Best Matchups

Worst Matchups

  •  Discipline Priest 45% WR (40,188 matches). One of the harder matchups. Against Discipline Priest you die first at 50.4%, so saving defensive cooldowns early is key.
  •  Frost Mage 46.9% WR (19,884 matches). Difficult matchup into Frost Mage. You die first at 52.9%, so playing defensively in the opener is important.

3v3 comp versatility is limited for  Fury Warrior (rank 29 of 35 specs with winning comps).

Common Mistakes

The most frequent mistakes  Fury Warrior players make in ranked Solo Shuffle matches from the last 30 days, based on automated combat-log analysis.

Used Pummel but did not interrupt anyone. Missing your kick is bad on two levels. First, your interrupt is on cooldown for 15 to 24 seconds depending on your class, so you can't stop anything dangerous that comes next. Second, because of Precognition, the enemy player is now uninterruptible for a few seconds. So not only can you not kick them, your teammates can't either. They just get to freecast. If you're a melee tunneling a caster, your interrupt is one of the main reasons you're even a threat to them. Casters already have an inherent advantage because they can position wherever they want and always deal damage. If you're getting faked constantly, you're removing one of the tools that makes you dangerous to them. You don't want to be the kind of player that's easy to fake. You need to play the mind game properly and not be so predictable that casters just bait your kick every time.
3.3x / game
Intimidating Shout was available for over a minute without use. Arena matches can last just a couple of minutes. Some end in under one. If you're holding onto your CC and not getting it out quickly, you're not building momentum fast enough. The teams that win are usually the ones getting the most CC out, the most offensive usage, the ones that get stuff going straight away. Every CC you use is a chance to swing momentum your way, force a trinket, or lock someone down long enough to create a kill window. If you're sitting on your crowd control, you're missing out on additional uses over the course of the game. The total number of times you use your CC matters, and holding it for too long cuts directly into that.
1.4x / game
Used Shockwave but did not hit anyone. CC, especially stuns with fixed cooldowns, is how your team generates momentum. If you waste one, you're locked out of a chance to build momentum for 30 seconds to over a minute depending on the ability. Without CC you can't set up kills. Momentum shifts in arena come from CC chains and coordination. Every time you let a stun or trap get wasted, you put your team behind and take away your own ability to create pressure until it comes back up.
1.1x / game
Storm Bolt was available for over a minute without use. Arena matches can last just a couple of minutes. Some end in under one. If you're holding onto your CC and not getting it out quickly, you're not building momentum fast enough. The teams that win are usually the ones getting the most CC out, the most offensive usage, the ones that get stuff going straight away. Every CC you use is a chance to swing momentum your way, force a trinket, or lock someone down long enough to create a kill window. If you're sitting on your crowd control, you're missing out on additional uses over the course of the game. The total number of times you use your CC matters, and holding it for too long cuts directly into that.
0.6x / game
Let teammate die with Rallying Cry available. If your teammate dies and you had an ability that could have kept them alive, you're equally responsible for that death. You can't just blame your teammate for dying when you were sitting on a cooldown that would have saved them. This is one of the ways you carry in arena. Using your tools to keep your team alive is just as important as doing damage. It's not as bad as dying with your own defensives up, but it's up there. You could have kept the game going and you didn't. Take equal responsibility.
