Spec Tree

• Ravager
  • Ravager in combination with Unhinged is a lot of burst damage.
• Anger Management
  • Enables you to use cooldowns much more frequently, and you run into a positive feedback loop of getting your cooldowns back quicker, cooldowns let you spend more rage, which gets your cooldowns back faster again.
• Cruelty, Slaughtering Strikes and Hack and Slash.
  • You invest a lot into Raging Blow with these talents, both in power and in availability. Raging Blow is your second most used spell following Rampage.
• Onslaught
  • Together with Tenderize it provides a lot of damage on a short cooldown.
• Frenzied Enrage
  • The Anger Management build is all about spending Rage as fast as you can, and so the haste from Frenzied Enrage is superior to the flat damage from the alternative Powerful Enrage.

Class Tree

• Berserker's Torment
  • Berserker's Torment has amazing synergy with Anger Management.
    • The increased uptime of Recklessness helps fuel the positive feedback loop mentioned under Anger Management.
    • With much more common Recklessness casts you get significant Avatar uptime.
• Thunderous Roar
  • Very strong for AoE and convenient to use on somewhat spread targets with the 12 yard radius.
  • Thunderous Words is excellent with Odyn's Fury and Cold Steel, Hot Blood.

• Wrath and Fury is currently bugged and not applying the damage bonus to Raging Blow. When this bug is fixed drop Unbridled Ferocity to pick Wrath and Fury.

When to use Fyr'alath the Dreamrender

• Use Fyr'alath the Dreamrender when you do not have Avatar or Recklessness active. This applies to both single-target and multi-target.
• Prioritize your other cooldowns over Fyr'alath the Dreamrender if another cooldown and Fyr'alath are both ready at the same time.

Single-Target

ST or "Single-Target" refers to focusing all damage and abilities on a single enemy. This approach is crucial for maximizing damage output against bosses or specific high-priority targets in encounters.

Opener Rotation

• Your goal in the opener is to quickly get Enrage and use your cooldowns.
• When you use Recklessness with Reckless Abandon it gives you 50 rage, and using Charge with Recklessness active gives 40 rage, this way you get the rage needed for Rampage.

Priority List

This is a general priority you aim to maintain throughout the fight.

1. Use Rampage when you do not have Enrage active or it is about to run out within a Global Cooldown.
2. Use Cooldowns when available with the following priority:
   1. Use Ravager on cooldown.
   2. Use Thunderous Roar (Cleave and AoE Talents) on cooldown.
   3. Use Recklessness on cooldown.
   4. Use Avatar on cooldown.
   5. Use Champion's Spear (Single-Target Talents) on cooldown.

9. Use Bloodthirst (if you do not have Furious Bloodthirst) on cooldown.
10. Use Rampage.
11. Use Slam.

Multi Target

Multi target or in some cases AoE (Area of Effect) involves dealing damage to multiple enemies simultaneously, making it effective for clearing groups of enemies quickly.

• Improved Whirlwind and Meat Cleaver.
  • These talents enable your cleave through Whirlwind.
• Your highest priority is to have Whirlwind active.
• The Whirlwind ability itself does low damage, so only use it to enable your cleave or as a last priority filler.

Priority List for Multi Target

1. Use Whirlwind if needed to get Whirlwind.
2. Use Rampage when you do not have Enrage active or it is about to run out within a Global Cooldown.

   1. Use Ravager (Cleave Talents) on cooldown.

• Season 4 (4pc): Rampage causes your next Bloodthirst to have a 12% increased critical strike chance, deal 35% increased damage and generate 2 additional Rage. Stacking up to 10 times.

When to use Fyr'alath the Dreamrender

• Use Fyr'alath the Dreamrender when you do not have Avatar or Recklessness active. This applies to both single-target and multi-target.
• Prioritize your other cooldowns over Fyr'alath the Dreamrender if another cooldown and Fyr'alath are both ready at the same time.

