Spell changes
Hover an icon for the tooltip. Changed spells also show how they worked before.
Deep Wounds
Periodic bleed; faster ticks preserve base duration. Haste makes this periodic effect happen more often without shortening its base duration.
Test of Might
Rage spent while Colossus Smash or Warbreaker is active on enemies grants 1% Strength per 20 Rage after the last debuff expires, up to 10% for 10 seconds.
Arms: Opportunistic Overpower
Your successful main-hand auto attacks have a 15% chance to cast a free Overpower at your target. Overpower's triggered strike cannot recursively trigger this passive.
Mortal Strike
A successful Tactician proc automatically casts one free Mortal Strike at its valid proc target within 5 yards and line of sight; otherwise try the selected enemy, then combat victim. If none qualifies, skip the extra strike while preserving the Overpower reset.
Tactician
Retain the Rage-spend chance and Colossus Smash/Mortal Strike reset; cast one free Mortal Strike and reset Overpower without recursive procs.
Overpower
Successful main-hand auto attacks have a 15% chance to cast free Overpower; Tactician resets its cooldown; Overpower empowers Mortal Strike.
Execute
A Rage gain that would overflow the cap queues one free Execute after a 100ms coalescing delay; if no enemy below 20% health is within 5 yards and line of sight, retry every 0.25 seconds while the Arms owner is alive with at least 20 Rage, until cast or invalidated by life/spec/resource.
Cleave
Enable Mortal Strike and Execute splash to nearby enemies after use.
Sweeping Strikes
While active, Legion jump aura makes Arms Mortal Strike and Execute hit two additional nearby enemies; automatic echoes cannot recursively jump.
Warbreaker
AoE Colossus Smash; every 20 Rage spent reduces its cooldown by 1 second.
Bladestorm
Each successful Arms Bladestorm impact has a 25% chance to trigger a free Tactician Mortal Strike, with one proc roll per owner per 500 ms across all targets.
Impending Victory
Strong instant self-heal; kills reset cooldown.

Sudden Death
Learn Sudden Death baseline: successful main-hand or off-hand auto attacks can automatically cast a free Execute at that enemy, regardless of health; Execute cannot recursively trigger Sudden Death.
Fury: Automatic Bloodthirst
Your successful main-hand and off-hand auto attacks have a 15% chance to automatically cast a free Bloodthirst at the same enemy. This proc cannot trigger itself.
Fury: Enraged Raging Blow
While Enraged, your successful main-hand and off-hand auto attacks have a 15% chance to cast a free Raging Blow. Raging Blow can repeat: the first repeat has a 25% chance and each later chance is halved; a cast can repeat at most six times.
Furious Slash
No active Fury button: remove stale Furious Slash from learned spell state during specialization learning. Auto attacks can trigger Bloodthirst and, while Enraged, Raging Blow.
Bloodthirst
Criticals can Enrage you; successful main-hand and off-hand auto attacks have a 15% chance to automatically cast a free Bloodthirst at the same target, and triggered Bloodthirst cannot recursively proc.

Rampage
Each strike cleaves up to five enemies within 8 yards of the primary target; Rage overflow automatically casts Rampage when cost is available and retries at most every 0.25 seconds until a valid nearby target exists or the Rage/specialization/life condition ends.
Whirlwind
Meat Cleaver enables next Bloodthirst, Raging Blow and Rampage cleave.
Bloodbath
Fury Bloodthirst and its Meat Cleaver hits apply the six-tick 113344 bleed; Haste increases tick frequency without shortening its six-second duration.

Ravager
Periodic spinning weapon AoE; Haste increases its hit rate without shortening its base duration.
Recklessness
Every 100 Rage actually spent reduces Recklessness cooldown by 1 second; partial costs accumulate.
Bladestorm

Impending Victory
Strong self-heal; kills reset cooldown.
Bladestorm Off-Hand
Legion support payload for Bladestorm: You become a whirling storm of destructive force, striking all nearby targets with your off-hand weapon for $sw2 Physical damage.
