TBC Classic Fury Warrior Guide (Phase 3)
About the Class
Fury Warrior is a plate-wearing melee fighter who dual-wields weapons. It is the warrior's best DPS specialization. Compared to Classic, warriors have generally been weakened, but with good gear and the right group, Fury remains one of the top options for area and multi-target damage.
Strengths
- Very high multi-target damage.
- Unlimited resource: rage builds from damage dealt and taken.
Weaknesses
- Extremely gear-dependent.
- Weak in the early part of the expansion.
- Brings only damage to the raid.

Talents
Ability Priority
Battle Shout or 
Commanding Shout — keep the one you're responsible for up the entire fight
Demoralizing Shout — heavily cuts enemies' physical damage
Bloodrage — keep it up constantly and refresh in the last seconds so you don't lose the stacks
Bloodthirst — on cooldown; during the execute phase — if 30 rage has built up between 
Execute- Execute — on a target below 20% health
Whirlwind — on excess rage
Heroic Strike — at rage above 60, when your main abilities are on cooldown
Hamstring — only when rage is capped and there's nothing else to press
On AoE, a warrior pulls threat very easily, so let the tanks build threat before you begin.
Important Abilities
Rage management is an important part of playing a warrior. Know the cost of your abilities, keep the rage bar in view, and think a couple of buttons ahead. Before big cooldowns it's better to stockpile rage: skipping one

Best Professions
Crafted weapons hold up until the late stages of the expansion, so the profession is recommended for anyone who wants to squeeze out maximum damage. It also provides 
Adamantite Weightstone, 
Adamantite Sharpening Stone, and 
Greater Rune of Warding.
There's no benefit for the main spec, but the profession provides a lot of useful things: 
Rocket Boots Xtreme, explosives, and stamina trinkets for tanking — 
Goblin Rocket Launcher and 
Gnomish Poultryizer hold up for almost all of TBC.
Provides 
Enchant Ring - Stats — a total of +8 to all stats: a bit of health, attack power, and critical strike rating.
Provides 
Crimson Sun and 
Stone of Blades — gems slightly better than the regular ones.
A decent option if there's no one else in your group to bring 
Drums of Battle. Crafted gear at the start is also handy, but it's quickly replaced.
Provides 
Oil of Immolation — free AoE damage.
