Changed spell warrior Confidence: Confirmed. Stated directly by an official source.

Slam cooldown

Slam now comes off cooldown more slowly, but Improved Slam claws it back.

Before
15 sec
After
18 sec

Improved Slam now reduces the cooldown by 1.5 / 3 sec, so talented Arms play lands close to the old cadence while untalented Slam is slower.

Changed spell warrior Confidence: Confirmed. Stated directly by an official source.

Bloodthrill activation chance

Bloodthrill procs roughly twice as often, but only from main-hand melee hits.

Before
2/4/6/8/10%
After
4/8/12/16/20%

Activates only off main-hand melee attacks, including Cleave and Heroic Strike.

Changed class warrior Confidence: Confirmed. Stated directly by an official source.

Protection talent order (Bastion / Focused Rage)

Bastion and Focused Rage swap rows so Focused Rage is reachable sooner while leveling.

Before
Bastion row 5 · Focused Rage row 6
After
Focused Rage row 5 · Bastion row 6

Blizzard's stated intent: smoother Protection leveling before Shield Slam is available.

Fixed bugfix warrior Confidence: Confirmed. Stated directly by an official source.

Sunder Armor threat values

Threat corrected on all ranks, with a small increase from Attack Power.
