Notes
Impale increases your critical damage for special attacks by 20%. Essentially, a critical strike with any special ability (such as Heroic Strike, Mortal Strike, Slam, etc.) will do 220% damage. This is an excellent talent for any crit-oriented warrior. It is important to note that this does not affect "regular" critical strikes, also known as white critical strikes that result from auto-attacks and not special abilities.
Example 1 (without Impale): Your Heroic Strike hits for 500. Without having talent points in Impale, the critical strike bonus would be (500*200%) = 1000.
Example 2 (with Impale): Two talent points in Impale add 20% to the critical strike bonus damage. If your Bloodthirst hits for 600, your Bloodthirst critical strike would be (600*220%) = 1320.
