Fury currently is the highest represented spec in 3s above 2.1… and 2.2… and 2.3… and 2.4. It’s strong in 2s as well. The only dps spec with higher rep is outlaw above 2.1. Past that, the sample size starts to fall off to be meaningful.
It takes two seconds to google rankings. The ladder is a VERY small portion of that. Yes, there are better specs, but acting like fury is weak now is just ridiculous.
As a lock (especially aff) you don’t. You get sat on by the warrior 90% of the time and eventually die because you can’t put out any real pressure because you get sat the entire match.
But the tar trap isn’t really going to help the healer run around pillars and get away to much if he has hamstring on him. the war and healer will both have the same 50 percent snare. so the war should still be able to stick on the healer i would think.
i’m at work rn, wowhead said they dropped.
how’s it looking kid?
Waiting for them to update it.
Yeah I’m not the best player in the world by far but it’s literally every match, some ape Fury Warrior spamming his abilities until the match ends
I honestly don’t know how anyone thinks this season is any good, I’ve never seen participation seem so low in all my years playing. Like I said I’m no gladiator but seems way too difficult to find a decent partner and specs like Fury just put the nail in the coffin for me. They have mindless damage with no setup, unlimited mobility, great utility and self-healing. I’m sorry, one of the weaker 2’s specs in the game? They’re literally unkiteable and throw in dispels, dear lord. God forbid I use Casting Circle he’ll just reflect my UA or I’ll spend so much time trying to fake cast his 12sec interrupt that I’ll just fall over. Or maybe he’ll just stun me. What a great game
I’d like some of what you’re smoking my friend.
If you’re not running some weenie meta comp like Rogue/Mage it is quite literally the most unbearable spec to play against, other than Demo Lock IMO. But Rogues are another level of broken. But at LEAST they track DRs, there is some setup, etc. Fury Warrior is literally the easiest PVP spec I’ve seen in modern WoW, what an absolute pain to play against. So close to unsubscribing it’s like torture every 2s match is against one with a healer lol
I tried to give this game’s PVP a chance again but it’s the same old song and dance. Seriously who enjoys this meta?
Fury has only been this good since season 3 started and it’s weaker now than it was pre-banner nerfs. Fury has consistent pressure with decent healing but outside of that their defensives are pretty garbo. If you think fury is the easiest pvp spec in the game, go play MM and BM because they are just as easy if not easier.
If the warrior is with a healer always assume storm bolt, if it’s double dps they will take impending. As a hunter just pop turtle once banner and reck is up and you’ve shut their burst down for 2 minutes. If you see that engaged regen is up, you need to CC the hell out of the warrior so they can’t get bloodthirst off. It’s imperative you peel your healer during a fury warrior’s go because he’ll get his first stack of slaughterhouse up then burst and immediately get the second stack up with big damage. If the warrior doesn’t have blood rage, you can easily get him in the snare trap.
Or just play with a rogue because on top all the ludicrous CC rogues have, they also have a disarm and if you play it right you can get a warrior to burn trinket then disarm during his go.
I play 2’s almost exclusively, which is dominated by Rogues. Fury warriors cannot do anything into Rogue.
My post and link are about 2’s, not 3’s. As another poster correctly pointed out, Fury cannot do anything into double DPS where one of them is Rogue, because their defensives aren’t up to snuff. The 2’s ladder is dominated by Rogue. Right now the number 2 spot is held by a fury Warrior, but the next one is at rank 87. There are 17 Rogues between them.
Can you put nerf rogues somewhere in the essay for me plz 
Fury is still a very good 2s spec. Check Ludu’s for 2s representation, they are a very dominate spec and in three of the top comps.
Just because rogue mage beats them doesn’t make them suck. Rogue mage beats like everyone, they are toxic AF.
I’ll also add your experience with fury is vastly different as resto druid. You are the one healer they just can’t hold W down and press their 2 buttons and do oppressive damage to.
