Modifier

Requirements

  • Thunder Clap learned; first recorded spellbook level 6.
  • Requires Battle Stance, Defensive Stance
  • Whirlwind learned; first recorded spellbook level 36.
  • Requires Berserker Stance
  • Thunder Clap: Battle or Defensive Stance. Whirlwind: Berserker Stance and a usable melee weapon.

Known limitations

  • Research only: not tested in the Forever client. Beta spell names, parser behaviour and requirements may change.
  • English spell names; check your spellbook and actual learned rank. Source IDs identify reference ranks, not a forced rank-1 cast.
  • Range, line of sight, resources, cooldowns and the global cooldown still apply. A macro does not detect readiness or choose your next combat action.
  • Neither branch needs a selected target. Area damage can break crowd control and engage nearby enemies. No stance swap is performed.
  • Keep the listed modifier combination free of conflicting action-bar bindings. Each chosen spell requires its own keypress; this is not a sequence.

Notes

  • Researched 27 September 2026 against source beta build 1.60.1.70009. Spec lists are recommendations; actual learned spells and selected talents determine eligibility.
