This is a good talent to get, especially if you like to use battle stance. It will allow you to do great amounts of damage to multiple mobs at once. The only problem with this is getting enough rage in time to use it, otherwise, it

Commento di Magmy

It's also a "bugged" talent. Effects such as Death Wish/Enrage/bersking from BG...Any sort of % effect gains double of an effect on Sweeping Strikes.

As the +*% modifies your base damage, it translates a second time on the Sweeping Strikes hit. For example, if you hit for 1000 and have Death Wish going, your Sweeping Strike hit from your 1000 will hit the second target for 1200.

Another note, Sweeping Strikes generally cannot crit. It appears to be based upon your spell crit, which you most likely won't have as a Warrior, unless you're buffed from Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer, or the like.

Edit: For anybody wondering, the % bonus stacking with Sweeping Strikes was fixed in a patch around 2.1. How I miss the days of popping Death Wish and Sweeping Strikes after I Enrage and watch the second target die before the first. :[

Commento di Hirotoro

I think Rampage is underpowered. You would do well to choose sweep. However, be warned, the 5 sweeping strikes charges will deplete almost instantaneously as a dual-wielder.

Hah! But if you wish to take PvP as warrior seriously, I advise swallowing your pride and speccing Arms. I've tried both - PvP is great as Fury, but It certainly didn't work out so well.

Hmm a little comment: If you are about to engage multiple mobs, and especially tasty in instances if you're let off the threat leash, is to charge in, activate SS, hop to zerker, and spam cleave, of course using WW when it lights up. My cooldowns addon alerts me when SS is ready again. Rinse and repeat for maximum fun.

Commento di 6100

Sweeping Strikes hits cannot be dodged, missed or parried.

Sweeping Strikes charges are used up regardless whether there is a secondary target in range or not.

Coming patch 2.3, this talent will no longer require Battle Stance, making it a lot more comfortable to use.

Commento di Saryai

There are a few Fury Warriors, myself included, that embrace the change. SS will help quite a bit on a few boss fights, not to mention turning us into walking Seeds of Destruction when in 5mans/Heroics.

Please, rather than cry "ZOMIGOD WE GOT NERFED AGAIN" look at the bright side. Fury gets AoE and threat reduction, reduced mob dodge chance, and Whirlwind is getting a pretty nifty buff. Arms gets burst damage from DW and no longer has to invest so much in Fury for Improved Intercept. Both specs will benefit from buffed tanking ability via TM.

Back on track with SS, it's still possible to spam SS'd Cleave against two mobs for some massive damage.

Commento di 959

If i'm using whilrwind with active sweeping strikes, how much additional attacks i will have, one or one on every mob?

Commento di 6100

Using Whirlwind with Sweeping Strikes will only generate one additional attack.

Commento di TheAxeBot

This talent will basically allow you to kill things without even touching them, making Warrior leveling much much faster.

Commento di 24111

This and Blade Flurry is the only worth way to kill Warlocks' pets. And you want to do that, becouse of the Soul Link most of Warlocks have in PvP. 5 seconds and BANG Lock just lost all his buffs.

Commento di 42603

Has anyone noticed it's rather hard to get SS work ?
I often have to move to make it happen, the mobs need to be right next to each other.

Is there something else to do or what ?

Commento di 87646

Using Sweeping Strikes and Whirlwind at the same time is great, since as of patch 2.3.0, Whirlwind does damage with both weapons if you are duel wielding. Sweeping Strikes for whatever reason hits 4 times on the enemy you aren't attacking. Can be quite nice if you have two slow weapons of around 2.4 - 2.8 speed.

Commento di reking

Does execute work with sweeping strikes? Could be pretty crazy in PvP

Commento di 5864

If I recall, the secondary target needs to be in execute range to receive the execute 'additional attack'

There was a change a couple of patches ago regarding that.

Commento di Magmy

Execute will carry over if the secondary target is also below 20%.

If they are not, they still receive damage from Sweeping Strikes, but the damage carried over is that of a normal attack, not the Execute.

