Fury Warrior Leveling Guide for Midnight

Fury Warrior is a very straightforward leveling class, which starts a little slow, but picks up worthwhile multi-target tools around level 17 and features very strong self-sustain.

Past that point, Warriors start to become quite competent, regularly pulling several mobs together and cleaving them down without fear, thanks to Warpaint Icon Warpaint mitigating damage and Victory Rush Icon Victory Rush to heal back up. By rotating several offensive cooldowns, Fury Warriors will eventually chain from pull to pull with little to no downtime.

Always initiate combat with Charge Icon Charge whenever able, using Heroic Throw Icon Heroic Throw or Heroic Leap Icon Heroic Leap to pull more as desired. When facing several enemies, use Whirlwind Icon Whirlwind first so that Bloodthirst Icon Bloodthirst, Raging Blow Icon Raging Blow, Execute Icon Execute, and Rampage Icon Rampage will cleave onto multiple targets.

Once unlocked, Odyn's Fury Icon Odyn's Fury can be used regularly due to its short cooldown, while longer cooldowns like Recklessness Icon Recklessness can be saved for bigger packs or harder targets.

The Recuperate Icon Recuperate ability can be used to quickly regain health between combat, without the need to carry level appropriate food around, since it always restores 50% of maximum health.

Leveling Gear Options

When leveling up, equipping the highest item level pieces of gear is generally ideal. The major exceptions to this rule are some trinkets and Rings or Necklaces featuring two secondary stats instead of just one.

When using Heirloom items, we recommend using those with Critical Strike and Haste, as they will slightly improve Rage economy while leveling.

Useful Leveling Consumables for Midnight

At the start of every new expansion, the one thing in everyone's mind would be how to reach the maximum level. For Midnight, the max level is 90. There are various items to boost your leveling speed and efficiency, allowing you to make the best out of your playtime.

  • Gunshoes Icon Gunshoes — Massive movement speed boost that works when Mounts do not, and much faster than ground mounts.
  • Goblin Glider Kit Icon Goblin Glider Kit — Lets you glide off of ledges and cover vast distances quickly.
  • Fried Bonefish Icon Fried Bonefish — Gives you a speed buff when you kill enemies.
  • Light-Step Hoofplates Icon Light-Step Hoofplates — Do not forget this Mount Equipment to make your mounts faster on the ground.

War Mode Talents for Leveling

The following PvP talents are recommended for leveling and doing solo / small group PvE content. You may find that different PvP talents work better for you depending on your playstyle. Experimentation is encouraged!

  1. Rebound Icon Rebound boosts the value of Spell Reflection Icon Spell Reflection, providing both more offensive and defensive value in exchange for a slightly longer cooldown.
  2. Enduring Rage Icon Enduring Rage helps build Rage and use Rampage Icon Rampage more frequently.
  3. Dragon Charge Icon Dragon Charge grants extra mobility, which is always useful while leveling.
