Cast the first available ability in the priority. Procs and cooldowns change the right answer every GCD — that's the muscle memory the trainer builds.

  2. 2Mortal Strike — Core strike and healing debuff
  3. 3Overpower — Use on dodge procs or Taste for Blood windows

The priority list behind the trainer, top-down every GCD:

  2. Mortal Strike — Core strike and healing debuff
  3. Overpower — Use on dodge procs or Taste for Blood windows (proc active)

  6. Heroic Strike — Rage dump over 60, off the GCD (over 60 rage)

Rotation notes that actually move the meter

  • Taste for Blood windows are the skill test: Overpower inside the window or lose the damage.
  • Rend is not optional — it feeds Deep Wounds, Taste for Blood and Sudden Death Execute procs.
  • Bladestorm while Enraged and trinketed — it snapshots nothing but maximizes crit overlap.
  • Sudden Death procs give free Executes: use them even above the 20% execute phase.
