[Sajakain 104]

 

=============================================================

 

This thread will be used as the round table in which we discuss our Tier 18 set bonuses, warriors! This tier brings us the Battlegear of Iron Wrath which is obtained in Hellfire Citadel. As with the last tier, we have three different recolors / skins and they are provided for preview below:

• Battlegear of Iron Wrath (Normal)
• Battlegear of Iron Wrath (Heroic)
• Battlegear of Iron Wrath (Mythic)

=============================================================

 

Here are the set bonuses to this tier. 

 

2-PC Set Bonuses:

• Arms: Your Rend periodic damage ticks have a 60% chance to reset the cooldown of Mortal Strike.
• Fury: While Bloodsurge is active, your Wild Strike critical strike chance is increased by 50% and Wild Strike critical strike damage is increased by 12%
• Protection / Gladiator: Reduces the cooldown of your Last Stand ability by 50%. While in Gladiator Stance, the damage bonus from being Enraged is increased by 12%.

 

4-PC Set Bonuses:

• Arms: Your Rend deals damage 50% more often.
• Fury: Your Wild Strike critical strikes reduce the cooldown of Recklessness by 20 seconds.
• Protection / Gladiator: Shield Barrier's effect is increased by 200% when used during Last Stand. While in Gladiator Stance, your Shield Charge also causes you to Enrage.

Question about the Gladiator 2pc: does it increase Enrage's damage bonus to 11.2% ( 10% * 1.12) or to 22% (10 + 12)?  If the former that seems incredibly underwhelming.

While I haven't tested this in game, I would say it adds to it. It increases it by 12% and not to 12%, if that makes sense. With a base of 10%, the 2PC should, theoretically, make it 22%.

This is correct.

on single target boss fight with 4 set, there is no point using raging blow right all rage should beused for wild strike? pls explain ur reply

With Fury's T18, the priority literally doesn't change. Recklessness isn't powerful enough to warrant casting WS over RB, since RB's damage per rage spent is much higher than WS's. 

 

Basically, just play like if you didn't have T18 (Use Bloodsurge procs asap, and otherwise WS only to prevent rage capping) except you'll get Recklessness more often.

I guess that I'm just stupid but I don't see Bloodsurge in my Spellbook or in my Talent tree.  Where can I find it?  And you talk as though it's Passive.  Is it?

Bloodsurge is a passive spell. It's also hidden. When you use Bloodthirst, you have a 20% chance to have your Wild Strike proc for two charges that won't cost rage to cast and the GCD for those charges is reduced to 1 second.

 

If you're looking for this in game you can find it in two places: the first is on the tooltip for Wild Strike and the second is, when the proc actually takes place, you'll see the Bloodsurge buff in your buff frame.
