Regarding Crit Damage / Blocking / Warrior's Fury Set

MrTarkanian48

So I wanted to give the Warrior's Fury Set a try on my Werewolf Stam Sorc Heavy Armor build. My gut tells me Fury is not good, but I have several different builds and just wanted to try something new. I thought that the Fury Set might pair well with the new Wrath heavy Armor passive.

5pc. Black Rose, 5 pc. Fury. 2 pc Kena all heavy, all impen. 1H1S and DW.

It is hard for me to really test the effect of the Fury set in combat due to the short duration. I don't have many friends in opposing factions to help me test it, but may ask around if anyone can. But I was wondering if anyone knows the following:

It is my understanding that it is not possible to critically hit someone who is blocking. (This may be incorrect, so let me know if this is wrong.)

If this is correct, I am wondering how the game calculates this, as it could be a huge deal breaker for this set.

The 5pc bonus states: "When you take critical damage, your Weapon Damage is increased by 30 for 6 seconds. This effect can stack up to 25 times."

If I am blocking, am I negating all crit damage, and not allowing the set to proc? Even as tanky as this build is, I usually get low on health quickly if I never block.

You can not be crit by direct damage while blocking. DoTs however can still score crits on you and thus buff up your warriors fury set even during block.

@MrTarkanian48 hey, would you be so kind as to tag me if you have any updates with this build? I'm also curious as to what other combo's you've had good results with, asvI brought my steam sorc out of retirement and she too howls when the moon comes out

I'm running 5 br, 5 fury, 2 blood spawn for ultimate regeneration. I'm on a nord bc i wanted to make a big bit...lady, so i kept my health regen. Smb and dw too. Loving it. In full purple gear including weapons i get up to 3600wpn damage in about 20 to 30 second s, faster against dot builds or multiple enemies. 23k resistance in both, 2k health regen. No need for stamina regeneration bc of dark deal.

Steed mundus with hurricane and I'm almost sprinting at all times.

I'm looking for advice if anyone has tried this with 2h dw. I need an execute so I'm not always just waiting until good opponents are out of resources.

Blackrose/Fury (don't need kena; replace with somethign else) is extremely good
