Laugh if you like, but slam is handy with a slow two-hander. I like it more than Mortal Strike. It's got a low rage cost, and after the 2.0.1 patch, the Improved talent costs just two points and reduces the cast time by a full second. If you are sitting at 100 rage, chaining six or seven Slams in the span of just a few seconds is obscene.

Does slam reset the attack timer now?

Hmm, the Wowhead explanation states that the weapon damage, when calculated for the purposes of Slam, is not "normalised." Does that mean that it is much better to use a Slow 3.8s 2her and just spam it like no tommorrow?

Btw, I have analysed Slam v Mortal Strike. I am assuming that you can spam it. Please correct me if I'm wrong...

Assumptions:
1. Slam is NOT talented to 0.5s casting time.
2. Weapon damage (W) and speed are identical (weapon speed = 3.3)
3. We track the damage over 6 seconds.
4. Attack powers are identical (1400).
5. Rage requirements are fulfilled.
6. No crits occur.

Mortal Strike-Hit-Mortal Strike
In 6.0s, you get 1 mortal strike at 0s, 1 normal swing at 3.3s, 1 mortal strike at 6s.

Damage:
Mortal Strike 1: W + 210
Normal Swing: W + 1400/14
Mortal Strike 2: W + 210

Total = 3W + 520 @ 60 - X
(X = amount of rage you gain from the interim Normal Swing)
Total damage per rage point is more than 0.05W + 8.667
Exact damage per rage point = (3W + 520)/(60 - X)

Slam Spam
In 6.0s, you get 5 slams at 0s, 1.5s, 3.0s, 4.5s, 6.0s

Damage:
Slam: W + 140

Total = 4W + 560 @ 75 rage
Exact damage per rage point = 0.053W + 7.467

Sounds to me that when Slam is UNTALENTED, MS is likely to outdamage Slam overall. However, if Slam is TALENTED, you could take advantage of an interim swing AND spam it 5 times in the same period.

does this stun or break spells?

I don't think a mob or opposing player will survive 24 auto attacks + 12 MS/Slam assuming you will use rend and overpowered whenever possible.

Remember that Slam is also affected by impale so the extra "white hit + damage" you'll gain is clearly more than a white hit with that much bonus damage, given a 2h warrior's huge chance to crit in raids.

I think it is a good skill to use when you level up, because of the lack of instant skills, you have to use heroic strike. Until you get mortal strike or blood thrist, this should be the best rage dumping skill.

note:
However slam dps is quite advanced for a leveling warrior.

I'm still a bit confuzzled as to wether slam is supposed to go off right after or right before an auto-attack...can someone clarify?

Kommentar von 180212

Can Slam cause a Windfury proc? Now that would be awesome.

Kommentar von 104026

can anyone confirm that slam no longer resets the swing timer in wotlk?

did I just randomly hear this from someone?

Kommentar von 138573

Slam consume charge from flurry?

Kommentar von 195264

well i have one question:why nobody as PvP warrior uses Improved Slam? it should greatly cut ur casting time so i dont undertand it or maybe it idoestn depends much...

Kommentar von 196486

Alright guys, one question. Do you guys agree that slam should now be an arms skill? considering the fact that it will only shave down a tiny bit of attack delay.

Say we all Spec fury and all have Titan's Grip, we would attack every rotation like so: (with 2 2handers with speeds of 3.6secs each.

So MH happens once every 3.6 secs and so does OH,

So DPS should be:

1.8secs MH (say 4k)
1.8secs OH(say 1k)

Slam:1.5secs MH (say 4k)
Slam: MH 1.5secs (say 4k)
(it's affective but not if you dont have Titan's Grip in my opinion.)

Now check it. slam would be affective a tiny bit still but still not as affective as imp HS, better rage usage.

Please comment I need help in how to spec. :)

Most of this is useless now, because as of 3.0 Slam suspends your swing timer instead of resetting it.

I wish they would change slam to an instant cast melee stun, and change the talent concussion blow to compensate protection warriors.
