Just switched to the new Arms tree using a 2H sword. Never used Mortal strike before ( was Fury )and am not sure how best to use it for solo PvE work. Do you use MS when your rage is full , anytime you can, or just after a swing(like slam)? Also what swing rotation would you recommend for max dps? Does MS replace the need for Heroic Strike?

Thanks

I am not Arms at this point, but i think you have a misconception on MS (unless they changed it significantly in 3.0.2)

MS is used to damage the target and lessen it healing advantage. It does not and should not replace HS but should be used prior to the mob healing itself or gaining healing from another mob. you get no more damage based on rage so use it any time you have the rage and think the mob will heal or be healed. I used to drop it as soon as i could and then renew as it wore off.

I'd use MS on cooldown, Re-apply rend, Overpower on CD or availability, and then use slam when nothing else is available.

OR

MS on cooldown, WW on cooldown, execute when you can, slam when you have nothing else to do.

Slam works very well now. It delays your attacks, but does not reset your swing timer. So your slams act exactly like you pressed the button for slam at 0 ms lag perfectly after a white attack.

Just get a feel for your cooldowns, and use slam when you have seconds left on WW and MS.

Great info. So now we don't have to use a swing timer in order to effectively use Slam. Rate up!
