## 2022-07-24 — Class Changes (Patch 1.16.1)
Source: [Post 20251](https://forum.turtlecraft.gg/viewtopic. ... 251#p20251)
### Baseline and abilities
- Thunder Clap became usable in Defensive Stance.
- Intervene was added: 10 Rage, 30-second cooldown, Defensive Stance required, acquired from a book at level 50. It runs to a party member and intercepts their next melee or ranged attack, sharing a cooldown with Intercept.
- Decisive Strike was added: 15 Rage and a 2-second cast. It focuses an attack equal to Slam Rank 4, can be cast while moving, and does not suffer cast-time pushback from damage. Improved Slam reduces its cast time.
- Die by the Sword was added as a passive acquired from a book at level 58; it increases parry chance by 20% while Retaliation is active.
### Arms
- Improved Thunder Clap (row 2) reduces Thunder Clap's cost by 1/2/4 Rage and increases its damage by 20/40/60%.
- Polearm Specialization (row 6) was combined into Axe Specialization (row 5) and renamed Poleaxe Specialization (row 5).
- Improved Disciplines (row 6) reduces Retaliation, Recklessness, and Shield Wall cooldowns by 2/4/6 minutes.
### Protection

Sources: [Post 102974](https://forum.turtlecraft.gg/viewtopic. ... 74#p102974)
### Baseline
- Rage generation was rebuilt so that 90% of the result depends on gear and 10% is predetermined by weapon speed. This substantially raises rage generation for levelers without the best weapon, dungeoneers/fresh raiders, and heavily armored opponents while keeping the top end similar. The rage-decay portion of Anger Management became baseline; its in-combat portion was compensated by the new rage formula.
- Execute was rebased and its extra-rage damage increased: Rank 1 (level 24) 125 -> 75 base damage and 3 -> 4 damage per extra rage; Rank 2 (32) 200 -> 150 and 6 -> 8; Rank 3 (40) 325 -> 225 and 9 -> 12; Rank 4 (48) 450 -> 300 and 12 -> 16; Rank 5 (56) 600 -> 375 and 15 -> 20. Execute gained a 5.5-second cooldown.

- Dual Wield is taught at level 10.
- Intervene is taught at level 20 instead of being learned from a book.
- Pummel has one rank, deals 5% of Attack Power instead of flat damage, is taught at level 18, and can be used in Battle Stance.
- Slam is taught at level 14 and pauses the weapon swing timer instead of resetting it.
- Rend scales with Attack Power.
- Out-of-combat rage decay is consistently 2 rage per 2 seconds.
- Hamstring has a 6-second cooldown.
- Sunder Armor costs 10 rage instead of 15.
- Shield Wall ends early if the shield is unequipped while the effect is active.

- Poleaxe Specialization and Sword Specialization were removed.

- Sweeping Strikes costs 20 rage instead of 30 and is no longer consumed by off-hand hits.
- New 5th-row, 3-point Precision Cut increases damage per extra rage spent on Execute by 20/40/60%.
- New 6th-row, 3-point Boundless Anger increases maximum rage by 10/20/30.
- Improved Disciplines reduces Retaliation, Recklessness, and Shield Wall cooldowns by 4/8/12 minutes instead of 2/4/6.
### Fury
- Booming Voice increases the area of effect of all shouts and its values are 12/24/36/48/60% (from 10/20/30/40/50%); this includes Intimidating Shout, Piercing Howl, and Challenging Shout.

- Bloodthirst was reworked into an instant reckless attack dealing rank-based flat damage plus 30% Attack Power, with a self-inflicted wound. Ranks: 1 (level 40/talent) 80; 2 (48) 100; 3 (56) 120; 4 (60) 150. The self-damage is half the base damage and scaling, uses armor mitigation, can critically strike, and can proc Enrage at the physical critical chance.

## 2024-12-20 — post-1.17.2 update
Source: [Post 113460](https://forum.turtlecraft.gg/viewtopic. ... 60#p113460)
- Bloodthirst no longer damages the Warrior and therefore can no longer proc Enrage. It grants 5% movement speed for 6 seconds, stacking with other movement-speed increases; its base damage increased from 80/100/120/150 to 100/130/160/200 (Ranks 1-4), and Attack Power scaling increased from 30% to 35%.

