Players now generate 75% increased Rage when landing a critical strike with a basic attack.
Rend and Sunder Armor will now instantly tap enemies to the Warrior.
Queueing Heroic Strike will no longer increase off-hand hit chance.
Additional Rage generated from landing Critical Strikes increased to 100% increased Rage (was 75%).
Fixed a bug that was causing Dual Wield Specialization to grant its increase to Hit Chance to both weapons.
- Developers’ notes: Because of the above bug, our tests needed some correcting, so we did another pass on Fury Warrior.
Arms

- Fixed an issue with Unbridled Rage having a lower proc chance than intended.
- Developers’ notes: Our goal here is to give Fury more access to utility and meaningful choices early in the tree for leveling, and free up points later for more choices instead of being stuck placing points into Enrage to get Flurry.
- Booming Voice is now a 10/20/30/40/50% increase area of effect to your Shouts and a 5/10/15/20/25% reduction to their Rage costs.

- Berserker Rage is now available at level 30 (Was 32)
- Bloodthirst’s Attack Power ratio has been increased to 45% (Was 35%).
Protection

Sunder Armor: Corrected the threat values on all ranks, including a small increase to threat generated from Attack Power.
Protection
- Swapped the positions of the Bastion (Row 5) and Focused Rage (Row 6) talents.
  - Developers’ notes: We wanted to give players Focused Rage sooner to smooth out progression, as opposed to more damage from Bastion. This should smooth out some of the feeling while leveling as Protection before obtaining Shield Slam.
Arms
- Bloodthrill’s chance to activate increased to 4/8/12/16/20% (was 2/4/6/8/10%).
- Bloodthrill only activates off of Main Hand melee attacks. This includes Cleave and Heroic Strike.
