Roll Fury?

Classes Warrior

I am considering rolling Fury. I play a lot of m+, and fury looks pretty legit. My question is, how is the play style? I want something engaging and not boring.

I find fury very fun. It’s a very fast paced spec with there always being a button to press. It’s very quick and easy to switch targets if needed without losing any DPS. Most of the AOE damage will be between whirlwind, which basically cleaves all your abilities and bladestorm
 which is bladestorm.

It will probably be difficult to pug, as fury suffers from the “being a melee class that’s not a rogue or WW monk” stigma. If you have a group to run with though, fury is very powerful

Fury is an incredibly engaging spec in M+. It’s trademark has always been that there are no lulls - it is almost pure sustain and as such means you are going hard non-stop. The Signet legendary also means you get to inject some powerful AOE burst into the non-stop sustained damage every minute as well.

You can call Fury a lot of things but not boring, especially not in a sustained AOE environment which it was made for.

If you enjoy light up simulator, fury is for you.

Nah, that’s not even close. Yeah you’ll have a lot of buttons flash, doesn’t mean you hit em right away. Unless it’s rampage that is.
Playing warrior is like playing a piano. Arms is like playing Carl Orff’s “O Fortuna,” and Fury is like playing “Flight Of The Bumblebee” by Rimsky-Korsakov.

I respect you my friend, there is a small amount of priority; but fury is just a button mash, there is really nothing to it. This isnt any sort of harsh criticism or an insult to the spec, its just how it plays.

I’ll reply on my actual character. Just to clarify, I think fury is marginally fun to play for OP. I just mean the rotation isnt very fulfilling if things like that matter to you. Your abilities are mashed and then you press rampage, aoe throws in one more button and adds a bit more depth to it.

Personally my opinion. I just find fury to be a bit too spammy for my taste.

If you’d rather roll arms, go for it. The difference between the two is pretty small.

If you want to join the horde of bad players on this forum crying about having to spam whirlwind and never being enraged, sure, mash away.

That’s not me, but you can assume away. If you want to believe fury is a beautiful symphony of rhythm and complexity, you can go ahead and live in that world atop your high horse.

Fury can be fun, but fury is simple. Let’s not pretend it’s not the truth.

If you disagree with me, that’s the wonderful thing about opinions.

Of course it’s not you, I said if you want to join the horde, not that you were in the horde. Pay attention. You’ve never played Fury in any sort of actual content, it’d be highly inappropriate to say you were bad at it.

Every spec is simple. Denigrating Fury down to button mashing is simply something that screams, “Ah, he doesn’t understand the spec. He would struggle heavily with enrage uptime if he tried to play it.” Your follow-up comments go along a very common theme that you see in people who don’t get it, where they’re confused by the fact that all roads eventually lead you to Rampage.

These forums always turn into these.

OP the spec is fine and can be fun. It’s simple, in my opinion, despite what people who want to make things personal want to believe.

Edit: Now that I have the time to respond properly, I’ll will say youre right, I havent played much fury this expansion to build such a passionate opinion such as yours. I use my personal experience in BFA when I played it often in high keys; the spec didnt offer much in terms of mastery and didnt take long to fully understand the min max of the spec. Albeit BFA, this is my opinion. If it 100% plays differently now, well then I’m wrong, but looking and reading up because i might swap to it full time, it looks and feels like it plays the exact same. Part two of this is a friend who never played wow picked up fury in a mythic nyalotha in a matter of weeks. Just to further reinforce my thoughts on the spec.

I think you’re right, wow isnt a complex game, so relative to the other specs in the game, I would place fury on the lower end of difficulty and skill cap. I think Fury’s rotational depth is its weakness. Saying it’s a button mash may be a bit disingenuous, but it isn’t far from the truth; it’s a few buttons you press when they light up and a few buttons you press in between.

I’m on my phone so I’m sure theres points I missed. The symphony comment was in regards to the piano comment above, the high horse comment was in regards to ‘bad ppl on here’.

I’m not a career warrior, but I have played wow since the beginning. I’ve gotten plenty of CEs on other dps classes and played almost every class or spec in the game at least once to comfortably feel this way about fury.

I assume this is a joke.

And I’m sure he played at a top or relevant level.

You can “pick up and play” literally any spec.

This is irrelevant.

And yet I wager you still found a way to accomplish neither.

I didn’t realized I was getting on a high horse when I made the piano comment. I was more going with the tempo of the key presses, rather than the complexity of said songs.
Still, at least Warriors aren’t as streamlined as Ret paladin.

I have a Fury and I can tell you, they will steamroll anything involving multiple trash/adds at once. And even if there is only one target, boss or anything. They still do very decently, sometimes better than average.

Fury is what I dub, “True Spammy Whammy” spec, second to Enhancement Shaman (Very true last expansion, not so much now sadly but still decently spammy).

They are generally easier to play with because they can survive just a bit more than Arms, through their Bloodthirst and a defensive that doubles as your utility to heal back heal rapidly, through Bloodthirst of course. Though leveling might be a bit of a chore because they don’t get very good until you level to the point Whirlwind applies a cleave buff for the next 2 single target to also hit other nearby targets. So its better to go Arms until then. However, it still does hurt quite a bit so as long you have haste even if before you even gain the ability to cleave things to death.

The idea to make it fun is to make it feel absurd. I ran a Vulpera who just wears boxing gloves, talk about punching something to death.

I wasnt referring to you with the high horse comment at all.

Thanks for positively reinforcing all the stereotypes on these forums.

Fury ain’t rocket science, fury can be fun. OP has a layman’s question and I gave him a layman’s answer from my own experiences. Discount my opinion all you want, but its among the easier specs in the game.

As every spec is exceedingly simplistic, yes. By definition, you have to be correct.

This is insinuating anything aside from healing has real complexity.

Just remember if do you roll Fury when doing Theater of Pain on the boss Xav the Unfallen switch to arms. Coz if he picks to battle out with the other player you don’t want to be in Fury spec. Be in Arms coz that’s a PvP fight kinda of.
