==Tips and Tactics==
 
Keep this active all the time. In the long run, the extra damage will earn back the 10 rage it costs, and more damage is rarely a bad thing.
 
 
When you are placed in a group of rogues, keep them buffed with this. 232 attack power will add around 30 DPS (unmitigated) for a decent rogue. 30x4 = 120 additional damage per second over a period of 2 minutes.
 
 
Note that Battle Shout does not raise Ranged Attack Power.
 
 
Does not stack with your own [[Commanding Shout]], however if there is another Warrior in your party doing Commanding Shout the different shouts will stack.
 
 
==Threat Generation==
 
 
Before patch 2.01, Battle Shout generated 55 threat for every party member that received the buff. This made it better than demoralizing shout for gathering groups of mobs for AoE. It was also used frequently in Phase 1 of the [[Nefarian]] fight in [[BWL]].
 
 
However, as of patch 2.01, battle shout has been 'fixed'. It now generates about 50 threat total (source?), no matter how many party members got the buff. The old days of battle shout tanking are quite over.
 
 
The threat generated is not restricted by range (unlike [[Demoralizing Shout]]), and is divided among all the mobs that have you on their hate list.
