We are here willing to explain the mechanics of a fury warrior, the necessary stats, and how to perform at an optimal DPS level in raids. It included all sorts of nifty things that hopefully answer questions new warriors might have; like weapon choices and how to socket gear. This is for Player versus Environment only, not for Player versus Player. For PvP you'd want to go with a 2-handed weapon and spec into the arms tree for mortal strike. With that cleared up let's get to it!
First and foremost, let's go through the basic stats a fury Warrior should focus on. The key stats in no particular order are strength/attack power, critical strike rating, hit rating, and stamina.
Strength/Attack Power provide the same benefit to the fury warrior in a sense, while they are different in wording. Both increase the damage the fury Warrior will output. There is a conversion of strength-to-attack power, but not vice versa. This means that one point of strength will give your fury Warrior two attack power, but two Attack power won't give you one point of strength.
For fury Warriors, critical strikes are very important! Not only do they provide extra damage, but whenever you get a critical strike you gain a buff called Flurry, which increases the speed at which you attack by 25%. To increase critical strike rating, you can do it by wearing items with agility, or with critical strike rating on them.
Hit rating is another very important stat for fury Warriors because missing an attack means you deal no damage. Before we delve into this tedious subject, let's go over some key points regarding the attacks of a fury Warrior.
For fury Warrior, it is good to have Stamina because in keeps you alive and allows you to take more damage without dying as quickly as possible. A fury Warrior shouldn't ever be getting directly hit by a monster or a boss in a raid, however almost all bosses and most trash mobs have Area of Effect attacks that damage people in a certain radius for X amount of damage. So for a fury Warrior stamina is pretty important, since you will be standing behind the boss and most likely get hit by AOE damage.
With the combination of the stats we mentioned above, you may want to try to find plate gear. The main thing you want to try to remember is to have a balance of the strength/attack power, hit rating and crit rating. If you severely lack hit, but have tons of attack power and critical strike rating, you'll do a lot of damage theoretically, but you will miss all the time so it will be negated.
As a fury Warrior, you have a choice of using the following one handed weapons, swords, maces, axes, daggers, and fist weapons. You always want the slowest weapon you can possibly find for your main-hand so you can get the most damage out of your instant attack, whirlwind.
Almost all armor at level 70 will have slots to put gems in. A fury Warrior should never ever socket their gear with hit rating gems. Hit rating should be obtained naturally through gear with hit rating as equip bonuses. You should socket strength gems and critical strike rating gems in your gear only. Also, armor that has gem slots will have an "equip bonus" which will give you a bit of an extra stat if you gem the exact colors in the item.
When you have the proper stats, armor, and weapons, you have the ability to attack something to optimize your DPS as a fury Warrior. First, you will want to have battle shout and rampage up at all times, which will give you an increase of around 650 Attack Power and is ideal for increasing your damage. Bloodthirst has a six minute cool-down and whirlwind should have a nine second cool-down. You want to be sure you have enough rage to always satisfy both of these attacks when they are available after the cool-downs.
As above-mentioned, it is good to have a fury Warrior.
