Although Warriors may be best known as a top tier tanking class in WoW Dragonflight, that doesn't mean that some specs can't hold their own on the DPS charts as they head into Mythic+ and Raid groups. Fury Warriors with the right player behind the keyboard have the ability to deal some amazing damage in endgame content.
When it comes to playing a Fury Warrior effectively in WoW Dragonflight, players have a lot to consider if they want to maximize their performance. In addition to mastering the best optimal rotation and sticking to the best Fury talent build, players also need to understand how to prioritize their stats to put the numbers in their favor.
As always, exact stat priority does shift around a bit depending on each situation and strategy while playing this PvE mid-tier DPS spec. There's a general stat priority order that should be pretty safe though, so players will want to follow these guidelines as they reach the endgame and start making tough decisions around gear and stats for their Fury Warrior...
Fury Warrior Stat Priority
- Strength
- Haste
- Mastery
- Critical Strike
- Versatility
Fury Warrior Stats Explained
Strength
Strength is the primary stat for Fury Warriors. This stat can be found on plate armor and will help boost Attack Power, which adds to the damage of just about every ability a Fury Warrior relies on for DPS.
Haste
Haste is the crucial secondary stat for Fury Warriors. Stacking Haste may feel strange for veteran players, but changes to this stat making it essential for increasing all damage from abilities, spells, andf auto attacks in WoW Dragonflight.
Mastery
Mastery has some really crucial synergy with Enrage. This stat can help increase the damage bonus of Enrage, which makes it a worthwhile investment of resources.
Critical Strike
Critical Strike increases damage done by abilities and auto attacks, which make it pretty useful for maximizing DPS, but it still falls far below Haste and Mastery in the stat priority list.
Versatility
As usual, Versatility boosts all damage done and decreases all incoming damage.
Ideal Stat Caps
At this point, Fury Warriors do not need to worry about stat caps in Dragonflight content. At some point in the future Dragonflight meta game it's possible that might change.
That should be everything that Fury Warriors need to know as they figure out their stat priorities and begin dominating the WoW Dragonflight endgame content. Be sure to check back for more WoW Dragonflight news, updates, and strategy guides in the near future. Until then, For the Horde!
