After Charge, use Bloodrage and apply Rend. Mortal Strike is your main attack. Hold 30 Rage for when its cooldown returns, but keeping up Rend and using Overpower still come first. Use Victory Rush when it lights up. Put spare Rage into Slam, then Thunder Clap and Sunder Armor, and use Heroic Strike only above 40 Rage. Finish nearly dead enemies with auto attacks and carry your Rage to the next pull. From here on, switch your armor to Plate Mail.

Solo

• Saving RageFinish nearly dead enemies with auto attacks, then Charge the next one before your Rage decays.
• RunnersHumanoids flee at low health. Slow them with Hamstring before they bring more enemies.
• Taking less damageUse Demoralizing Shout early in the fight against hard-hitting or multiple melee enemies.
• Recovering healthWithin 20 sec of a kill, Victory Rush restores 10% of your maximum health.
• SurroundedIn Battle Stance, Retaliation counterattacks enemies hitting you from the front for 15 sec. It has a 15 min cooldown, so save it.
• Getting outIntimidating Shout sends nearby enemies fleeing, so you can kill your target or get away.
• Giants, dragonkinUse Spearing Strike first on giants, dragonkin and mounted enemies. On anything else, only use it with Rage to burn.
• Two enemiesCarry Rage into a two-enemy pull and turn on Sweeping Strikes. Put Rend on both, then hit both at once with Slam and Cleave.
• Distant enemiesIn combat, switch to Berserker Stance and use Intercept on a distant enemy. It stuns for 3 sec.
• Stopping fearAgainst fear casters, use Berserker Rage in Berserker Stance first. You're immune to Fear and Incapacitate for 10 sec.
• Tough elitesSave Recklessness in Berserker Stance for tough elites. You take 20% more damage for 15 sec.

Party

Deal two-handed damage without pulling threat.

• ThreatWait for the tank to gather enemies before using Cleave. Enemies the tank has barely hit will turn on you.
• Two targetsWhen two enemies are together, turn on Sweeping Strikes and hit both with Slam and Cleave.
• Area damageWhen the tank gathers four or more, switch to Berserker Stance and use Whirlwind. Improved Tactical Mastery keeps 25 Rage, so you can use it right after switching.
• Switching targetsWhen Overpower opens, use it on that enemy before switching, or you lose it.
• Finishing bossesBelow 20% health, spend your remaining Rage on Execute on bosses. Save it on trash with more enemies ahead.
• DebuffsCoordinate with your tank so Demoralizing Shout isn't applied twice.
• InterruptsInterrupt dangerous casts with Pummel in Berserker Stance. Keep 10 Rage for it.
• Protecting alliesIf an enemy goes for the healer, switch to Defensive Stance and use Taunt to hold it briefly. Switch back once it's under control.

• Lodestone from Mining is the best pick, but it doesn't stack with a paladin's Blessing of Might; in a group with a paladin, take Sharpening Wheel from Blacksmithing instead.
• Tailoring camps give Spirit and Alchemy camps give mana regen, so neither does much for a warrior.
