Phase 3 Gear List

This list focuses on the strongest practical T6-era setup. Keep set bonuses, hit/expertise caps and your actual raid composition in mind before replacing a strong Phase 2 item.

How to use this list: BiS is not a command to equip every listed piece immediately. Set bonuses, caps, profession gear, racial weapon skill and raid buffs can make an alternative better for your character.

Fury Warrior Stats & Caps

Use these priorities to evaluate alternatives instead of treating the BiS table as a list of mandatory replacements.

  2. 2Expertise
  3. 3Strength / Attack Power
  4. 4Haste
  5. 5Crit
Raid caps

Know the cap before you swap gear

Special attacks need 9% hit, while dual-wield white swings have a much higher miss cap. Hit can therefore continue to have value after the special cap, but expertise and strong weapon upgrades are also premium.

Raid composition, talents, racials and debuffs can change the amount you need from gear.

Best Gems & Enchants

These are strong Phase 3 defaults. Socket bonuses and cap requirements can make a hybrid gem better than a pure throughput gem.

Before the drop

Phase 3 Gearing Alternatives

Black Temple and Hyjal loot is contested. A strong gearing plan needs more than one path.

Alternative path

Weapon damage matters most

A weapon upgrade can outweigh several small armor upgrades for Arms, Fury and Retribution.

Alternative path

Respect expertise and hit

Do not swap out a cap-fixing piece unless the new combination keeps your attacks reliable.

Alternative path

Set bonuses still matter

Evaluate the complete gear set, not one item in isolation.

Phase 3 context

Gearing priorities

Fury gearing emphasizes two strong weapons, hit and expertise, attack power, crit and haste with careful set-bonus tradeoffs.

Phase 3 is centered on Black Temple and Hyjal Summit, but several Phase 2, crafted and reputation pieces remain competitive. The source column makes it easy to plan upgrades boss by boss.
