Good for
- Mage · PvETop pick
Orc Mage is new, and Blood Fury is 10% Spell Power for 15 seconds on a 3 minute cooldown. Shatter Curse clears Curses and cuts magic damage taken by 5%.
- Warrior · DPSTop pick
Blood Fury is 10% Attack Power for 15 seconds on a 3 minute cooldown, Hardiness cuts stun duration by 20%, and that is the whole kit now that the October 26 pass swapped Savage for Command, which only feeds pets. Still the best Horde Warrior race, on the strength of the active.
- Hunter · PvP
Blood Fury adds 10% Attack Power, Hardiness shortens every stun, and Shatter Curse dispels Curses and Banes with 5% magic damage reduction.
- Rogue · PvETop pick
Blood Fury is 10% Attack Power every 3 minutes and Hardiness makes you 20% harder to stun-lock. Savage is gone since the October 26 pass, so the passive edge over Troll is smaller.
- Shaman · EnhancementTop pick
Blood Fury is 10% Attack Power and Spell Power on the same button, which is exactly how the new Enhancement scales. Savage was removed in the October 26 pass.
- Warlock · PvETop pick
Blood Fury is 10% Spell Power on demand. Shatter Curse is a curse and bane cleanse with magic damage reduction, which matters in a game where Warlocks use Banes.
