So how is power slam now?

Since db is out on pc, I'm curious what kind of damage the new power slam is putting out, with and without the 50% boost after blocking an attack. How is it collating to things like wrecking blow or snipe for burst damage?

Nobody tried it yet?

I tried it on my sorc.
With 3700 wpnd dmg and 36k stam, my Power Slam Tooltip said ~ 9.5k physical damage (without the 25% bonus dmg)

Overall, i thought it was good. I tried it out for one pvp sesh and i was impressed at the 5-8k hits i was doing once i procced the bonus damage and got some crits in. Since it has no CC, i had to find it somewhere else (invasion). In my opinion, Power Slam works best for defensive type playstyles and smallscale fights. The more reduce block cost you have, and the more damage/stam you have, the harder it will hit because youre blocking more (proccing bonus dmg) and dishing it out to them.
Weave heroic slash (or other dps u have) with it and finish them off with Dawnbreaker.

The only reason why i let go of power slam was because it had no CC and the defile from Reverb Bash has always appealed to me more. But im defnitely trying it again because was an interesting playstyle. Defense is your offense is a way i would describe it.

I do like the playstyle too.
However, it does about the same damage as my heroic slash... without any debuff (heroic has slow and minor defile) and costs more. There is no point in using it (perhaps if a glyph can enhance it ? glyph of shielding perhaps, nut I don't know if cost of bash means standard bash or power bash).

I have 2,7K wp damage whitouht procs.
