Fury Warriors Reap the Benefits of Unannounced Hotfix in Season 3

Reap What You SowSeason 3 Slayer tier setReap the Storm

Since the beginning of The War Within, Bloodthirst has had a 20% chance to trigger Reap the Storm per target hit, for a combined 67% chance when cleaving five targets, causing Bloodthirst to be highly prioritized in multitarget combat throughout seasons 1 and 2.

With the addition of the Season 3 Slayer tier set in Patch 11.2, Raging Blow now also has up to a 20% chance to trigger Reap the Storm, though this chance is only rolled once per cast. Because of this, Raging Blow has a much lower overall chance to proc than Bloodthirst and has not been prioritized because of it, severely limiting the practical usefulness of the tier set bonus.

Following this week's update, Raging Blow now also has a separate chance to trigger Reap per target hit, up to a 67% chance just like Bloodthirst, giving Slayer a much more reliable way of triggering Reap and finally allowing the tier set bonus to meaningfully increase its multitarget damage potential.

Fury Warriors have risen from an average of 5.6m to 6.2m and from 7.2m to 8.2m on the top end, a substantial 10-14% increase.

Compared to Arms Warriors, Fury was previously 7-8% behind and is now 3-5% ahead, which is actually more balanced than they were before.

Colossus and Mountain Thane still continue to enjoy much better multitarget damage potential, especially in very large pulls, while Slayer brings a better balance of single target boss and multitarget damage. This means there's still a place for those other specializations, even if Slayer performs a little better on average.

Wowhead please be sure to include a pvp analysis of these changes in the future, thanks!Comment by nicesmelliesIt really says a lot about the state of warrior when we have a unprecedented celebratory post for becoming a B tier dungeon DPS for the first time in 5+ years. Being B tier in M+ is the kind of thing most DPS classes complain about, yet we are out here celebrating the fact that we might actually get an invite to a key now. Incredible.Comment by MZGreythere goes the fun.Comment by captynjanewayWhat font is that combat text though?Comment by CorpselanceCan't wait for the "New column of hero talent nodes in every Hero talent tree" to just be the Season 3 Tier set bonuses and some random new thing.