And above 2.1, fury is second overall for rep for dps. Looking at the very top and acting like it’s the entire ladder is the problem. Yes, rogues are broken, but that doesn’t mean fury is a literal noob check as you and the other poster suggested. How can it be a noob check when they have distribution on the entire ladder? Makes so sense.
a spec so one dimensional that it relies entirely on connecting to something for 20+ seconds without being kited, lined or controlled
it’s a complete noobcheck because bad players dont use CC or position properly, that’s why as you go up the ladder fury is about 1/10th the population of rogue
it’s also why this thread is being made by a 1400 warlock
And yet the spec is still #2 overall above 2.1 for rep. Saying it’s a noob check implies it falls off at 1600. It doesn’t. While CDs are up, peeling them even with CC is difficult. That’s partially why rogue rep is as high as it is. They don’t have a good counter AND they counter fury. Take rogues out of the equation and there would be a ton of fury warriors higher up.
Warrior is popular and versatile.
Yes, I’d say that it falls off somewhere around 2100.
when 2100 is the cutoff to getting the final upgrade of gear that isn’t a good bar for noob-cutoff
it isn’t, most comps and classes have the ability to shut it down via avoiding it, weening it enough to be able to heal through what damage it does pull off, or shutting it down completely altogether
comps like that are hunters, rogues, warlocks, mages, ferals
the only class that can reasonably complain about fury warrior is DK and that’s kind of how blizzard wants DKs to feel
rogues are just crazy regardless of warrior or no warrior, prior to the armor nerfs warlock DK and monk were good into outlaw in 2v2, not necessarily a counter, but a lot better than the other classes felt
warrior is held back by the simple rule that it has to attack one target, through healing, not die in the process and not have the target ever break away from it while every CC is thrown into it for the majority of the match
Yea. Above 1900, overall, fury is the highest repped spec for dps. Rogue is highest for dps classes.
Sort of. It’s still the 2nd highest above 2.1 for all specs. Past 2.2 it falls off, but that’s a bunch of specs as well. Outlaw just takes over.
It’s week two of the season. But please, go off.
I’m playing it at 2.1 mmr right now and you’re arguing with me about it. This is weird. Fury is difficult to peel. Even using trackers net and diamond ice, they still have huge uptime depending on what healer I’m playing with. Some fair better then others.
Again, the only point I’m trying to argue is that fury isn’t a noob check. You’re going to be facing them at every bracket. There is a TON of them lower on the ladder, but they still have normal distribution at the top. Regardless of what you’re playing, you still are going to be dealing with them.
I just hate the elitist attitude on the forums at times. Fury is in a good spot right now and in good hands, even in 2s, is tough to beat. I’d rather face most rogues comps, outside of outlaw, then face fury/sham or fury/pali.
Best strategy ive had success with against fury warriors in 2s is not playing 2s. Works every single time.
and in the screenshot i posted earlier, you can see that there’s two warriors in the top 100 in week two of the season, one of which is arms
because the class isn’t actually good in 2s, though it’s good enough to get your duelist upgrade and justify never stepping back into the bracket
yeah maybe if the people walk around in the open within range of you during reck, cc won’t mean much
fight a team that utilizes line, range, and both people’s ccs to guarantee that you aren’t playing the game inside of a relevant window
let’s not forget that warrior players could’ve gotten a weapon from vault, bought a weapon and steamrolled harder than they normally would given the armor nerfs of early season
go ahead and look at last season’s ladder to see fury warrior representation on the high end and you’ll start to see that 2100 ( early season or not) isn’t a good bar to judge the spec’s strength
maybe if you’re playing a mediocre comp into a fury warrior paired with a druid or an hpal, it’s tough to beat
like kennie said, warriors are a popular pick. it feels good to connect to something and watch it die, in a game where every class (even warriors to an extent) rely on burst CDs, face people that deliberately attempt to frustrate and shut you down and the class is no longer fun, nor effective
Even ludos labs today was like “yeah fury is a bit out of control”
Oof ret looking rough in 2s. Why must I punish myself?
