Blood and thunder for arms

I was looking at slam, whirlwind, and thunderclap with blood and thunder.

And it seems like thunderclap (combined with the damage of rend) does more damage than slam on single target. Seems weird that this would be the case. What am I missing.

Has anyone been playing with blood and thunder? When thunder clap applied rend does it do the initial damage of rend or just the dot?

Good question about the initial damage proc, would be worth experimenting. I like BaT so far and could even see it used in a Skull Splitter build…so many things to try out. Good Luck and tell me how maxin’ out on the WW/Slam build goes.

Ive been advocating the bleed build and BaT is definitely a part of it. Its the most fun ive had playing/theorycrafting for arms in a long time. Cant wait for level 70. The build will scale so well with a haste/mastery set up.

It only applies the dot and deals TC damage, doesn’t deal the initial strike of rend.

Thanks King

Blood and thunder provides more rage so I’m using the ww gives a free slam and blood and thunder but I need to test cleave.

How many targets does it take for ww > mortal strike? Kinda wastes the buff from overpower without cleave.
