Azeroth Survivors Warrior build reference for v0.131.0: The documented default opener is Cleave. A Fury idea emphasizes Whirlwind; Arms and Protection change the problem rather than simply adding more of the same damage. Start by deciding whether you want repeated nearby hits, a bleed-linked route or a shield-oriented route. Set your actual point budget before reviewing the route; a later starting-skill change may not exist at an early checkpoint.
The planning idea
Start by deciding whether you want repeated nearby hits, a bleed-linked route or a shield-oriented route. Whirlwind rewards being close enough to hit, so a plan also needs an answer to enemies that make that position unsafe.
Early decisions
Keep the starting attack useful before copying a late capstone. In the current-points view, check which of the target’s attack triggers actually exists at your stage. A finished Bladestorm route should not be treated as an identical low-point opening.
Choices & alternatives
The checked definitions distinguish kill-triggered Whirlwinds through Rampage from Bladestorm, which adds Whirlwind to the starting skills while retaining Cleave. Those are different conditions. Keep a boss-focused option visible when a plan relies on repeated kills.
Equipment conditions
Use equipment descriptions to identify recovery or damage-reduction choices you can actually obtain. Record missing pieces rather than assuming the demonstrated gear is already equipped.
When the plan falls short
Crowd damage, boss uptime and survival are three separate checks. A large pack clearing quickly does not prove the same route handles an isolated boss.
Load starting idea
Starting ideas are editable editorial drafts based on source-checked fields, not completed-run benchmarks.
Evidence
Editorial planning idea, not a tested clear. Compare the same zone and gear with a recorded Whirlwind route; note time spent unable to approach the boss. Relevant current-client fields are primary-checked; this is not a damage benchmark.
