How to play dungeons at level 55

Your combat loop

Press the first one that is ready.

Fury’s own loop, from level 20. Before that every Warrior plays the same loop.

Own loop from: Fury level 20Arms level 25

Use Bloodthirst and Whirlwind, with Rend and Overpower from Battle Stance. It does 7% more than Bloodthirst and Whirlwind.

Keep up:
  1. Death Wish Cooldown · every 3 min

    Use it whenever it is ready, every 180 sec. It raises the rest.

  2. Bloodrage For rage · every 60 sec

    Use it whenever it is ready, every 60 sec, for rage.

  3. Reckless Swings For rage · every 15 sec

    Use it whenever it is ready, every 15 sec, for rage.

  4. Berserker Rage For rage · every 30 sec

    Use it whenever it is ready, every 30 sec, for rage.

  5. Execute Rank 4 Below 20% health

    Once the target is below 20% health, use it first.

    17% of your damage
  6. Overpower Rank 3 When it lights up

    Use it when it lights up, after a dodge.

    9% of your damage
  7. Bloodthirst Rank 3 Every 6 sec

    Use it whenever it is ready, every 6 sec.

    19% of your damage
  8. Whirlwind Every 8 sec

    Use it whenever it is ready, every 8 sec.

    13% of your damage
  9. Auto attack All the time

    Your weapon swings on its own. Stay in melee range.

    42% of your damage

The first 30 seconds

When to press each one from the pull. The blue line under a press is the global cooldown (1.5 sec or 1 sec) or cast it holds: nothing else on the global cooldown can go until it ends, so of two that are ready together the higher one goes first. Bloodrage is off the global cooldown, so it has no line and goes alongside.
