Fury Warrior stat priority
- 1HitDual-wielding raises your white-swing miss chance far above the special-attack cap, so hit keeps paying past 9%.
- 2Weapon skillOn your race's weapon type, worth about as much as hit and also reduces glancing blows.
- 3Critical strikeFlurry uptime and rage generation both depend on it.
- 4StrengthTwo attack power per point.
- 5Agility, attack powerAgility for a little crit; attack power is the floor.
Caps and breakpoints
| Stat | Target | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Melee hit | about 9% | Removes misses on special attacks against a raid boss. Hit from talents counts towards it. |
| Dual-wield auto attacks | about 27% | Off-hand and main-hand swings miss far more often while dual-wielding. Nobody reaches it, which is why hit never stops being good. |
| Weapon skill | 305 and up | Each point above 300 cuts misses and glancing blows. Classic Humans and Orcs got 5 from racials; Forever's racials are beta values. |
Classic values against a level 63 raid boss. Forever has not published its own.
How a Fury Warrior gears
Fury wants two one-handers: a slow main hand for Bloodthirst and Heroic Strike, and an off-hand where speed matters less than damage per second. In Classic the main-hand slot was where Fury warriors gained most between phases.
Because the dual-wield miss chance is so high, Fury is the spec where a piece with hit on it most often beats a piece with more total stats. The spec is rage-starved in poor gear and snowballs in good gear, which makes it the clearest case for buying or farming pre-raid pieces before the first lockout.
- Count the hit on every candidate piece. A small stat loss for 1% hit is usually a gain.
- Match both weapons to your race's weapon skill bonus where you can.
