How To: Quick guide to Fury Warrior

Armory: Ryû

Here's a quick, down and dirty of all you need to know on how to play Fury-TG DPS in PvE.

Spec:  Please see my armory link and refer to my fury spec there.  It's the common cookie cutter spec that you will see any fury warrior using as of now.  Feel free to swap Piercing Howl for Heroic Fury.

Normal Rotation:  Col. Smash > Blood Thirst > Raging Blow > Blood Thirst > Free GCD.

Colossal Smash takes top priority in abilities, and should be generally used every time it is off GCD.  It is ideal to fit in 2 BT's and a RB while CS applied to your target to maximize it's worth.  The free GCD will usually be used for our slam procs or Battle Shout.  If I find myself having none of these available I'll even use heroic throw.  Also, I Heroic Strike when ever my rage is 65+ but you may need to find a comfortable spot for yourself depending on your hit rating and situation in a fight.

Stats:  

Running Tier 12: Str > 8% Hit > 26 Exp > Crit > 27% Hit >= Master > Haste

Running Tier 13: Str > Exp/Hit Caps > Hit to 19% >= Crit > Haste > Mastery

Due to the current content being Tier 13, I will go a little more in depth into information relevant to 4.3.

Alright, so you're speced and have a descent knowledge of rotation and stats.. now what?

How should I reforge?
While reforging you should drop stats at the end of our priority list here, so let's say Haste and Mastery.  I'm Hit/Exp capped for basic attacks so I'll reforge out of Haste and Mastery into either Hit or Crit depending what the gear already has.  Example:  My Legs have Hit and Mastery - I'm going to reforge out of Mastery and into Crit.

How should I gem?
If your bonus for meeting gem sockets will yield +10 Strength or more, you should meet the requirements.
