Let me start off by saying, testing something with a 5% proc is very, very, very painfully mind-numbing.

That being said, I did some Warrior Sword Spec testing myself.

I can confirm it's still generating rage, I ran around slaming things until it proced, it definately generates rage increasing my rage bar allowing for more slam 'fun', during that time there were no white hits, so the only thing that could have increased my rage that much was sword spec.

I can also confirm it's not resetting the swing timer like it does on live, I ran around alternating my toon between white hit -> Hamstring -> White hit -> Hamstring. During Hamstring sword spec procs the white hit landed accordingly afterwards as it had been doing.

5/8 02:04:09.390 You hit Skithian Windripper for 718.
5/8 02:04:10.406 Skithian Windripper's Regrowth heals Skithian Windripper for 1394.
5/8 02:04:10.421 Skithian Windripper gains Regrowth.
5/8 02:04:10.625 Skithian Windripper suffers 162 Physical damage from your Deep Wound.
5/8 02:04:11.453 Your Hamstring hits Skithian Windripper for 50.
5/8 02:04:11.453 Your Sword Specialization crits Skithian Windripper for 1433.
5/8 02:04:12.234 You hit Skithian Windripper for 719.

Additional notes: Obviously it's procing off yellow attacks.
I ran into a Shaman, we tested Windfury, it's still generating rage.

None of my sword spec procs were dodged/parried/missed/blocked, but then I was fighting level 64 mobs, not exactly the best pool if you wanna get your attacks avoided.

And yes, Sword spec can still crit.

Good to know. /bump for handy info.

Wow this could be pretty huge if it's true.

Yes you can still miss/parry/dodge a sword spec swing but still ..

Nice info .. Thanks!!!!

PS: Wish my warrior account wasnt fubard on the boards =p

Were you running time stamps? If so can you post a screenshot?
If you do I will be your friend.

props for the effort you put in, bump

Thank you for posting this.

good work!

Interesting...

I do miss my bonereavers.... but the nerf to sword spec ruined that for me, been axe or mace ever since.

Maybe I'll take a look at sword spec with some cheap 2h sword (the halaa one will do nicely for testing) and see how it goes.

As usual, Emeraude with the good info's.

nice work testing this, quite huge.

maybe they will throw in a reitemisation of lionheart to go with it, sad its still clearly behind mooncleaver stat wise.

i hate to tell you this but your combat log doesnt read as it is....
your sword spec shows up before the attack its coming from in the log for some reason

ive 1 shotted a lowbie and got a proc off it from a auto attack and my combat log said

you sword spec x for 1000
you hit x for 1000

those were the only 2 lines in my combat log and sword spec shows up before the attack it came from
its happen to me more then 1 time

test it...combat log isnt always true
