Overpower is a basic warrior counterattack. Once your opponent dodges an attack of yours, you have a chance to overpower. Overpower cannot be dodged/parried/blocked, but can miss. Overpower is instantaneous, so a high damage weapon is all that is needed here, not a high DPS weapon.
It is learned at level 22 for 10
.
Functionality
Overpower is a 5 Rage attack based on weapon damage with a 5 second cooldown. It instantly attacks the enemy for weapon damage. Rogues are especially vulnerable to it, as they rely on Dodge for much of their damage mitigation.
Talents
- [Impale]: Increases critical damage by 10/20%.
[Taste for Blood]: 33/66/100% Chance to allow the use of Overpower after a [Rend] tick, usable only every 6 seconds.- [Unrelenting Assault]: Reduces cooldown by 2/4 seconds, and increases damage by 10/20%.
Tips and Tactics
- Works best with large Two-Handed Weapons. Most efficient warrior ability, damage per rage, so use it as often as you can.
- Any warrior who uses Overpower often should consider the Arms talent [Improved Overpower]. It gives a bonus 25% crit chance for each of the two ranks, making a fully-Improved Overpower better than a 50/50 chance to crit. Combined with [Deep Wounds] and [Impale], this gives an Overpower a great chance of landing a Critical which will deal weapon damage plus 100%(crit) plus 20%(Impale), and 48% in bleed damage(Deep Wounds), making it the equivalent of 2.6 swings.
- The strategy is simple: If the enemy dodges, always use overpower. The only downsides are its limited use to Battle Stance, and while it can't be blocked, dodged, or parried, it can still miss.
- Overpower can be devastating towards Rogues, so consider using [Berserker Rage] when fighting them to mitigate possible interruptions from [Gouge].
Patch changes
- Patch 4.0.3a (2010-11-23): Now does 125% weapon damage, down from 150%.
- Template:Patched
- Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14): Overpower now only has one rank and no longer causes any bonus damage (i.e. weapon damage only).
- Patch 1.8.0 (2005-10-10): Now uses normalized attack power.
- Patch 1.5.0 (2005-06-07): Fixed a bug where the ability was sometimes blocked.
- Patch 1.3.0 (2005-03-07): Should now be usable when a special attack is dodged.
