Patched: SimulationCraft needs a fix to play Blizzard's list for this spec.Patch 0001-warrior-sba-auto-attack-rend-dot-crushing-blow. SimulationCraft added the weapon swings after the assistant's always-castable abilities, so they never started. The patch starts the swings first. (Its check for a missing Rend used to look for the wrong DoT name; SimulationCraft fixed that itself on 28 Oct.) The Raging Blow button did not become Crushing Blow during Recklessness as it does in the game. The patch lets it. Without the fix (SimulationCraft as published, or Raidbots) the assistant's figures differ; manual play is not affected.

Patched: SimulationCraft needs a fix to play Blizzard's list for this spec.Patch 0019-warrior-fury-sba-bloodbath-thunder-blast. In the game, Bloodthirst becomes Bloodbath during Recklessness (Reckless Abandon) and Thunder Clap becomes Thunder Blast while its buff is up (Mountain Thane). SimulationCraft never pressed the new buttons, so in those windows the button skipped those steps. Blizzard's own list has a Thunder Clap step for when Thunder Blast is up, which only works if the button becomes Thunder Blast. The patch lets each button become its replacement; the manual rotation does not change. Without the fix (SimulationCraft as published, or Raidbots) the assistant's figures differ; manual play is not affected.

Best raid talents for the button

For one-button play on a raid boss, import this build: +8.7% damage with SBA + cooldown over SimulationCraft's raid build.

Talent search for the button on the raid boss, 4-piece set (2026-11-10): it starts from SimulationCraft's raid build, tries every legal single talent swap, keeps the ones that add damage and repeats, never touching a defensive talent; a build wins only when it beats SimulationCraft's raid build by more than 0.2 %. Perfect manual play keeps SimulationCraft's raid build, so the Ranking compares the button on its best talents with the best manual build.

Talents changed: it drops Executioner's Wrath, Massacre, Odyn's Fury, Opportunist, Storm of Blood and takes Deft Experience (2 points), Fierce Followthrough, Intervene, Scent of Blood. Defensive talents stay: no build that drops one is offered. The search only counts damage, so check you can do without what it drops (a utility spell, for example).

How it's measured, and its limits

SBA + cooldown is a best case: the simulator never misplays. It is always better to sim your own character.
Manual play is SimulationCraft's own rotation executed perfectly, so it is an upper bound for what a person can do, not a typical player.
Assisted Highlight assumes every suggestion is seen and pressed at once, which is generous for a player reading the highlight.
The M+ dungeon is SimulationCraft's own DungeonSlice fight style, its approximation of Mythic+ pulls, not a specific dungeon route.
Best talents for the button: of SimulationCraft's build, the top 10 Mythic+ players' builds on murlok.io and a talent search for the button, the one that deals the most with SBA + cooldown in the M+ dungeon. Gear and rotation are unchanged.
SimulationCraft ships no profile for some hero talents (9 here). Those use SimulationCraft's gear with a top player's build: a top Mythic+ player's build on murlok.io in M+, and on the raid boss the most played build in top raid kills on Warcraft Logs when there are any, otherwise SimulationCraft's raid talents with that Mythic+ build's hero talents (or the Mythic+ build itself where it deals more). No talent search for the button has been run for them yet.
SimulationCraft ships no profile at all for Devastation Evoker and Balance Druid. Those use the median gear of real +15 players, raised to the item level of SimulationCraft's profiles, with the build most real players use (or a top player's build where too few play that hero talent), and a talent search for the button.
