Tips and Tactics

Two talent points well-spent in any deep-arms build. Overpower is one of the most effective moves in a warrior's arsenal, and combined with Taste for Blood and Glyph of Overpower, Overpower will be up often enough to make use of the lowered cooldown. When landing an Overpower on a player who is casting, reduces their magical damage and healing by 25/50% for 6 sec.

This talent, at two ranks, does not actually reduce the cooldown of Overpower by 4 seconds. Instead, the Global Cooldown of any other ability following Overpower is cut down to 1 second, while Overpower itself is on a 1.5 second recharge. To maximize damage, you should keep aware that Overpower will cause a syncopation of sorts in your rotation, allowing you to start the next ability in your rotation half a second sooner.

The ability also causes a curious bug with Revenge. When Revenge is enabled, this talent allows you to repeatedly spam it until it is disabled. When tanking as Arms while leveling, use this to your advantage.
