'''Revenge''' is a high damage [[warrior]] counterattack skill (thanks to the new patch improving Revenge's damage). It is only usable immediately after [[block]]ing, [[Dodge|dodging]], or [[parry]]ing an attack and in [[Defensive Stance]], making it essentially a tanking attack.

==Tips and tactics==
−
Revenge costs 5 [[Warrior#Rage|Rage]], giving it the same cost as {{ability|Overpower}}. Unlike Overpower, Revenge may be [[Block|blocked]], [[Dodge|dodged]], or [[Parry|parried]]. This skill is not based on weapon damage. It should be noted, however, that it shares the same [[Cooldown]] as Overpower.
  
  ⚫
This ability is usually the best way to hold a [[mob]]'s attention. [[Devastate]] is available on demand and can be spammed, and [[Shield Slam]] generates more threat per application, but smart tanking warriors use Revenge at almost every opportunity.
   
  +
==Trivia==
−
Since patch 3.0.2, Revenge damage has been severely increased, and now scales with [[attack power]]. This makes Revenge highly superior to Overpower for those not wielding a two-handed weapon, i.e. tanking warriors.

* Revenge is [[hswiki:Revenge|a rare Warrior spell]] in the [[Hearthstone: Blackrock Mountain|Blackrock Mountain]] adventure of ''[[Hearthstone (game)|Hearthstone]]''. Two copies of the card are rewarded for defeating [[Razorgore the Untamed]] in the [[Blackwing Lair]] wing. The flavor text reads: ''"This is better than [[:Arcane Explosion]], so I guess warriors are finally getting revenge on mages for [[:Mortal Strike]] being worse than [[:Fireball]]."''

*This ability is often the best way to hold a [[mob]]'s attention at the beginning stages of a fight due to its very high [[threat]]-per-[[Rage]] ratio (which becomes even better with 3/3 [[Focused Rage]]). {{ability|Sunder Armor}} or {{ability|Devastate}} are available on command and can be spammed (given sufficient Rage, of course), and {{ability|Shield Slam}} still generates more threat per application, but smart tanking warriors will still use Revenge at almost every opportunity.
  
−  
−
*{{ability|Shield Block}} is a popular way to enable Revenge by getting a guaranteed block within a few seconds (generally much less).
  
−  
−
*Revenge may seem similar the [[Battle Stance]] ability {{ability|Overpower}} in that it is a situationally reactive skill, but there are important differences to be aware of. First, revenge is available after '''your warrior''' blocks, dodges, or parries; Overpower only after '''your target''' dodges. Second, Revenge has a flat amount of damage modified by AP, while Overpower is straight weapon damage. Third, the [[Improved Revenge]] talent gives you a chance to hit another nearby target, whereas [[Improved Overpower]] increases critical hit percentage.
  
−  
−
*Note that you don't necessarily need to Revenge the mob that you blocked/parried/dodged: once Revenge is lit up you can use it on any target until the timer expires. This can be a very Rage-efficient way of building threat on multiple mobs over a short period of time: if multiple mobs are targetting you, there is a high likelihood that Revenge will become available regularly, particularly if your [[Defense]] skill, [[dodge]] rating, [[parry]] rating, and/or shield [[block]] percentage are high.
  
−  
−
*Prior to [[patch 3.3.3]], [[Improved Revenge]] made this ability an important spell interrupt alternative. 3.3.3 makes it instead an addition to AoE tanking, resembling more a situational version of {{ability|Cleave}}. (Cleave itself being an "auto-attack replacement" power.)
  
−  
−
*Note that with 2/2 [[Unrelenting Assault]], Revenge will be on a one second cooldown - while a parry, dodge or block enables the ability for a few seconds - effectively allowing multiple Revenges to be used after a single dodge, parry or block. It is unknown whether this is a bug or working as intended.
