Victory Rush
New ability in Forever.
Instantly attack the target causing 102 damage and healing you for 10% of your maximum health. Only useable within 20 sec after you kill a non-trivial enemy.

Details
Victory Rush adds a melee strike and self-heal to the baseline Arms spellbook. After killing an enemy that is not trivial, you have 20 seconds to use it for 10% of maximum health; the preview also lists a 30-second cooldown, so it is a recovery tool with both a trigger and a cooldown. The displayed damage depends on the demo character's gear.

Preview tooltip source: Soda's Warrior Class Deep Dive video (18:29, spellbook). His Warrior had 5/5 Improved Tactical Mastery, which its own tooltip lists as 'an additional 15 Rage' on top of this.
Details
Every Warrior can now retain up to 10 Rage when changing stances without spending talent points. Improved Tactical Mastery adds up to another 15 Rage, letting an invested Arms build retain 25 total. The old tooltip shown is the first Classic talent rank, rather than a baseline passive.

Preview tooltip source: Xaryu's Warrior, 12 Sep (YouTube 'BLIZZCON DAY 1' VOD at 5:01:33, action-bar hover). A reader spotted the Defensive Stance line.
Details
Thunder Clap can now be used in Defensive Stance as well as Battle Stance, giving tanks access without a stance change. The captured rank 4 slows enemy attacks by 20%, twice the 10% in the exported Classic comparison, and still hits at most four enemies. Both rank-4 comparison tooltips show 22 seconds; a general source note saying Classic lasted 30 seconds does not describe this rank.

Details
Slam now has a 15-second cooldown, which makes it a timed attack rather than an unrestricted filler. Rank 3 was already visible at level 38, earlier than the Classic rank-3 training level of 46. Its preview damage bonus is also different; the shown values are from the demo, not final level-60 tuning.

Instantly counterattack any enemy that strikes you in melee for 15 sec. Melee attacks made from behind cannot be counterattacked. A maximum of 30 attacks will cause retaliation.

Preview tooltip source: Savix's Warrior, 12 Sep.
Details
Retaliation retains its Battle Stance requirement and counterattacks up to 30 incoming melee hits over 15 seconds. Its displayed cooldown falls from 30 minutes to 15 minutes, making it available more often. Footage suggesting it no longer shares Shield Wall's cooldown is useful evidence, but the full relationship with Recklessness still needs testing.

Shield Wall

Preview tooltip source: Esfand's Warrior, in his 'Warriors Just Got a MASSIVE Rework' video at 11:49. Two readers pointed to it. Classic was 30 min, 75% for 10 sec.
Details
Shield Wall trades the Classic 75% reduction for a longer 12-second window at 60% reduction, with a cooldown reduced from 30 to 15 minutes. It is therefore a more frequent defensive with a smaller reduction per hit. Footage shows it available while Retaliation is on cooldown; this supports independent use, but the complete shared-cooldown rules remain a preview observation.

Preview tooltip source: Tyler1's Warrior, 12 Sep (spellbook screenshot sent in by a reader). Classic was 5 sec and 1 attack.
Details
The baseline block window now lasts seven seconds and allows two blocks, compared with five seconds and one block in Classic. The 75% block-chance increase, 10 Rage cost, Defensive Stance requirement and five-second cooldown remain in the captured tooltip. The extra block matters when multiple attacks land close together.

Details
The preview rank-4 shout lasts three minutes instead of two. Its listed attack power is also lower in this demo snapshot, but displayed numerical values should not be treated as final balance. The longer duration reduces how often the party buff needs refreshing.

Details
Intercept is referenced by Improved Intercept in the Fury tree, but it was not visible in the level-38 demo spellbook. That establishes an ability reference, not a new training level or a removal. The guide leaves its Forever cost, cooldown and learning level open until an actual tooltip or trainer entry is available.
