Rotation

Fury has one rule above all others: never let Enrage drop. Rampage the instant Enrage has less than a global left, or at 100 Rage.

Single target Two or more targets

Keep this up

  • Rampage when Enrage has under a global remaining, or at 100 Rage. Everything else in the spec is worth more while Enrage is up.

Priority

  • Execute whenever it is available — in execute range or on a Sudden Death proc.
  • Bloodbath and Crushing Blow on cooldown; they are the Slayer payoff.
  • Bloodthirst, then Raging Blow to fill.
  • Whirlwind last, and only with Rage to spare.

Cooldowns

  • Recklessness and Avatar together.
  • Bladestorm while Enrage is up and holding — with Deft Experience it wants a full Enrage behind it.
  • Odyn's Fury on cooldown inside the burst window.
  • A dropped Enrage costs more than any cooldown you could have pressed instead. When the two compete, Rampage wins.

Openers

Single target

  1. Charge in and Bloodthirst to get Enrage.
  2. Recklessness and Avatar.
  3. Rampage, then Odyn's Fury.
  4. Bladestorm while Enrage is safe.
  5. Normal priority from there, refreshing Rampage before Enrage falls.

Where to spend bonus rolls as Fury Warrior

A Voidcore pays out an item every time — the question is only whether it is one you wanted. For this build, in order:

Roll Entombed Sentinels — 3 of its 5 drops are on your list

60% of every roll here lands something on the list. In The Venomous Abyss, it owes you neck, hands and trinket 2.

Then Vashnik the Malignant — 2 of its 4 drops are on your list

50% of every roll here lands something on the list. In The Venomous Abyss, it owes you chest and ring 2.

The general principles behind this — knockout protection, why finishing one boss beats spreading rolls, and the crests a roll quietly costs you — are in the bonus roll guide.

Week-by-week route

  1. Pre-season: the campaign, a world tour of Mythic 0s for a 292 loadout, and the weekly Spark quest. No Myth crests exist yet — bank the Spark.
  2. Week 1: farm +10 keys to a full Hero 3/6 (311) loadout and fill the vault. You open the week holding two full Sparks, so craft Adherent's Silken Shroud and Spellbreaker's Bracers back to back if your Myth crests cover both infusions. Every Hero crest goes into lifting pieces toward 6/6 (321).
  3. Week 2: first Voidcore — roll Entombed Sentinels, where 3 of 5 drops are on this list. Catalyse the set slots for the 4-set. No new Spark this week — the next whole one banks in Week 3.
  4. Weeks 3–6: one Voidcore a week down the order above — finish a boss before starting the next. Keep spending Hero crests; every slot should sit at 321 by about Week 6.
  5. Week 7 onward: two Voidcores a week (the vault and Orin Straylight). Roll Myth-track bases in the set slots, re-catalyse them, and take each to 6/6 for 80 Myth and 20 Hero crests.
  6. Late season: Chausses of Unbound Rancor, Zul'jin's Guillotine Technique and Maze-roa, Warlord's Fury come from the last two bosses at Myth 9 (344). Secure the base items early — that is the only place the extra three ranks exist.

The fast variant

Same stat priority, 6 slots moved. Pathfinder builds the list above for raw power and does not care how many bosses that takes; Slate prices the route as well, and takes an equal-strength item from a boss you are already farming over one that sends you somewhere new. It visits 2 places against the strongest list's 3, at the same average item level.
