Improved Slam is a passive talent in the Warrior Arms tree in the Forever beta 1.60.1.70170 with October 1–2 community hotfix overlay source data.

Community hotfix overlay. The source combines build 70170 with community readings of the October 1–2 server hotfix cache. These values and tree positions are not all present in the raw client files and have not been independently tested by this wiki. See provenance and source conflicts.

Ranks

Descriptions below preserve the source wording. Rank labels describe the source evidence; they are not independent gameplay verification.

Rank	Effect	Evidence
1	Reduces the global cooldown and cast time of your Slam ability by 0.25 sec. In addition, Slam no longer interrupts or delays your melee swing and Slam's cooldown is reduced by 3.0 sec.	Source reports client / community hotfix data
2	Reduces the global cooldown and cast time of your Slam ability by 0.50 sec. In addition, Slam no longer interrupts or delays your melee swing and Slam's cooldown is reduced by 3.0 sec.	Source reports client / community hotfix data

Source discrepancy

The licensed hotfix overlay lists a 3.0-second Slam cooldown reduction at both ranks; the source author explicitly flags the earlier development-note value of 1.5 seconds at rank 1. This is an unresolved source discrepancy, not an independently verified correction. See the source comparison.
