Secret World Legends SWL Schmidy's Guide to Fist DPS
You can store up to 100 Fury by attacking and healing with a Fist Weapon. Each set of empty beads on the Fury meter represents 100 Fury. The 6 beads on each side of the larger central bead are mirrored indicators.
Whenever you use any Fist Weapon ability, regardless of the results, you will gain an amount of Fury defined by the ability you chose. The exact amount of Fury gained can be found in the description of each ability. Once you have accumulated 60 Fury you can cast either of the two Primal Wrath abilities, if you have them equipped.
Casting either of the two Primal Wrath abilities will swap all of your equipped abilities for a new predetermined set of normally inaccessible abilities. These new abilities are more powerful than regular abilities, but you can only cast them until your Fury is spent. 20 points of Fury are consumed each second after a Primal Wrath ability is cast. When your Fury is depleted you will revert back to your normally equipped abilities. This means that you will always have at least 3 seconds of Primal Wrath, and up to 5 seconds with full Fury.
Fury does not decay.
