Comment by h0muraLack of PvP insights on any class is sad. Especially on any dd warrior spec(or any undertuned in PvP) which is mediocre at best in DF.Comment by ChaxtonFury has been my main since Wrath of the Lich King. For better and for worse, in times of good tuning and sickness, I've always loved playing Fury, be it when it was a god like during Siege of Orgrimmar or when it was total trash (pretty much every expansion before BfA when not in the final patch), and I've never thought otherwise. BfA, while a terribly dull expansion, showed signs of great change for fury, and Shadowlands improved on the class with fun covenant abilities. Dragonflight's talents and the class changes are icing on the cake, and the class is almost at its best in Dragonflight, future tuning excluded.

Of course, I want to go back to the SoO days where our damage was absurd and we just deleted anyone and anything that was stupid enough to fight us, but that won't ever happen again.Comment by Xernathwhy is several cooldowns to use as -? to me its a plus that class doesnt hang around 121213122313322311 rotation for all type of content?

who forces you to pick active talents over passives if you cant manage them?Comment by Archimtiroswhy is several cooldowns to use as -? to me its a plus that class doesnt hang around 121213122313322311 rotation for all type of content?who forces you to pick active talents over passives if you cant manage them?haveComment by UDtheAesirWITNESS ME! Kidding aside, love Fury.Comment by mysticx1You mentioned how spammy Fury is, but there's also the "Annihilator"-talent, removing "Raging blow" from the rotation, making it less spammy, was that an oversight, or is the talent so much worse than the others that it isn't worth considering?

Regular Fury is too spammy for me, at least for longer periods of time (My mouse-hand cramps up, i use a gaming mouse for the most common attacks), so is "Annihilator" a viable option for people like me, or is going Arms a better idea?Comment by VSozonovYou mentioned how spammy Fury is, but there's also the "Annihilator"-talent, removing "Raging blow" from the rotation, making it less spammy, was that an oversight, or is the talent so much worse than the others that it isn't worth considering?

Fury has the least cool downs compares to most specs. Not to mention, Anger Management just turns fury into button mashing. The only negative/positive that would make sense is its a button mashing spec. I love that about it, but others might not. Raging blow and Rampage combo, and soon with Titan rage on top of it will make some real fun stuff. The only issue I see is blizzard being stubborn on making set bonus execute focus. could've easily returned siegebreaker for a set instead.Comment by mysticx1The last I've seen annihilator build was not simming that well but even if it was my experience on beta was that it isn't any less spammy than regular build. With annihilator you have bloodthirst up every 2nd gcd and you are using slam as a filler so you pretty much always have something to press and there is almost no difference in apm. If you want a slower rotation I'd definitely go with Arms (although Arms feels faster than before as well).Comment by SundercatYou mentioned how spammy Fury is, but there's also the "Annihilator"-talent, removing "Raging blow" from the rotation, making it less spammy, was that an oversight, or is the talent so much worse than the others that it isn't worth considering?

And I didn't get that far before I couldn't defeat a rare NPC in Draenor. There's always playing in the future, though.Comment by WchrFury is for me the most fun to play and engaging spec in the game. Honestly, trying fury couple of years ago kept me playing wow. And yes, i will play it in DF.Comment by DawilliIm so disappointend that SMF not even mention in the build. it was so awesome on last patch of BFA to play 2 one hand Meele weapons with insane proc effects from previous expansions. And now ? Nothing!Comment by Cyl444444can anyone explain exactly which abilities fury has that can take advantage of the " hold to cast " feature ?Comment by VillainousLioncan anyone explain exactly which abilities fury has that can take advantage of the " hold to cast " feature ?Comment by ptioineThe last I've seen annihilator build was not simming that well but even if it was my experience on beta was that it isn't any less spammy than regular build.
