-==Functionality==
-Retaliation is a self-buff that costs no [[Rage]]. It has a 5 minute cooldown. As of patch 3.0.2, it is NO longer linked to the [[Shield Wall]] or the [[Recklessness]] timers. While it is active, the first 20 melee attacks taken from the front will result in an instant counterattack with your weapon. It has a very obvious animation making its usefulness in PvP hinge on the opponents knowledge of the ability as many opponents will simply stop attacking the warrior when they see the spinning blades—this however could be viewed as a ''defensive'' advantage. Available in [[Battle Stance]] only.
+==Source==
-== Tips and Tactics ==
+This item drops from [[Brutallus]] in [[Sunwell Plateau]].
-*Before the implementation of its animation this was one of your most powerful abilities, now it is at best of marginal utility in PvE. The counterattacks from Retaliation are not instant attacks, they are normal swings. Because of this, Retaliation is most powerful when used with an extremely slow two-handed weapon.
-*Although it has a cap on how many counterattacks you can make, it is higher than your average [[mob]] will trigger in a fight. So, this skill is best used against multiple enemies, particularly if they attack quickly.
-*Warrior-Tanks can greatly benefit from Retaliation's multiple target threat by quickly switching to [[Battle Stance]], activating Retaliation and then returning to [[Defensive Stance]].  As stance changes remove nearly all built up [[Rage]] this is best done when the warrior is already low on [[Rage]].
