:''Were you looking for [[Rend Blackhand]]?''
 
{{AbilityFlavor|"I gave him a choice: die piece by piece, or all at once." —Gorebelly|TCGHoA|146}}
 
[[Image:Ability_Gouge.png|left]]'''Rend''' is a damage over time ability. It is an instant cast, so it doesn't replace a normal attack. It is also one of the few [[warrior]] attacks that isn't mitigated by enemy armor.
 
 
Even without investing in talents to improve it, Rend is a very rage-efficient attack. Investments in [[Improved Rend]] and [[Blood Frenzy]] makes it shine even brighter. It's disadvantages are partly that it loses efficiency if the target dies before the Rend has completed it's duration. Also, Rend can not be used in Berserker Stance.

<sup>1</sup>Additional damage is added based on weapon damage and other factors. See below.
 
 
==Additional damage==
 
In addition to the base damage, Rend will deliver extra damage depending on how hard the weapon hits. The formula looks a bit complicated, but it basically calculates the average weapon damage modified for attack power and takes a fraction of this:
 
 
<pre> Weapon Speed x Attack Power 743
 
Extra damage = ( --------------------------- + Average Weapon Damage ) x Duration x ------
 
14 300000</pre>
 
 
Note, The DPS of the weapon isn't the most important factor. It's much more important that the weapon is slow.
 
 
Example: Wally the Warrior has an attack power of 1400, and he uses a Rend with a duration of 21 seconds. When he uses [[The Unstoppable Force]] (Speed 3.8, average damage 233½) his rends will do 32 points additional damage. When he uses [[Widow's Remorse]] (Speed 1.6, average damage 100½) his rends will only do 13 points of additional damage, even though Widow's Remorse has a slightly higher DPS-rating than the Unstoppable Force.
 
 
==Tips and Tactics==
 
This is also a good skill to use in PvP against Rogues, as it makes it more difficult (but not impossible) for them to use [[Vanish]] and an additional opener such as [[Cheap Shot]] or [[Ambush]].
 
 
As with other bleeding effects, elementals and skeletal undead are immune to Rend.