Commento di 108191

this helps a worrior alot when boosting someone or collecting mobs sempally if u got berserker stance sempaly follow these steps:
1-the mobs well keep hitting u which well biuld up rage and u keep hitting 1 and get faster rage

2-in berserker stance u well get whirlwind after u activate blood fury

3- after fineshing all those steps keep cleaving and whirlwinding

note: use piearcing howl 2 slow em down :D
have fun

Commento di 96180

Moves back to the Arms tree in Wrath of the Lich King and can now be used in Berserker stance as well.

Commento di 174228

this is really good PvE even PvP ability to use when u need to strike more mobs at once.
for myself i use berserker rage>sweeping strikes>SLAM spam.its just awsome :D

Commento di Kaltzor

a question, Can this proc off Cleave, WW or Bladestorm? If can will it hit only an addional nearby target or can it hit the targets already hit by the original attack? like cleaving with only 2 targets could it jump from both targets to each other?

Commento di 5864

Yes, you can Cleave --> Sweeping Strikes, Making 3 hits in 1 (and yes this works on only 2 targets)

Also true for WW making hit 5 hits (or 6 if you have the Glyph of WW)

It will use up 1 charge per WW while using BS

What I wonder though is, does it trigger the GCD when you activate it ? If not, could be nice to include in the BS Macro

Commento di Abomb

will sweeping strikes work with bladestorm? if so thats 11 hits in 6 seconds= insane dps aoe in pvp and farming

Commento di Ag3nt007

I would prefer if this procs of special attacks and not white attacks

Commento di 136881

It does proc off whirlwind and bladestorm. also procs on Cleave.

Commento di 236163

That picture of a fake Tauren Paladin is hilarious

Commento di lolman647

Would the effect of SS with the Windfury Totem buff on you when it procs, because that could mean you get off 6 attacks (in effect) in one swing. Can anyone confirm this or would the 3 second hidden cooldown from Windfury stop this from working?

Commento di 97808

Windfury Totem stopped granting extra attacks several patches ago. Now it just grants a static 16-20% Haste, depending on the Shaman's talent spec.

Commento di RazerMuffin

On the current patch.

Sweeping Strikes Secondary attacks deal the same damage as the main attack. Using this before using a Juggernaut Charge and Mortal Strike can lead to a nasty surprise on two unsuspecting targets.

If you use this with Sudden Death, another target in Range will suffer the same amount of Damage.

Overpower Crits carry over to the second target as well, making anyone who stand next to a rogue just more like to get killed.

This does stack with Bladestorm, but not really worth blowing this minor cooldown just so you can hit one more person, imo.

Best way I found to use this would be waiting for Sudden Death to pop up or the like and hitting this ability right before using it at lower levels or sets of gear.

As you get better gear and thusly, more AP and damage per Melee hit, or you are just running low on rage.
You might want to favor the waiting for Taste for Blood to proc so you can deal a instant hit to two opponents with a 50% increased chance to crit

NOTE: Most of these tactics assume you have Glyph of Sweeping Strikes. While not totally as effective here as in PvE, it still has it's uses. But I'm not here to debate that, just give what info I was able to gather on this ability.

Commento di 355930

i have a question, i have a list of warrior habilities to ask about:

- Hamstring
- Sunder armor
- deep wounds
- rend
- trauma
- charge
- intercept
- mortal strike
- sword spec. procs
- overpower
- shattering throw
- retaliation
- blood frenzy

as we all know, those habilities and procs have something in common, a secondary effect, could be either a debuff or a dot.

my question is, under the sweeping strikes effect, can i make this debuffs-dots proc on the secondary target?

Commento di 355930

ok so if i do something like sweeping strikes-recklessness-cleave (with imp cleave included), can i stack all that? i mean, i know cleave will stack, but recklessness?

Commento di Primax

With macroing, you can increase the value of this talent.

SS has a 30 second duration and 30 second cooldown and is off the GCD.. With the glyph, it has no casting cost. Charges are not expended when there is not a second mob in rage.

