BLIZZARD OCTOBER 1–2 NOTESOfficial

October 1–2 Beta changes for Warrior

Official Beta announcement · Blizzard’s October 1 development notes · October 2 Warrior follow-up

October 2 superseded the earlier 75% critical-strike Rage increase: critical strikes now generate 100% extra Rage.

Fury Improved Cleave and Boundless Rage were removed. Lingering Rage was added in row 2, Furious Precision in row 3, and Gore Drinker in row 6.

Fury Flurry now requires Death Wish rather than Enrage; Improved Berserker Rage moved to row 5 from row 6.

Protection Toughness was removed. Iron Will moved from Fury row 2 to Protection row 1; Anticipation moved to row 2, Improved Bloodrage to row 1, Improved Revenge to row 2, Improved Disarm to row 3, and Improved Shield Bash to row 4.

The October 1 notes removed Dual Wield Specialization’s previous 20–100% off-hand Rage modifier; the October 2 follow-up removed its off-hand Hit bonus. Current rank text is separately community sourced. Arms Spearing Strike no longer needs a two-handed weapon but does require Battle Stance.

Booming Voice, Unbridled Wrath, Blood Craze, Raging Blows, Unbridled Rage, and Bloodthirst also received Fury tuning in the official notes.

The live Beta level cap is 30. The talent structure was reconciled through 1.60.1.70291; 21-point Level 30 routes are editorial allocations. Rank descriptions retain their separate community transcription evidence, and point-order rules remain derived assumptions.

Blizzard raised the playable Beta cap to Level 30 on October 1. The current 21-point routes use the reviewed 1.60.1.70291 Warrior tree; the Level 20 page preserves the earlier 11-point opening allocations.

Choose Arms when stance pressure and Spearing Strike mounted-target control fit the encounter. Choose Fury when Piercing Howl and the selected Blood Craze/Enrage package matter during incoming attacks. These are distinct editorial allocations in the reviewed tree; no match win-rate ranking is established. Protection talent data is available, but its PvP page still has no reviewed allocation.
