Little add on to this is on pull timer in raid environments use Battle Shout + Berserker rage for the bonus rage and then precast shattering throw for the armor reduction
Couple notes: sweeping strikes does not work with Cleave, only single target abilities. And for heroic raiding you will be taking incite not blood and thunder talent so you cannot use thunder clap to spread rend. You could make an off spec for trash and multi target fights but tbh not necessary. Also the expertise cap you want is 26% not 14%
Yeah I use the incite build for boss fights and smaller pulls of 1-3 targets, then I use blood and thunder for large trash pulls inbetween, would definiteley say it's worth it for the amount of damage rend + bladestorm does!
Do you have a leveling guide for Warrior? Great video! Ty for making it I’m stepping into the cataclysm expansion and having a blast with Arms leveling
Dodge cap is 6.5% (26 points) Parry cap is 14% (56 points) If you're behind the target you can actually ignore the parry cap and don't have to go as high!
You want a skill of 26 expertise or a 781 rating in order to be dodge capped. There are no % other than the reduction it provides to either dodge or parry.
Battle should is generally better but remember it doesnt stack with the DK ability or shamans totem I dont think so if you already have one thats doing that buff, commandings better
Because the lambs to the slaughter talent makes your MS increase other abilities damage. After rend is applied your goal should be to get 3 stacks of slaughter as quick as possible. Colossus smash is typically my 3rd global that I use after rend and MS -90 parsing arms war (heroic)
Little FYI, Slam keeps casting while moving so mobility is not an issue with slam!
I was thinking the same, besides it’s only .5 second cast

Also do yourself a favor and macro your stance changes with your abilities, you should never manually stance change.

Quick tip - heroic strike does not have gcd
So do we just ignore whirlwind now?
Mate how many overpowers are you looking to land when switching to battle stance and have the tfb procs?
Is there a way to reliably trigger back to back overpower procs?
all guides say 24% or 26% expertise, not 14%? :D
Dodge cap is 6.5% (26 points)
Parry cap is 14% (56 points)
If you're behind the target you can actually ignore the parry cap and don't have to go as high!

@@matthewlarkins4561 go look in your stats lol expertise is a percentage in cata. 26% is the expertise soft cap don’t overcomplicate it for people
Tnx
shouldn't you use Battle shout when extra rage is needed instead of commanding shout for the extra 500+ strength it gives?
Yes whichever one you're responsible for keeping up! Just note the glyphs will change depending on which one you're using

Why not use colossus smash before mortal strike ?
Cause Icy Veins wrote it that way! Probably.

@@kylebraymen2483thanks man I’ll give it a try
@@kylebraymen2483 heroic strike is better than slam?
@@iccarus5620 slam is better with slaughter stacks. And cheaper. Heroic strike only on high rage and battle trance procs
