With the buff to mortal strike, should I always be using it with 2 stacks of overpower during 35% execute phase or should I still be spamming condemn and whenever I get rage starved use overpower as a filler
Execute phase is still just MS to maintain deep wounds.
You should keep overpower on CD, never let it get to two stacks, because you will inevitably burn through your rage. Don’t cap rage either. Never use slam in an execute phase. Save warbreaker and avatar if nearing execute phase and pool rage. So a basic priority:
- Mortal Strike to maintain deep wounds (<4s)
- Condemn with an active proc (if talented)
- Condemn (>60 rage)
- Overpower if you will cap at two charges soon.
- Condemn
- Bladestorm if off CD and at <20 rage
- Overpower as filler (1 charge)
This is the rotation I try to follow. If anyone else has a different philosophy please share.

I saw somewhere the only time MS will do more damage than Execute is with 2 Overpower stacks and Sharpen Blade.
Obviously you can’t have Sharpen Blade in PvE anymore (except world bosses), so I would think the rotation during Execute phase remains as follows:
- Execute when available (don’t think it matters how much rage you have because the damage is linear IIRC)
- Overpower when you don’t have enough rage to Execute
- Mortal Strike only to keep Deep Wounds on target, even if you’re sitting on 2 Overpower stacks.
This was basically the rotation in BFA as well, except Deep Wounda didn’t depend on MS so you literally never used MS in Execute phase I don’t think. Unless of course as I mentioned earlier, you were for some reason running Conflict major essence and had Sharpen Blade.
I think you misunderstood.
Not really a philosophical matter, just wowhead/icyveins.
Is there any way to block people on the forums? Derez you have a lot of opinions for someone with zero evidence EVER and a level 11 warrior.

He asked if you should use MS in execute with 2 stacks of OP.
You mistakenly thought he meant letting OP reach two stacks with Dreadnaught.
Lastly, there’s not a debate of philosophy on how to properly play. That’s what the guides are for.
I don’t see what is so offensive about stating those two.
And I replied stating when and why to use overpower.
As well as mortal strike.
Also, philosophy: a theory or attitude held by a person or organization that acts as a guiding principle for behavior.
Stop downing people’s constructive replies that are evidence based theories or experiments with one line garbage replies. I’ve seen you all over the forums just replying to people with “no its not”.
I have yet to see any of these.
Don’t need anything more.
CS is highest priority in execute, followed by BS at 30 rage. Followed by MS when DW is going to fall off, followed by OP, followed by Condemn. Condemn is lowest priority. SD procs are above OP, but not if it’s sitting at two stacks.
He’s literally right though, pretty much always. If people understood how to take criticisms they’d learn something from him, instead of being butthurt because he proves them wrong.
Seems he only responds with anything constructive if someone calls him on his mostly troll-like posts.
I’m sure if you ask him for an explanation instead of firing back an insult or responding rudely, he’d happily break down his response.
Truthfully, I respond in the same manner. Seemingly brash and sometimes even somewhat harsh.
When you see the same stuff on the forums day in and day out and people throw out incorrect and false information with unreliable data to back it up, it can get tiresome having to go through and explain everything correctly

So it’s easier to just say “You’re wrong” and if they really want to learn, they’ll ask. Since so many trolls actually aren’t interested in learning, but arguing instead. So it’s best to just not waste time explaining to someone who just wants to hurl insults and argue.

I haven’t loved how he responds sometimes but you can’t deny that he’s right and usually answers people rather quickly if they need information.