I use this macro.

/cast Rend
/cast Sweeping Strikes

Charges are not lost on strikes that don't sweep. When used in BGs this pumps out a lot of extra damage for no extra effort.

Commento di 426611

Use with BS and retaliation for best results.

Commento di 182403

-spot a dk or shaman with wolves, hunter / lock with there pets on you or near them or just two melees nocking on a healer (2!, 1 has no effect and 3-4 ruins the setup)
-pop your trinket eventually recklessness and pop sweeping strikes
-charge in bladestorm to let the first 2 hits hit another nearby target, that also got hit by bladestorm and that hit the first target effectively dealing same damage as 8 whirlwinds in stead of 6 to your main target (by the time the pet/other person is out of your range the effect is over)
?
Profi-- oh wait we just got nerfed again

Commento di Toldry

Useful for PVP when fighting against a player with a pet.
You can use this and cleave, it will damage the player, and then sweeping strikes will proc off your cleave attack on his pet, thus making him take another hit.

Not only does it make the player get double damage from cleave, it also damages his pet which might be helpful.

Commento di 368785

with glyph of sweeping strikes battle stance sweeping strikes charge defensive stance spam UA/improved revenge

Commento di Nivius

sweping strikes toghater whit revange (improved in battle stance and defence stance trees) will hit 4 targets.
whit improved cleave and so on you are looking on an insane AOE tank, and ppl belive that warriors cant aoe tank? well they can and blizzard knew it

more threat from mortalstrike
imba cleave (well known)
insane revenge (2 sec cd)
https://www.wowhead.com/cata/talent#LArczf0zVorR0MZhxfZVstr:Mw

pop sweeping, charge, go defensive and #$%^ing nuke that macro button (cleave/revange)+mortal button

now, who says warriors cant aoe tank? :)

Commento di ZarDoom

Using cleave while under the effect of Sweeping Strikes will consume two charges, and make two additional attacks. So if you're fighting two ennemies, Sweeping Strikes + Cleave = 2 hits on each.

Profit.

That being said, Whirlwind (or one second of bladestorming) will only consume ONE charge per spin, not 4 (maximum number of targets of whilrwind = 4), hitting an additional target per whrilwind, not per ennemy hit by the whirlwind.

(Sorry for my bad english, I'm really doing my best.)

Commento di 693537

The duration of this ability has been reduced to 10 seconds and the cd has been increased to 1 min, however...
Rejoice! Sweeping strikes no longer has any charges!
Just imagine using it along with Deadly Calm while spaming as much as you can...

Commento di 534473

With the changes to sweeping strikes and bladestorm:

Sadly, while it no longer has charges to consume, it only appears to proc once off each whirlwind, although it will proc off each hit of cleave. As such, when AoEing, it would be best to use this on cooldown (combined with deadly calm every other use) and use bladestorm separately to the two because bladestorm benefits a great deal less from both this and deadly calm, unless the mobs are going to die in less than 25 seconds in which case just forget it and use both.

In regards to oppurtunity strikes, I did some testing.

Oppurtunity strikes WILL ALWAYS proc sweeping strikes although there is a delay between the attack and its oppurtunity strike, which can cause an oppurtunity strike to proc sweeping strikes without its original attack doing so and vice versa.

However, sweeping strikes WILL NEVER proc oppurtunity strikes.

This prevents the possibility, however unlikely, of crashing your game with 100% mastery and sweeping strikes enabled (recurring damage transfer between the two targets)

Also, a few more notes about the damage from sweeping strikes:
It is physical, but not mitigated by armour. The base damage is an exact copy of the damage done to the original victim regardless of anything which increased or decreased that original damage. The sweeping strikes damage however is also affected by damage and physical damage modifiers - even if the original mob had the same debuff. This means, if you hit one mob with a +100% damage taken debuff for 100k (normally 50k), and there is a mob standing next to him with the same debuff, he will be hit for 200k, quadruple the original damage. This is a neat trick for something like the adds on Maloriak during the green phase.

