Is QS broken?

Quick Strike (War Rune) is not working as intended. It says it will 36-54 damage and will also benefit from the Heroic strike’s benefit which states melee + 32. All I am receiving from using quick strike is avg 40 and the range is 25-55 crit was 67. My melee avgs 84 range 65-132 with a max crit of 243. My reading of quick strike is that the melee is the base, plus the 32 from HS and then the 36-55 from QS. By my calculation my QS result should be 84 + 32 + 40 = 156 Avg not 40 avg. Based on 83 QS and 500+ melee

Reading it wrong. It benefits from the Rage reduction talent and nothing more.

Quick Strike is just another way to trigger Wild Strikes and also better damage per rage than Heroic Strike I believe once you start getting gear.

Heroic Strike is 3.6 DPR (12 Rage) where Quick Strike (for me at 24) is 3.4 DPR (17 Rage). Slightly weaker but Quick will only get better but Heroic will stay at 3.6 DPR. (At Level 25)

Quick Strike says, “This ability benefits from and triggers all effects associated with Heroic Strike.”

According to the formula on Wowhead, it looks like this scales with Attack Power: “A reckless instant melee attack with your two-handed weapon dealing (Attack power * 15 / 100) to (Attack power * 25 / 100) physical damage.” Basically doing 15%-25% of your AP as dmg.

So, that leaves the question I guess of what precisely are the effects associated with Heroic Strike? Is there a list of what it can proc?

It’s not damage per rage that makes quick strike good, but the fact that it doesn’t remove rage generation from auto attacks like heroic strike does.

Quick Strike is just a mini bloodthirst, it scales off of ap and gets rage cost reduction from the heroic strike arms talent, there are no other synergies i’m aware of. The intention is a 2h rage dump that doesn’t completely destroy rage generation

This is true. I was just pointing out its DPR is also better.

Nevermind the fact that QS and HR both spend rage, but QS allows your auto attack to generate rage, where HS will make your auto attack spend rage.

It dosent get ap bonus, the best is not use it

Thanks all, QS was removed, DPR is probably important for long fights, like raid bosses. for questing/pvp big crits are more important for me.
