PvE Fury Warrior Stat Priority
The stat priority of Fury Warriors is very similar to that of other melee DPS classes, and particularly other strength users. In the briefest terms possible, you will want to focus on hit rating until cap, then expertise rating until cap, then armor penetration rating until cap, and then go all out with strength after you’ve reached all the caps.
Fury Warriors have a unique gimmick in the Armored to the Teeth talent, which allows us to gain attack power from our armor value, incentivizing us to go for plate gear over leather or mail. This ultimately doesn’t change things all that much, however.

Hey there folks, I am Nevermore and have been deeply passionate about WoW for more than a decade. Whether we talk about the hidden mysteries of Azeroth or the otherworldly Outland, my journey brought me here to share the things that I have experienced with you all.
Can you give the stat weights also?
Heya, we can’t really give stat weights because they will depend on your gear. You have to use a simulator program to find your own stat weights!
Where can i find a good simulator?
The commonly used sim is the WoWSims Simulator found at https://wowsims.github.io/wotlk/
The stat priority is not correct. Early in the expansion arp is garbage. Arp scales exponentially, the more you have the better it becomes so with the little arp available before ICC you should really socket strength. I did test it back in the day when WOTLK was around the first time.
Did u test it with full arp gems/gear and executioner/grim tol procs by chance?
Claims without evidence aren’t good.
This ^ You aren’t going to get your ArP to a level where it’s worth stacking in Naxx gear. We essentially have to wait until it shows up all over our gear to start stacking it. Looking at you, Voldrethar.
