Mortal Strike is a significantly powerful attack in the Mortal Strike warrior's arsenal and is usually relied on as one of the top sources of this kind of warrior's DPS; it delivers potent burst damage along with a significant debuff that reduces the effect of all healing abilities on that target by half, for the duration of the debuff (10 seconds).

Talent improvement
- Impale increases the critical strike damage bonus by 20% from 100% to 120%.
- Poleaxe Specialization increases the chance to crit and the critical strike damage while using an axe or a polearm.
- Deep Wounds leaves your target with a bleed debuff, dealing 48% of your melee weapon's average damage over 6 sec.
- Improved Mortal Strike reduces the cooldown of your Mortal Strike ability by 1 sec and increases the damage it causes by 10%.
- Juggernaut gives a 25% increased crit chance on the next Mortal Strike or Slam after using Charge
Notes
Useful in organized PvP to stop enemy healers from healing a target your group is attempting to focus fire on.
The healing reduction effect does not stack with Rogues' Wound Poison, Fury Warriors Furious Attacks, or with Hunters' Aimed Shot.
Requires a melee weapon equipped in the main hand.
Your Mortal Strike damage bonus depends on the rank of Mortal Strike you currently have. Currently, the highest rank gives a +380 damage bonus (without Improved Mortal Strike).
The 4-piece set bonus from the warrior's Tier-8.25 set, Conqueror's Siegebreaker Battlegear gives a 10% increased chance to crit with Mortal Strike and Bloodthirst.
Past changes
Mortal strike had its damage normalized.
- Bonus from attack power is calculated as followed: ATK_Power / 14 * weapon type multiplier
- Your weapon type multiplier, obviously, depends on your weapon type.
- All two-handers = 3.3
- All one-handers that are NOT daggers = 2.4
- Daggers = 1.7
Mortal Strike with one- and two-handed weapons
Your Mortal Strike will deal more damage when used in conjunction with a Two-hander because it: a) gets a higher attack power damage bonus (modifier 3.3 instead of 2.4), and b) the base weapon damage is higher than the one of a comparable one-handed weapon.
