How was this comment downrated? It's hysterical! I guess I'll explain: the hamstring is a major muscle in the thigh (near the back). By damaging it (with an ability like this that, I assume, pulls it in some way), the owner of said hamstring would become crippled. The point being that it's a muscle in the LEGS! The comment was that it's effective against worms and snakes. For those of you unfamiliar with said critters, they've got no legs, ie, no hamstrings.
This used to be part of a Fury warriors single target rotation at lvl 60, no kidding.
1 handed Fury warriors used to have quite a long idle time between Bloodthirst and Whirlwind cooldowns (WW was also part of the single target rotation back then), 6s and 10s respectively.
High-end fury warriors had near infinite rage, so inbetween these 2 main attacks they would spam near non-stop Heroic Strikes as well as Hamstring - which back then dealt a tiny ammount of damage. The reason why hamstring was used as a filler attack was that any crit no matter how small would proc Deep Wounds (60% weapon damage over 12s) and Flurry (25% melee haste for the next 3 auto-attacks), for this reason "Spamstring" contributed significantly to a fury warriors Flurry uptime and also contributed to damage through Deep Wounds.
Just some useless history on Hamstring.
