The World of Warcraft Legion Fury Warrior Artifact Weapon page explains the best possible choices for the Netherlight Crucible, important traits and relic bonuses, and how to progress through your artifact weapon Warswords of the Valarjar. This guide is written and maintained by

Artifacts in Battle for Azeroth
As of June 26th, completing the quest
The Power in Our Hands
will further empower your Artifact Weapon, enabling all traits and at least
Concordance of the Legionfall
level 75, further increasing in power over time until the Battle for Azeroth pre-expansion patch.
Therefore, only the Netherlight Crucible recommendations are relevant on this guide page leading up to BFA, as you already receive all Artifact Traits by default. This makes content easier to complete, especially some
content going away
such as
Ahead of the Curve
and
Mage Tower Challenges
.
In the
BFA pre-patch
, your Artifact Traits will be removed, and relics will simply increase the item level of your artifact weapon. However, many artifact traits are returning as talents or azerite powers in Battle for Azeroth and we have a compiled a
full list you can read here
.
Moving forward in Battle for Azeroth, you will still be able to acquire the Artifact Weapon which will mainly interest transmog collectors for the appearances. Learn how to unlock all appearances in BFA with our
Artifact Appearance Guide
.
Artifact Weapon:
Warswords of the Valarjar
Netherlight Crucible
The
Netherlight Crucible
is a new system added in Patch 7.3. The Crucible allows you further empower your Artifact Weapon, by specializing and increasing the power from your relics. With it, each relic receives a small talent tree that you can select new traits from, depending how many traits your weapon have. Do not worry, however, because with the changes to
Artifact Knowledge
, unlocking the full power of the Crucible won't take long. Learn everything about this new system in our
Netherlight Crucible Guide
. With the opening of
Antorus, the Burning Throne
, it is now possible to obtain
Insignia of the Grand Army
, which increases the potency of your Tier 2 Crucible traits by 50%. It might be a really strong legendary if you are lucky with Netherlight Crucible rolls!
Here are the most powerful traits for the Fury Warrior Artifact:

Recommended Build Path
The first goal for the Fury Warrior Artifact is to push
Odyn's Champion
and
Helya's Wrath
. While this path doesn't net an early notable trait, the path to get there is extremely efficient, gathering of the most powerful damage traits, without any "wasted" points in defensive or utility ones.
The target for raid content is
Juggernaut
, which will be gained at 20 points, and should be obtainable by the time raids becomes available. Finish out by collecting
Sense Death
, which is minor, but efficient enough for only one point.
Unfortunately walled behind a defensive trait,
Rage of the Valarjar
should be the last notable taken.
The remaining three traits can be taken at your leisure, offering no critical bonuses, but ultimately unlock the empowerment trait, Titanic Power.
Note: For those players not pursuing raid content,
Juggernaut
can be skipped in favor of taking
Rage of the Valarjar
earlier.
Uncontrolled Rage
is also very effective in open-world and dungeon content, and so can be taken earlier than recommended if so desired.
Next flesh out the fourth point in all other DPS traits; Raging Berserker, Wrath and Fury, Unstoppable, Deathdealer, and Wild Slashes.
Finally, flesh out the remainder four point traits, Uncontrolled Rage, Battle Scars, and Bloodcraze, which will culminate in unlocking Concordance of the Legionfall.