### Baseline and abilities
- Thunder Clap became usable in Defensive Stance.

- Decisive Strike was added: 15 Rage and a 2-second cast. It focuses an attack equal to Slam Rank 4, can be cast while moving, and does not suffer cast-time pushback from damage. Improved Slam reduces its cast time.
- Die by the Sword was added as a passive acquired from a book at level 58; it increases parry chance by 20% while Retaliation is active.
### Arms
- Improved Thunder Clap (row 2) reduces Thunder Clap's cost by 1/2/4 Rage and increases its damage by 20/40/60%.
- Polearm Specialization (row 6) was combined into Axe Specialization (row 5) and renamed Poleaxe Specialization (row 5).
- Improved Disciplines (row 6) reduces Retaliation, Recklessness, and Shield Wall cooldowns by 2/4/6 minutes.
### Protection

Sources: [Post 102974](https://forum.turtlecraft.gg/viewtopic. ... 74#p102974)
### Baseline
- Rage generation was rebuilt so that 90% of the result depends on gear and 10% is predetermined by weapon speed. This substantially raises rage generation for levelers without the best weapon, dungeoneers/fresh raiders, and heavily armored opponents while keeping the top end similar. The rage-decay portion of Anger Management became baseline; its in-combat portion was compensated by the new rage formula.
- Execute was rebased and its extra-rage damage increased: Rank 1 (level 24) 125 -> 75 base damage and 3 -> 4 damage per extra rage; Rank 2 (32) 200 -> 150 and 6 -> 8; Rank 3 (40) 325 -> 225 and 9 -> 12; Rank 4 (48) 450 -> 300 and 12 -> 16; Rank 5 (56) 600 -> 375 and 15 -> 20. Execute gained a 5.5-second cooldown.
- Off-hand attacks are no longer guaranteed to land while Heroic Strike is queued. Dual Wield Specialization instead grants 2/4/6/8/10% off-hand hit chance (see Fury below).
- Dual Wield is taught at level 10.
- Intervene is taught at level 20 instead of being learned from a book.
- Pummel has one rank, deals 5% of Attack Power instead of flat damage, is taught at level 18, and can be used in Battle Stance.
- Slam is taught at level 14 and pauses the weapon swing timer instead of resetting it.
- Rend scales with Attack Power.
- Out-of-combat rage decay is consistently 2 rage per 2 seconds.
- Hamstring has a 6-second cooldown.
- Sunder Armor costs 10 rage instead of 15.
- Shield Wall ends early if the shield is unequipped while the effect is active.

- Sweeping Strikes costs 20 rage instead of 30 and is no longer consumed by off-hand hits.
- New 5th-row, 3-point Precision Cut increases damage per extra rage spent on Execute by 20/40/60%.
- New 6th-row, 3-point Boundless Anger increases maximum rage by 10/20/30.
- Improved Disciplines reduces Retaliation, Recklessness, and Shield Wall cooldowns by 4/8/12 minutes instead of 2/4/6.
### Fury
- Booming Voice increases the area of effect of all shouts and its values are 12/24/36/48/60% (from 10/20/30/40/50%); this includes Intimidating Shout, Piercing Howl, and Challenging Shout.

- Bloodthirst was reworked into an instant reckless attack dealing rank-based flat damage plus 30% Attack Power, with a self-inflicted wound. Ranks: 1 (level 40/talent) 80; 2 (48) 100; 3 (56) 120; 4 (60) 150. The self-damage is half the base damage and scaling, uses armor mitigation, can critically strike, and can proc Enrage at the physical critical chance.

- Shield Specialization generates 1/2/3/4/5 rage on a block in addition to its block chance.

## 2024-12-20 — post-1.17.2 update
Source: [Post 113460](https://forum.turtlecraft.gg/viewtopic. ... 60#p113460)
- Bloodthirst no longer damages the Warrior and therefore can no longer proc Enrage. It grants 5% movement speed for 6 seconds, stacking with other movement-speed increases; its base damage increased from 80/100/120/150 to 100/130/160/200 (Ranks 1-4), and Attack Power scaling increased from 30% to 35%.
