Deadly Calm

Deadly Calm is a Tier 4 talent in the Warrior's Arms tree. It temporarily removes the rage cost from any of the warrior's abilities that normally require rage, allowing the warrior to use them regardless of current rage levels and without consuming rage. Rage is still generated during Deadly Calm.

Tips and tactics

 * Together with Anger Management, this is one of the key ways for Arms warriors to maintain high levels of rage.
 * Deadly Calm has no global cooldown. This means it can be used at any time in your rotation, such as immediately before using rage-thirsty abilities.
 * Deadly Calm is a great opener for Arms warriors. When the warrior's rage levels may be low, this ability allows the warrior to effectively spend as much as rage as he likes, all the while generating rage that will be available when Deadly Calm wears off. This allows the warrior to immediately deal a large amount of damage, and the large pool of rage that is built-up while Deadly Calm is in effect should be more than sufficient for the warrior's subsequent needs.
 * Deadly Calm is also very useful if you find yourself running out of rage, simultaneously allowing for large amounts of damage and for a sizeable rage pool to be built-up. It is most useful if used when low on rage, or immediately after emptying one's rage bar, ensuring that none of the rage generated will be wasted.
 * This is a great ability for dealing large amounts of damage, such as during the Execute phase of a fight.
 * As of Patch 4.2.0, Deadly Calm cannot be used at the same time as Recklessness. One cannot be used while the other is active, but using one does not put the other on its full cooldown.
 * While Deadly Calm is a great panic button, with its 2 minute cooldown there is little reason not to use it far more often, ensuring rage is available at all times.
