Heroic Throw is a high-level ability that allows a Warrior to fling their weapon like a boomerang, dealing damage then returning the weapon to their hand. The most obvious usage of this ability is to make a ranged pull, as opposed to the up-close and personal Charge.

Notes
- When tanking, this ability can prove useful for making ranged pulls as opposed to using a proper ranged weapon. The additional threat from this attack is also a great boon for holding aggro on a single mob. Using this ability for ranged pulls instead of using a ranged weapon also frees up bag space that would normally be used to hold ammunition.
- The attack's animation shows your weapon flying through the air, despite the aerodynamic (or unareodynamic) properties of the weapon.
Talent improvement
- Gag Order: Has a 50%/100% chance of silencing the target for 3 seconds on a successful hit.
Tips and tactics
- This ability has a lot of crossover utility with the Warbringer talent. This ability could be used first to get a mob's attention, then Charge before the creature gets too close. In addition, this can be used to pull multiple targets: Shoot one mob, Heroic Throw a second (preferably a caster of some sort, if combined with Gag Order), then Charge a third. The additional rage from Charge can then be used to throw a Thunder Clap, increasing your threat on all three foes.
