Unleash Rage

When you reach 100 rage, you strike the ennemies in front of you with a violent attack weakening them by reducing their chance to hit by 3% for 6 seconds.
This ability costs 100 rage and deals additionnal threat. -
@garatoi Would certainly be useful for melee builds that don't use rage for anything, although I'm still unsure if it would be worth an epic RE slot.

@Vulpinenin The idea is to give a warrior tank an "offensive" LRE. You easily get 100 rage when tanking, -3% hit is very usefull for trashs and bosses. The violent attack might also apply a debuff (bleed? +10% physical damage?).
This LRE coukd be usefull for melees in pve but you have to build 100 rage. -
An interesting idea but I wouldn't find it worth it as shield slam, thunderclap, sunder armor/devastate, and the warrior kit in general all use rage. And currently the rage kit is very strong making a 3% hit penalty not worth it for that much of a resource dump. Especially since everything tied to defensive stance is strong in my experience.
Righteous fury, is weaker from what I've seen in terms of threat per second or maybe I've never ran into any good prot paladin like tanks as I've taken aggro from them on both healer and dps characters before.
The 2h parry tank commonly uses defensive stance since its kit is found in the arms tree of the warrior. I don't imagine parry tank would scale well with RF since there aren't that many abilities that scale off of spell power that a 2h wielder could use for tanking. Hammer of the righteous requires a 1h, divine storm scales off weapon dmg = AP, consecration is ok but not very bursty, holy nova I suppose if you wanted to dip into priest spells.
Insect swarm provided a -5% hit debuff in 3.3.5, but I think they removed it here on ascension.

@Ragekrono The only 2h parry build that I know of that uses spellpower is the Stormhammer, but they nerfed that so it's no longer optimal. And even there it's still debatable if getting RF is better than defensive stance. Not to mention that Stormhammer can be played with 1h and shield too I think.

Yes, that's the idea. Getting 5% less damage from physical and magical attacks. In retail, I always asked druids to cast it on bosses.
May'be my suggestion isn't big enough for a LRE, may'be the big attack should weaken more the ennemies or have a synergy with another ability/talent.
What I can assure you is that getting 100 rage is very easy for a warrior tank. When you loose this rage, you already have some threat, and it only takes 1.5 sec to get enough rage for tanking abilities.
