Mortal Strike Mortal Strike

Warrior · Arms · Row 7 of 7 · Single rank
Active ability Requires Sweeping Strikes

Mortal Strike sits in row 7 of the Warrior Arms tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role, and you will need Sweeping Strikes maxed first. It costs just one point. So the only question is whether opening its row fits your build.

What Mortal Strike does at each rank

A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.

  1. Rank 1: A vicious strike that deals weapon damage plus 85 and wounds the target, reducing the effectiveness of any healing by 50% for 10 sec.

How to reach Mortal Strike

Row 7 opens after you spend 30 points in the earlier Arms rows. Level 40 is the earliest you can pick up Mortal Strike, and you will need Sweeping Strikes maxed first.

Is Mortal Strike worth the points?

One point gives you the full effect. The real cost is opening row 7. That is 30 points in the rows above, so take it when the talent suits your build.
