Tips and Tactics
Use as often as possible while tanking. While it deals low damage, this is the best way to keep a mob's attention.
Revenge seems like the Defensive Stance's Overpower, but there are important differences. First, revenge is used when your warrior blocks, dodges, or parries. Overpower is used when a mob dodges. Second, revenge ignores your weapon damage. Third, Improved Revenge talent gives you a chance to stun the mob, whereas Improved Overpower increases critical hit percentage.
Unfortunately, Revenge is much less useful than Overpower. The damage is paltry, and it's primarily used to stun a mob and generate a large amount of hate. In any case, it needn't be upgraded through ranks as the damage increases are minor.
Edit: Ideal combo is Revenge paired with Shield Block, makes you block which allows you to use Revenge. This in turn keeps the mob trained on you while reducing damage delt to you and a chance for a stun.