Commento di Hairband

I really do not know why people hit "Sweeping Strikes" and then Bladestorm. Sweeping Strikes gives you by definition a bonus of "a melee attack to a nearby opponent." Isn't the bonus of Bladestorm to hitting "all nearby targets" > "a nearby opponent"?

Now IMHO the definition of melee attack discussed in Sweeping Strikes is probably just a boost to your white damage, I mean, is Blizz going to allow you to pop Sweeping Strikes and Rend or MS two at once?

I do not use Sweeping Strikes combined with Bladestorm because I think the "all nearby targets" of Bladestorm supersedes "a melee attack to a nearby opponent" of Sweeping Strikes. I use Sweeping Strikes on its own when Bladestorm is down.

And I'm pretty sure if you pop a trinket when you hit SS+Bladestorm, you're seeing a boost to DPS because of the trinket. Where does it say anywhere in the talent "Sweeping Strikes" you're adding melee damage? And you are already using Bladestorm which entitles you to do damage to all nearby targets.

Edit: It's funny this is downrated without comment. I mean, where in the description do you get more DPS with SS? You get an additional target. C'mon, throw me a bone here.

Commento di ParadOxyMoron

First off, I believe most people here were talking about multi-target. For single target, this ability does nothing for you, but when there's more than one enemy being hit, if you're hitting two mobs for the same damage you'd be hitting one for otherwise, you're obviously doubling your DPS.
Secondly, if you read through the comments, you would've noticed a little tidbit about when SS+bladestorming, that an extra hit would be added due to sweeping strikes, making it 5 hits per whirl as opposed to 4 hits per whirl.
Lastly, it actually never used to affect white strikes at all. It was only yellow strikes that could take charges. I haven't played Arms since Cata hit, so I honestly cannot say if that's still the case.

Commento di Xbander

To be more specific, all melee strikes, even Arms Mastery-opportunity strikes will also hit a nearby target. The damage is equivalent. If you land a hit for 45k, the other target will also be hit for 45k. Briefly in patch 4.2 Bladestorm was hotfixed to not proc Sweeping Strikes hits, but now it does again. So if you Bladestorm, you will not only be hitting all targets with the whirlwind effect, but one of your targets will be practically taking double damage due to Sweeping Strikes, so long as at least 2 targets are standing close together.

Commento di Swordy

Use this with Retaliation, Cleave and a the offensive attack of your choice (I prefer Mortal Strike and Overpower). Execute the primary target when able for heavy damage to both targets!

Commento di Serrah

I thought I'd add in some things to the talent Sweeping Strikes

It doesn't require a melee frontal cone as other warrior attacks do. I usually tried to place myself in such a way that mob one and two were in front of me. The tooltip says it will effect a nearby enemy. You can use sweeping strikes and it will proc on mobs who are right behind you which is usually unattackable by normal melee. This is helpful on say Yon'ozz trash where you usually cannot get sweeping strikes off in a frontal cone. I thought this might be helpful for other warriors who is stuck in the same way of thinking.

It will carry over executes, at least in pve, this is at least true in pve which I have tested several times just to make sure.

Commento di Thottbot

FYI, this counts as a debuff so you can't remove it when you want.

Commento di Thottbot

Use this only when you are not taking damage.

Commento di Thottbot

Haven't lost since

Commento di Thottbot

Can you use this talent in battle stance?

Commento di Thottbot

This talent is usable in all stances, it is useful to some extent in pvp and pve. Several bosses have a fear, you can couple this in defensive stance to break that fear and still generate hate, perhaps even more effectively due to the damage increase. PVP is the primary stage for this ability however, as it allows you to break fear and increases the damage of your bloodthirst.

Commento di Thottbot

I used this on a battleground against all the stupid locks and it owns. Basically, its PvP, not PvE. I killed 3 ally locks with this in STV, all convienietly with Voids. You use indtimidating shout on one lock. Kill him off. If you're fast, get another lock in this time. The shout will be gone by now and the last lock will be running or trying to finish you off. Hamstring + Rend + Heroic Strike -> Execute. 3 locks with minimal damage.