Single-Target

Opener Rotation

• Your goal in the opener is to quickly get Enrage while not delaying your cooldowns, thankfully there are a few abilities synergizing allowing you to instantly reach the required 80 rage needed for Rampage.
• When you use Recklessness it applies an Avatar from Berserker's Torment which gives you 20 rage, and your normal Avatar provides another 20 rage. Charge provides the remaining 40 rage.
• It is important that you use Recklessness before Avatar and Charge, since Recklessness gives you a 100% rage generation increase.
• Use Ravager at range before you even Charge the boss.
• This opener can vary depending on your Rage generation, below you see one variation of the opener in single-target. Sometimes you are able to use several Rampage in a row with a lot of rage coming in from Ravager.

RavagerUnhinged's interaction with Reckless Abandon

• The automatic Bloodthirst being cast by Unhinged can consume Bloodbath, which is an opportunity to instead cast other high priority abilities, such as Crushing Blow and Odyn's Fury.
• A typical Ravager cooldown window is shown below.

Delay Rampage

• Since Rampage has a Rage cost but no cooldown, you can delay it without losing a Rampage use if you do not rage cap.
• The high value of Rampage comes from:
  • Reducing the remaining cooldown of Ravager and Recklessness through Anger Management.
  • Triggering Enrage.
  • Dealing significant damage.
• So in a scenario where:
  • This Rampage would not be enough cooldown reduction to get Recklessness ready (4 seconds).
  • You already have Enrage.
  • You do not risk hitting the rage cap.
• It is beneficial to use other high priority abilities such as Execute and Raging Blow and delay Rampage.
  • You are not guaranteed to always have Enrage up, and so saving up rage while you have Enrage already active gives you a higher overall uptime of Enrage.
  • Using Rampage is likely to give you additional Raging Blow charges from Hack and Slash, so using Raging Blow before Rampage gives you more overall Raging Blow casts instead of lower priority abilities.

Compared to the standard priority list this is a more detailed version of when to use Rampage:

• When Recklessness is active.
• When you do not have Enrage or it is about to run out within a Global Cooldown.
• When Raging Blow and Execute are on cooldown.
• When you have more than 110 rage.
• When Recklessness has less than 4 seconds remaining cooldown.

Refresh Whirlwind early

• In most situations Rampage has a very high priority, but in Multi-Target situations this can clash with another high priority of keeping Whirlwind active. This clash happens when you have a lot of rage coming in, mainly when Ravager is active.
• What you want to avoid is to spend your last Whirlwind stack, and then be forced to apply a new Whirlwind while stuck on max rage but unable to Rampage.
• Use Whirlwind when you have only 1 stack of Whirlwind remaining if Ravager is active and you have more than 60 rage.

Broodkeeper Diurna Tips

Phase 1 if you attack the boss

• If you are assigned to attack Broodkeeper in phase 1 this is a single target fight for you, and so you should go with Fury Warrior Raid Single-Target Talents.

Phase 1 if you attack the adds

• If you are assigned to attack the adds then you should use the Fury Warrior Raid Cleave Talents.
• Two add waves spawn soon after one another, and after that there is a break.

Phase 2

• Pay attention to the Frozen Shroud cast, because if you get rooted outside while kiting a Empowered Greatstaff's Wrath you are likely dead. However as a Warrior you can Heroic Leap back into melee. This is an overlap that only happens once or twice in the fight, and is also a great time to use Enraged Regeneration.

Raszageth the Storm-Eater Tips

• Go with Fury Warrior Raid Cleave Talents, except pick talents Intimidating Shout and Wrecking Throw instead of Bitter Immunity and Second Wind.
• Charge and Heroic Leap make it especially easy for Warriors to counter Hurricane Wing and Tempest Wing.

Offensive Cooldown Usage

• Use Wrecking Throw when you are attacking an absorb shield in first intermission with Flame Shield and in phase 2 during Stormsurge.
• Save Thunderous Roar if needed to AoE the first Storm Break.

Defensive Cooldown Usage

• Use Enraged Regeneration, Spell Reflection or Defensive Stance when you stack up for Volatile Current.
• In the timeline shown below Enraged Regeneration is marked at some of the most dangerous overlaps.

Utility Cooldown Usage

• AoE Crowd Control is excellent for dealing with Volatile Current, therefore you should use Shockwave and Intimidating Shout to help clear the sparks.
• The macro shown below automatically targets a spark with your Pummel.

