You'll be able to return to Voidform very quickly, thanks to the Haste from your previous Voidform persisting for 20 seconds.

will Retribution still have Hammer of Wrath?

Hammer of Wrath has been removed in order to improve class/spec distinction. Warriors are intended to be the kings of the Execute mechanic, and others had crept too far into that territory. However, for those who may miss throwing Hammers, there's a snazzy new visual on Judgment that may interest you!

For BM, are you planning on keeping BW as is? And does the 15s off BW CD from DB reduce by a further 15s every time used?

Bestial Wrath is largely unchanged. Each time you use Dire Beast, the remaining cooldown on BW is reduced.

I would really like some clarification of this phrase: "and causing some demons to be favored based on the Warlock’s spec."

When all pets' damage was equal, everyone used an Imp. In Legion, each spec will slightly favor one demon for raw DPS. Affliction slightly favors Felhunters. Demonology favors Felguards, and Destruction favors Imps. Others offer strong utility.

what does 'Your Destruction spells deal up to x% additional damage, randomly' mean? how does that work?

Mastery provides a damage bonus to those spells, but it's a random % increase, up to the (very high) Mastery %. The frequency of your attacks will quickly smooth out the RNG element, but it's always possible you might prefer other stats.

Could we get an example of reliable Enhancement AOE in Legion? Would appreciated.

Enhancement has a new frontal-cone AoE spell called Crash Lightning, which also causes Stormstrike and Lava Lash to trigger AoEs.

Any details on the negative effects on Enhance shamans that hit Maelstrom cap?"They must be careful not to let it overflow"

That line is simply referring to the potential to accidentally waste it by overflowing. No other negative effects.

Searing Totem wasn't really providing compelling gameplay, so it's been removed in Legion.

Did I read correctly that Fury *takes* 30% more dmg while Enraged?

Correct. Being Enraged reduces your defenses. However, that's offset by a much higher max health, and very high self-healing. We'll tune this as needed to ensure that Fury Warriors are not a liability. 30% may not be the correct number.

It's 25% of your maximum health. So if you have 400k health, X = 100k.

Example: Boss deals 50k, 25k, 50k. You take 5k (X=50k left), 2.5k (X=25k left), 27.5k (affected first 25k, then fell off).

why would people serious about pvp reset their level for prestige and then re-level? They would lose pvp effectiveness, right?

Prestige is an optional form of progression with its own rewards. There is a related cost, and some players may choose not to do it.

How is Cheap Shot part of a rotation, surely its only a utility, stun button?


For CC purposes, it can be used as on a rotational basis. It’s not maximum DPS, but still commonly worth it for things like PvP.

Was really hoping we'd move more towards mop style tanking, i.e. good tanks are self sufficient with passive heals


That ends up taking gameplay away from healers. It’s possible to have good tanks be better, and for healers to still have tank-healing gameplay.

but Light of the Martyr? At 12.5% of total mana, seems expensive for such a small net gain in healing. Will have to wait and see.


In addition to being a no-cooldown instant spell, the healing of LotM is increased by Crit and Mastery (while the damage is not).

However, one change that didn't make it into this build's data is that LotM will no longer flow through Beacon of Light.