Commento di Thottbot

This talent is huge for PVP and PVE. The fear immunity is great, but for huge fun, on a boss (LBRS/UBRS type), hit this, recklessness and wait for a huge execute. The 20% damage increase on this is gigantic, no matter where you are.

One note, let your healers know you're going to use this. You will pull aggro, and 20% armor reduction at high levels is brutal, you will get your ass beat.

Commento di Thottbot

This really makes some insane dmg with both DW and 2h weapons. And it`s the third warrior move for fear immunity (berserker rage and reklessness) Even the debuff is pretty well thought: In pvp this is the most important for CASTERS who have many ways to keep you away of them so dmg must be done quicly. In this case there is no debuff at all coz it doesn't increse dmg taken by 20% only lowers armor by that. So against casters you take the same amount of dmg because armor doesn`t effect on spell dmg! :D

Commento di Thottbot

Negatitive resists does not increase the dmg you take from spells but just increases the chance you are hit.

So basically its completely overpowered against priests/warlocks because of the fear immunity and the massive boost in power.

Commento di Thottbot

i activated this telent death wish on my lvl 51 troll warrior...i was fighting a lvl ? preist..human allaince..i was unbuffed i critted her for 1088 with heroic strike..we killed each other at da same time ^^ get the polearm for the AV quest reward at 51...use death wish and crit something around ur lvl...u watch how much u hit for 700 + if not ur chracter is weak :D

Commento di Thottbot

This ability can kiss my ass

Commento di Thottbot

Death Wish + Berserker Rage + Will of the Foresaken = Unbeatable fury warrior! Locks and priests will tremble in fear upon sight of you ;)

Commento di Thottbot

for an arms / fury warrior, this or endless rage at lvl 70?

Commento di Thottbot

well my warrior is arms/fury i got death wish with endless rage i just switch over to berserker stance when in a fight with a lock and pwn there face the talent rules

Commento di Thottbot

BOOYA

SWEEPING STRIKES AND DEATHWISH HAVE SWAPPED SPOTS IN THE TALENT TREES! :) So has improved intercept and weapon mastery! ( As of patch 2.3 , 13/11/08 )

this is AWESOME.

Commento di Thottbot

why did Blizz put this in Fury? as far as i can tell a good fury warrior would not try to get more then 1 fight at a time so this is kinda useless.. and how come the rouge version of this increases atk speed and dosent have charges?

Commento di Thottbot

this used to have less than 10 charges u know... they only added more cos you're probably DWing...

Commento di Thottbot

It's also got a shorter duration on top of the boost in attacks. Suprisingly, this works pretty well for fury wars. I tried it out and it's really fun. If there's another mob around or enemy player, it helps rage generation like crazy. I think it's a nice addition to the tree with the loss of Death Wish

Commento di Thottbot

Let me just get this out of the way...

When ur fighting two mobs (ex: pally, mage), okay? Since the dmg u do on ur main target, the dmg goes exactly the same on the second target...so u should always be hitting the enemy with the lowest armor for max dmg..

I mean....Ur hitting the plate wearing pally for only 750 white..so the 750 goes to the mage too.

But if ur hitting the cloth-wearing mage, ur probably hitting atleast 1k....so now the armor doesn't matter on the pally. Cuz in some ways, ur making the second target's armor exactly the same as your main target's armor.

So always attack the low-armored target first...

FURY FTW

Commento di Thottbot

somebody else noticed sweeping strike posts are on the death wish page and death wish posts are on sweeping strikes page?

Commento di Thottbot

As of patch 3.0.1 Death Wish and Sweeping Strikes will swap places again,deathwish becomes fury and sweeping strikes becomes arms,also death wish will lose fear immunity

Commento di Allakhazam

Do u need to be in beserker stance for this spell?

Commento di Allakhazam

I click on it fighting mobs with almost full rage and nothing happens. Cant make a hot key for the talent too. Did a help request and havent got a reply back on the subject.