/tar boss1/targetenemy/focus/tar player/tar focus/tar boss1/targetlasttarget/cast [harm,nodead] Pummel/tar boss1

Echo of Neltharion Tips

• Use your Heroic Leap in order to get out of Echoing Fissure just before the cast finishes so you stay on target during the cast time. Since this cast happens multiple times in phase 1 you can get significantly more uptime playing this way.
• A targeting macro as shown below is especially useful when afflicted by Corruption. When you get corrupted you become unfriendly to your raid group, and consequently it becomes hard to target the add.

/tar Voice From Beyond

Offensive Cooldown Usage

• Depending on your kill time the ideal offensive cooldown usage could change, but generally you should simply use cooldowns on cooldown.

Defensive Cooldown Usage

• Cover Echoing Fissure, Umbral Annihilation and Ebon Destruction with a defensive, especially later in the phases.

Scalecommander Sarkareth Tips

• In order to easily target Empty Recollection with several mobs spawning, a macro as shown below is ideal. After Sarkareth Abyssal Breath cast you press the macro and then you are ready to focus interrupt.

/tar Empty Recollection/focus

Offensive Cooldown Usage

Defensive Cooldown Usage

• Spell Reflection works to deflect Scorching Detonation, so you can plan your Spell Reflection to deflect the most dangerous Scorching Detonation.
• You take a lot of damage in phase 1, so be ready with Impending Victory and health potion.

Smolderon Tips

Offensive Cooldown Usage

• The best way to play with Fyr'alath the Dreamrender varies depending on the kill time. What is shown in the timeline below is best for long kill times, and it should be good for shorter kill times as well, just use Fyr'alath earlier if the boss is dying. If you reliably kill the boss before the last intermission using Fyr'alath on the first and third intermissions is likely better.

Defensive Cooldown Usage

• Use Enraged Regeneration when soaking Brand of Damnation. If you don't have Enraged Regeneration ready you can go in Defensive Stance and use Impending Victory instead, especially later in the fight when Smolderon does more damage because of Heating Up.
• Use Spell Reflection with Brand of Damnation or Overheated. These 2 spells come simultaneously, and you always either soak the Brand of Damnation or get the Overheated debuff.

Tindral Sageswift, Seer of the Flame Tips

• Use Fury Warrior Raid Cleave Talents, except drop Bitter Immunity to pick up Wrecking Throw.
• Because of Heroic Leap you can easily adjust where you soak Seed of Flame, therefore you can take the most difficult Seed for yourself. Look for big clumps, far away or sneaky spawns and then grab them with Heroic Leap.

Offensive Cooldown Usage

• Avatar is used in phase 1 to remove Mass Entanglement when it overlaps with Fire Beam.
• While casting Supernova Tindral gets an absorb shield, use Wrecking Throw at that time.

Defensive Cooldown Usage

• Use Spell Reflection when Tindral casts Falling Star.
• Go in Defensive Stance when flying between platforms.

Fyrakk the Blazing Tips

• Use Fury Warrior Raid Cleave Talents, except drop Bitter Immunity to pick up Wrecking Throw.
• In Phase 3 you should always save Heroic Leap for Eternal Firestorm. This way if you get the Firestorm yourself it is trivial to place it well, but also because if you did not get targeted by Firestorm you can then help backup for the assigned Seed of Amirdrassil holders.

Offensive Cooldown Usage

• In the first intermission Fyrakk casts Corrupt, when the absorb shield is up use Wrecking Throw.
• Fury Warrior is amazing at dealing damage to both the big and the small adds in Phase 2, therefore you should use your cooldowns on them unless they die too quickly. The timeline provided is using cooldowns on the adds.
• When the first big adds spawn from Greater Firestorm, instantly use your cooldowns so you can also hit Fyrakk with Thunderous Roar before he flies away.

Defensive Cooldown Usage

• In last phase use Enraged Regeneration when targeted by Eternal Firestorm and go in Defensive Stance.
• Use Spell Reflection or Enraged Regeneration when you have Blaze in the intermission or if low hp with Blaze in phase 2.
