Death Wish

Warrior · Fury · Row 5 of 7 · Single rank
Changed from Classic Active ability

Death Wish sits in row 5 of the Warrior Fury tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It costs just one point. So the only question is whether opening its row fits your build.

Changed from Classic. This talent now works differently than in Classic, so read the ranks below before you spend any points.

10 Rage | Instant | 3 min cooldown

What Death Wish does at each rank

A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.

Rank 1: When activated, increases your Physical damage done by 20% and makes you immune to Fear effects, but increases all damage you take by 5%. Lasts 30 sec.

How to reach Death Wish

Row 5 opens after you spend 20 points in the earlier Fury rows. Level 30 is the earliest you can pick up Death Wish.

Is Death Wish worth the points?

One point gives you the full effect. The real cost is opening row 5. That is 20 points in the rows above, so take it when the talent or the picks it unlocks suits your build.

What it unlocks

Once Death Wish is maxed, it opens this talent deeper in the tree: Bloodthirst.
