build gets you from 10 to 60 in about 18% less time than playing with no talents.

At level 40 most of your ability damage comes from Slam (49%), Deep Wounds (17%) and Spearing Strike (14%).

Each talent gets a tier for how much it helps this build level, by our sim: S best, A strong, B solid, C small, Filler needed to reach deeper talents.

What our sim found levels best at this level with this build: DoTs once per mob, cooldowns on cooldown, and the rest on your best filler. Auto attacks are always on, so they are not listed.

Strength > Stamina > Attack power > Agility > Spirit

• Strength1.00
• Stamina0.75
• Attack power0.50
• Agility0.33
• Spirit0.08

1% crit is worth about 6 Strength. 1% hit is worth about 5 Strength.

Stat values like Pawn: point for point, your best stat is 1.00 and the rest are worth that share of it. MP5 is mana regen per 5 seconds, as item tooltips show it. Your own gear shifts these: the Character page works them out for you.

• This build assumes a two-handed axe. Talents for other weapon types are skipped.
• Put Rend on each mob once: most mobs die before it needs refreshing.
• At level 40, for the same item budget, Strength helps most, then attack power. Look for gear with those first.
• Some points (Deflection, Improved Charge and Booming Voice and others) are filler to reach the next tier; they do little for leveling on their own.

How this is made: a typical character at each level (Classic-like stats, quest greens for gear) pulling same-level mobs one at a time, with downtime counted. It is an early version, refined as players’ combat logs measure what each talent really does. Weapon assumed: two-handed axe.
