This is the 1 to 85 Fury power leveling build guide for Warriors in WoW Cataclysm as of patch 4.0.6.  The fury tree is a great tree for leveling as you can take on many mobs at once or dps the sh** out of any 1 mob.  This has to be the most popular leveling build in Cataclysm right now.

In this guide I have included some gear suggestions, rotations, reforging ideas and a step by step leveling and information build.

Once you have your 31 points in the Fury tree you can literally put the rest of the points anywhere you want.  It will not hurt or change your character.  We have given our suggestions for these remaining points in this guide.

Notes

These are the best talents from 1-85 to use for leveling that go along with the best 1-85 leveling route guide: Zygor’s Leveling Guide

Gear

We want to be looking out for strength items of course.  Strength is your stat and must be maxed.

The gems to be looking for are as follows.

Red = 20 Str (Bold Cardinal Ruby)
Yellow = 10Str 10 Crit (Inscribed Ametrine)
Blue = 10Str 10 Hit (Etched Dreadstone)
Meta = 21 Critical Stike rating and 3% Increased Critical Strike Damage

Reforging

If you have any agility items, switch it for strength.

As of 4.0.3, Mastery is not worth it right now!   Critical and haste should be gotten instead.

Rotations

Single target dps rotation: Bloodthirst – Heroic Strike – Raging Blow.  We wont use slam until it becomes a skill that requires no rage.  We also want to keep battle-shout up.

If you want to AOE the rotation is:  Whirlwind and Cleave which stacks nicely with Meat Cleaver buff.
