Fury Warrior Tier Sets
10.2 tier set takes Fury in a very different direction from anything we’ve played so far in Dragonflight. The tier set makes Odyn’s Fury and, to some degree, Reckless Abandon mandatory.
- 2 set: Odyn’s Fury deals 50% increased damage and causes your next 3 Bloodthirsts to deal 150% increased damage and have 100% increased Crit chance against the primary target
- 4 set: Bloodthirst critical strikes reduce the cooldown of Odyn’s Fury by 1.5 seconds
With these tier sets in mind, we’re once again in a situation where Bloodbath is doing significantly more damage than any other ability.
Legendary Weapon
Fyr’alath, the Dreamrender is the legendary weapon that can be acquired from Fyrakk. The quest starting item has a chance to drop on ANY difficulty, with higher chances to drop from higher difficulties.
In a statement from Blizzard, higher difficulties include the drop chances from difficulties below, as long as you haven’t already done them.
This weapon is by far our best obtainable weapon this patch due to its decent passive effect and high item level. The on-use is awkward as you are rooted for 3 seconds during its channel, so care needs to be taken to use this at a safe time so as not to be killed.
The on-use is best saved until you have CD downtime (no Avatar or CS active). Note that you do not generate Rage during this time, so plan your globals immediately after the channel accordingly.
Fury Warrior Best in Slot Gear
You should still prioritise the gear you use by running a sim for your character, but the lists below will give you a good idea of what items are considered good for Fury Warrior, and help you target the right content for each piece of loot.
Legendary Weapon: Fyr’alath, the Dreamrender. Dropping from Fyrakk, it's highly advised to do Heroic every week for a chance to get this weapon. The weapon will go in Main Hand on acquisition.

Fury Warrior Trinkets
At the time of writing, these are the best trinkets for single target:
- Cataclysmic Signet Brand
- Augury of Primal Flame (Very Rare)
- Fyrakk’s Tainted Rageheart (Very Rare)
Both rare trinkets are valuable with Augury being significantly RNG dependent. While Tainted Heart may be a tank trinket, its damage on use cannot be underestimated.
Special mention goes to Coiled Serpent Idol which is regularly simming quite well but in my own tests, this trinket doesn’t seem to perform how sims would suggest.
Trinkets from this seasons M+ dungeons are seemingly quite weak overall compared to their raid counterparts. That being said, Accelerating Sandglass and Spiked Counterweight are both solid pickups if you happen to see them.
Crafted Gear
Crafted gear is still as important as ever, but our choices are very straightforward this time in terms of embellishments.
Raid: Allied Chestplate of Generosity - While this item has been nerfed recently, it’s still quite valuable, especially if you can get multiple people in your group/raid to have it crafted.
Allied Wristguard of Companionship - Very solid all round embellishment. You will almost never be in a position where you don’t have full value while hitting a trash pack or boss.
Mythic+: Frostfire Legguards of preparation and Lariat.
Frostfire Legs for M+ are still good on paper, though maybe a little weaker since we lack a lot of pack to pack damage now.
As always Lariat’s power is directly tied to number of sockets equipped. Do not consider crafting/upgrading this item until you have at least 5-6 sockets (and always SIM BEFORE YOU CRAFT).
Gear upgrading
The new crest system is incredibly powerful and can offer any player a significantly high item level within a couple of weeks of playing their character.
For the most part, consider upgrading slots that you are unlikely to replace anytime soon while also trying to focus on high-value slots, such as weapons and major armor pieces like the chest and legs.
You gain crests very quickly, so don't hold back on upgrading if you can gain a significant power boost immediately, even if you may replace that piece of gear in a week or two.
