Baseline ability changes trainable · 9
From damage taken and your swings. Slower weapons give more Rage a swing, so it comes in at a steady rate. Out of combat you lose 1.25 Rage a second. From the Rage tooltip and Blizzard's Class Highlights video (0:23).
Baseline, Arms tab. Instant, 30 sec cooldown: a melee hit that heals 10% of your max health, within 20 sec of a non-trivial kill. Read off Soda's stream via a reader.
A passive in the Arms tab now, not a talent: keep up to 10 Rage when you change stances, and Improved Tactical Mastery adds up to 15 more. From Soda's Warrior video via a reader.
Unchanged from Classic: level 30 in the Fury tab, ranks at 42 and 52. Improved Intercept stays in the Fury tree.
A new rank 1 at 20; Classic's four ranks follow at 30, 38, 46 and 54, one rank number higher. 18 sec cooldown now (Classic had none).
Works in Battle or Defensive Stance. Rank 4 slows attacks 20% for 22 sec on up to 4 targets (Classic 10%). Xaryu's stream via a reader; the Classic number from the files.
Still there, Protection tab: 20% of your base health for 10 Rage, plus 10 more over 10 sec.
Changed: 15 min cooldown, 60% less damage for 12 sec (Classic 30 min, 75% for 10 sec). No shared cooldown with Retaliation and Recklessness any more: each has its own timer, and Blizzard's Class Highlights video (1:14) says so. Two readers flagged it first.
Changed: 2 charges and 7 sec (Classic 1 block for 5 sec). Still 10 Rage, 5 sec cooldown, Defensive Stance. From a Tyler1 spellbook screenshot a reader sent in.
