Fury abilities 23

IconAbilityLevelChangeWhat it does
Battle Shout1Changed Buffs

The warrior shouts, increasing the melee attack power of all party or raid members within 20 yards by 139. Lasts 3 min.

What to know: Cut to 139 attack power at rank 7 (Classic 232), lasting 3 minutes. Improved Battle Shout is baked in. Booming Voice widens it and makes it cheaper. Raid wide.

Ranks at level: 1 1 · 2 12 · 3 22 · 4 32 · 5 42 · 6 52 · 7 60

Battle Stance1As Classic Damage

A balanced combat stance.

Heroic Strike1As Classic Damage Tank

A strong attack that increases melee damage by 157 and causes a high amount of threat.

What to know: A queued Heroic Strike no longer raises your off-hand hit chance, so the Classic dual-wield trick is gone.

Ranks at level: 1 1 · 2 8 · 3 16 · 4 24 · 5 32 · 6 40 · 7 48 · 8 56 · 9 60

Charge4As Classic Damage Utility

Charge an enemy, generate 15 Rage, and Stun it for 1 sec. Cannot be used in combat.

What to know: Unchanged, but Protection's 16-point talent Vanguard makes it usable in Defensive Stance.

Ranks at level: 1 4 · 2 26 · 3 46

Rend4As Classic Damage

Wounds the target causing them to bleed for 147 damage over 21 sec.

What to know: Blizzard gave it "significant damage scaling from Attack Power" (the tooltip shows only the flat part). It tags a mob to you instantly. Arms' Bloodthrill lets hits on a Rended target enable Overpower.

Ranks at level: 1 4 · 2 10 · 3 20 · 4 30 · 5 40 · 6 50 · 7 60

Thunder Clap6Changed Tank Damage

Blasts nearby enemies with thunder, increasing the time between their attacks by 20% for 30 sec and doing 103 damage to them. Will affect up to 4 targets.

What to know: Usable in Defensive Stance too. 6-second cooldown (Classic 4), 20% attack-speed slow (Classic 10%), up to 4 targets. Blizzard gave it big attack-power damage scaling and reduced its threat; the tooltip still shows the flat number.

Ranks at level: 1 6 · 2 18 · 3 28 · 4 38 · 5 48 · 6 58

Bloodrage10Changed Utility

Generates 10 rage at the cost of health, and then generates an additional 10 rage over 10 sec.

What to know: Its tooltip no longer says it puts you in combat; untested. The client lists its cost as "20% of base mana", a leftover field: it costs health.

Overpower12As Classic Damage

Instantly overpower the enemy, causing weapon damage plus 35. Only useable after the target dodges. The Overpower cannot be blocked, dodged or parried.

Ranks at level: 1 12 · 2 28 · 3 44 · 4 60

Cleave20Changed Damage Tank

A sweeping attack that does your weapon damage plus 50 to the target and a second nearby enemy.

What to know: Raging Blows (Fury, 16 points) makes it 3 rage cheaper.

Ranks at level: 1 20 · 2 30 · 3 40 · 4 50 · 5 60

Piercing Howl20Fury talent, tier 3Talent Utility

Causes all enemies within 0 yds to be Dazed, reducing movement speed by 50% for 6 sec.

What to know: Fury's 11-point talent: the AoE slow.

Retaliation20Changed Damage

Instantly counterattack any enemy that strikes you in melee for 15 sec. Melee attacks made from behind cannot be counterattacked. A maximum of 30 attacks will cause retaliation.

What to know: 15-minute cooldown (Classic 30), no longer shared.

Slam20Earlier Damage

Slams the opponent, causing weapon damage plus 87.

What to know: Trained at 20 (Classic 30): a new rank 1 at 20 comes before the Classic ranks (30/38/46/54), and an 18-second cooldown. Blizzard made it a cooldown so nobody has to manage a swing timer, and said it may revisit that. Improved Slam stops it delaying your swing. Spell pushback no longer interrupts it.

Ranks at level: 1 20 · 2 30 · 3 38 · 4 46 · 5 54

Victory Rush20New Damage Healer

Instantly attack the target causing 1 damage and healing you for 10% of your maximum health. Only useable within 20 sec after you kill a non-trivial enemy.

What to know: New in Forever at 20. Free and instant on a 30-second cooldown; usable for 20 seconds after you kill a "non-trivial" enemy. Heals 10% of your maximum health, which is most of your solo sustain.

Intimidating Shout22Changed Utility

The warrior shouts, causing the targeted enemy to cower in fear. Up to 5 enemies within 8 yds will flee in fear. Lasts 8 sec.

What to know: The client marks its numbers and wording as changed from Classic: 5 enemies within 8 yards flee for 8 seconds.

Execute24As Classic Damage

Attempt to finish off a wounded foe, causing 600 damage and converting each extra point of rage into 15 additional damage. Only usable on enemies that have 20% or less health.

An aggressive stance. Critical strike chance increased by 3% and all damage taken is increased by 10%.

What to know: Learned at 30 from the class quest [Classic].

Death Wish30Fury talent, tier 5Talent Damage

When activated, increases your Physical damage done by 20% and makes you immune to Fear effects, but increases all damage you take by 5%. Lasts 30 sec.

What to know: Fury's 21-point talent. +20% physical damage and fear immunity for 30 seconds, but you take 5% more damage (Classic lowered armour and resistances). It is the gate to Flurry.

Instantly attack the target causing damage equal to 45% of your Attack Power plus 48 and increasing your movement speed by 10% for 10 sec.

What to know: Fury's 31-point talent. It no longer heals; it gives 10% movement speed for 10 seconds instead.

Ranks at level: 1 40 · 2 48 · 3 54 · 4 60

Recklessness50Changed Damage

The warrior will gain 100% increased critical strike chance and will be immune to Fear effects for the next 15 sec, but all damage taken is increased by 20%.

What to know: Still 30 minutes, on purpose: Blizzard tested shorter big cooldowns and Warriors did far too much damage. No longer shares a cooldown.
