Warriors: Give Sword Spec and Enrage Info

[keboman]

I heard it's a lot like it was early in Test for sword spec and the enrage nerf is worse than a lot of people thought on gameplay. Any truth to it? Give infos plzkthx.

- Enrage - The talent will now grant 5/10/15/20/25% extra damage when enraged, instead of 8/16/24/33/40%. (hi @ -50% DMG-Output while enraged)

- Unbridled Wrath - Only normal melee swings will trigger the rage generation from this ability. (HS/WW are special attacks and they will not trigger rage generation anymore)

- Sword Specialization - Special attacks such as Sinister Strike, and Mortal Strike now properly trigger the chance to gain an extra attack. (when sword spec procs of Mortal strike it replaces your normal swing)

- Sweeping Strikes - Whirlwind and Retaliation will now correctly consume the charges from Sweeping Strikes. (Cleave consumes 2 charges.. WW 4 ... )

..and the winner is Retaliation! It now has a MASSIVE ANIMATION with blades surrounding the warrior. Its like carrying a poster "MY TIMER IS NOW ACTIVATED! PLEASE STAY AWAY FOR 15 SECONDS!!!"

I noticed something very different with my rage generation (on my friend's character with an OEB) during AB.. not sure if it was all in my head though.

Oh, haha..I thought you were gonna say something about your top-end being cut off by a few thousand...sup warlocks!

[keboman]

Wait do warlocks lose now? That sounds unlikely.

Someone noticed Dark edge of insanity not beeing in the loot tables, can anyone confirm this?

[Aredennes]

After a few hundred hits yesterday, sword extra hit just over 3.75% of time, none on ms or anything.

havent really ran a procwatch yet to make sure, but it definitely seems crappier. tanking most of bwl it swd seems to proc much less (have a custom event in SCT so i get a big alert when it does)

also i havent noticed it proccing off special moves (which i thought the patch was supposed to fix)

In my opinion they nurfed the hell out of Destruction locks. They were built upon the use of vulnerability to do insane damage. Now they are consistent but warlocks dont really have heavy hitting spells besides soulfire so its kind of meh to immolate, conflag, and searing pain with 1.9.
