Cataclysm Classic Fury Warrior Guide

Cataclysm Classic Fury Warrior Rotation

Fury Warriors have a simple priority rotation, but as with any class that uses Rage or Energy, managing your resources properly will be critical to performing well. There are some nuances like delaying a
Colossus Smash
cast by a couple seconds to ensure you get 3 special attacks within the 6 second debuff window.

Single Target

1. Use and maintain 3 stacks of
   Sunder Armor
   if assigned to it.
2. Maintain
   Battle Shout
   or
   Commanding Shout

3. Use
   Bloodrage
   .
4. Use
   Berserker Rage
   if you need to be Enraged for
   Raging Blow
   .
5. Use
   Inner Rage
   when high on Rage.
6. Use
   Recklessness
   .
7. Use
   Death Wish
   .
8. Use
   Heroic Strike
   with
   Battle Trance
   proc or if you have excess Rage.
9. Use
   Colossus Smash
   . Only use if you can
   Bloodthirst
   twice and
   Raging Blow
   or
   Slam
   inside the debuff window.
10. While target is below 20% HP, maintain 5 stacks of
    Executioner
    .

    Bloodthirst
    .
12. Use
    Raging Blow
    while Enraged. This effect comes from
    Berserker Rage
    ,
    Death Wish
    , and the talent
    Enrage
    .
13. Use
    Slam
    with
    Bloodsurge
    procs.
14. Use
    Execute
    while target is below 20% HP.
15. Use
    Battle Shout
    or
    Commanding Shout
    to generate Rage.
