"For Lordaeron!" "For Khaz Modan!" "For the Horde!" Azeroth has heard them all.[1]

Battle Shout is the first shout a warrior receives. It costs 10 Rage. As a shout buff, it affects all party members in its range, increasing their Attack Power.

Improvements

Ability warrior commandingshout [Booming Voice] increases the area of effect and duration.

Spell nature focusedmind [Commanding Presence] increases the attack power bonus.

Inv glyph minorwarrior [Glyph of Battle] increases the duration by 2 minute.

Notes

Does not stack with Ability warrior rallyingcry [Commanding Shout] from the same warrior. Does stack with Commanding Shout from a different warrior.

Does not stack with Spell holy greaterblessingofkings [Blessing of Might]. The stronger of the two will take precedence.

Tips and Tactics

Keep this active all the time, whether solo or in a group. In the long run, the extra damage will earn back the 10 rage it costs, and more damage is rarely a bad thing.

The maximum rank, giving 548 AP, equates to an additional 39 DPS per weapon in the group, not counting off-hand miss rate or other mitigation.

Threat generation

Before Patch 2.0.1, Battle Shout generated 55 threat for every party member who received the buff. This made it better than Ability warrior warcry [Demoralizing Shout] for gathering groups of mobs for AoE. It was also used frequently in Phase 1 of the Nefarian fight in BWL.

However, as of patch 2.0.1, Battle Shout has been 'fixed'. It now generates about 50 threat total[citation needed] , no matter how many party members got the buff. The old days of Battle Shout tanking are quite over.

The threat generated is not restricted by range (unlike Demoralizing Shout), and is divided among all the mobs that have the warrior on their hate list.

Patch changes

  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.2.0 (2009-08-04): Radius increased to 30 yards.
  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14): Battle Shout now affects ranged AP as well as melee.
  • Bc icon Patch 2.0.1 (2006-12-05): Threat generation changed (see above).
