Fury Warrior DPS Gear and Best in Slot — 12.0.5

Welcome to our Fury Warrior Gear and BiS Page for Midnight Season 1. Check this page to learn everything you need to know about gearing a Fury Warrior, including the BiS Gear from all sources, Raiding and Mythic+, information on the best Trinkets, Tier Sets, or take a look at the Midnight to learn more about new expansion features.

Generally speaking, item level is the best indicator of power, with higher item level pieces of gear almost always being stronger than ones which are slightly better itemized, though trinkets can be an exception to this rule of thumb due to their varied special effects.

Upgrading gear in Midnight continues to use the Crest system which lets you increase the item level of gear along tracks that relate to where you obtained the item, which harder content dropping gear that can be upgraded to higher Item Levels. For more information, read up on our dedicated page on how the gearing system works and what has changed in the Midnight expansion.

OverallMythic+Raid

This list contains the highest DPS setup from all sources for Fury Warrior. Keep in mind that there are some alternatives with similar stat distributions that perform similarly. This list is not the end-all-be-all list where any item that is not listed is far behind this specific selection.

This list is by no means a replacement for simming yourself. Depending on your previous Great Vault choices and the gear you have available, your BiS gear might look different in some spots than the below list.

Non-embellished crafted items are not as strong as their fully upgraded counterparts, but can make very strong filler pieces.

FAQWhich Tier Set Pieces Do I Want?

For Midnight Season 1, Fury Warriors should prioritize Helmet, Shoulder, Chest, and Leg tier set pieces. However, completing bonuses is much more important than optimizing itemization, so do not put much emphasis on holding out for better pieces.

TipsWhich Dungeons Should I Farm?

If you have limited time to play the game, we recommend to farm the following dungeons:

• Magister's Terrace: Contains the best weapon available from dungeons, cape, and various alternative pieces of gear.
• Nexus-Point Xenas: The ring set is extremely competitive, particularly for players who do not have access to Mythic L'ura.
• Seat of the Triumvirate: The gloves are particularly competitive in single target setups.

There are several trinkets available in Season 1, though there are very few on-use trinkets this season, with the majority being random damage or stat buffs, which have little gameplay value and do not benefit from class effects such as Avatar or Colossus Smash.

New in Patch 12.0.5, players can acquire a new means to improve their gear and target farm specific Mythic+ dungeon or raid drops each week.

• Nebulous Voidcore serves as a bonus roll used on raid bosses or at the end of Mtyhic+ dungeons, awarding an item from the relevant loot table. Unlike previous versions, this system works on a knockout list, so that the same item will not be obtained twice in a row, allowing specific gear to be target farmed over time. Bonus raid boss loot is awarded on its corresponding difficulty track, while end of Mythic+ dungeon items are awarded as if they came from the Great Vault.
• Ascendant Voidcore can be used to add 9 item levels to fully upgraded Hero or Myth-track weapons and trinkets, including maximum quality crafted ones.

Seasonal Mechanics

Voidforge and Voidcores

Check our our guide on the Voidforge to learn how to acquire this powerful upgrades!

Go to Guide

There are two primary ways of using Nebulous Voidcore bonus rolls, depending on the needs of the player. Ideally, they should be spent in Mythic+10 dungeons and Mythic raid bosses to maximize the reward, but keep in mind that Mythic raid bosses can only be defeated once per week, while Mythic+ dungeons may be repeated in order to stockpile and then use several bonus rolls until the desired item is obtained.

Voidcore (Bonus Roll) Priority

1. Myth-track weapons such as Bellamy's Final Judgement or Alah'endal, the Dawnsong
2. Myth-track trinkets such as Gaze of the Alnseer, Heart of Ancient Hunger, Umbral Plume, or Algeth'ar Puzzle Box
3. Myth-track cantrips such as Eye of Midnight, Voidclaw Gauntlets, or Eternal Voidsong Chain

Keep in mind that two Nebulous Voidcore are consumed when bonus rolling raid bosses, while Mythic+ dungeons only use one at a time due to their much larger loot pools. Alts in need of raw gear more than specific pieces may therefore be better suited spending most of their rolls in dungeon.

Only weapons and trinkets may be upgraded using the Ascendant Voidcores, making the upgrade priority very straightforward.

1. Weapons are always the most important upgrade, even if they are crafted.
2. Trinkets should follow.

Professions are a great way to gear up with your optimal secondary stats, as adding special items to the crafting process lets you pick and choose the exact secondary stats you want.

If you want to find out more about professions, i.e. to learn how to craft your own Mythic itemlevel equipment, make sure to check out our Midnight Profession guide!

Crafting a weapon first is a very good choice for Fury Warriors, as the increased item level will discount upgrades on their weapon, effectively gearing two slots for the price of one. For their second embellishment, either a cloak or bracer are competitive crafts, both being the lowest budget slots, which is ideal for the lower maximum item level on crafted items.

Fury Crafted Gear Priority

• Blood Knight's Impetus with Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt
• Spellbreaker's Bracers or Adherent's Silken Shroud with Arcanoweave Lining
• Fill out remaining gear slots as needed

For more information about crafting gear you can visit our Professions page.

Up to two of your crafted items can be Embellished. This is a similar concept as Unique-Equipped, as you can only wear two items that have the Embellished status. Some crafted items, many of which have powerful procs or beneficial effects by default, are considered Embellished. You can also add Embellishments from a variety of professions to any crafted item, adding the effect to this item either when creating it or at a later stage.

As there is a lot of competition for Embellishments, you will have to pick and choose the two strongest ones for your overall DPS output. Most of them provide very similar DPS benefits, even if the effects are entirely different. The two best choices for this are:

• For Raid and Mythic+: Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt on Weapon and Arcanoweave Lining on either wrists or back.

It is recommended to sim yourself to find out what works best, and consider any potential spec swaps that may be made in the near future.

Instead of picking an item from the Great Vault each week, players can opt to take tokens instead, six of which can be exchanged for a Radiant Jewelbinder, a consumable which adds a single socket to Helmets, Bracers, or Belts that do not already have one. This makes it a good way of finishing gear which you do not intend to replace.

Early into the season, or if you have just started playing an alt, you will have limited access to upgrading-crests such as Myth Dawncrest. These can be used to upgrade gear to higher itemlevels. Since crests are limited each week and upgrading different items costs the same amount of crests regardless, you will want to prioritize your usage of them on items you plan on not replacing anytime soon, or that offer the biggest benefits.

Fury Warrior Crest Upgrade Priority

Weapons ➜ Trinkets ➜ Helmet/Chest/Legs ➜ Shoulders/Gloves/Belt/Boots

These are not the only items worth upgrading, of course. They simply offer the highest DPS gain early into the tier when your upgrade currency is limited. Note that exceptions are possible, such as special cantrip items that have additional effects unique to that piece of gear.

Throughout this page and elsewhere in our guide, we regularly refer to the importance of simming yourself on Raidbots. This is because every character is unique, and each gear piece you have access to can change what is best right now for you.

While we do offer recommendations for gear and trinkets, these are not complete replacements for simming yourself. The only way to truly optimize your character to that degree is by making use of the tools available!
