Its benefits are purely offensive. It achieves this by intimidating nearby enemies and exerting your next few attacks to deal double damage.
Does exert in general and the double damage work with ailments?

In this particular case double damage is a hit-only mechanic. With Rallying Cry, which has x% more damage - that would work with ailments.
There was no demo of the General's WC in that example vid right? I'm not imagining things?
You are correct. We will preview that one a little closer to launch.
Warcry cast speed should scale with attack speed (somehow) not cast speed if they want people to seriously consider not grabbing that keystone.
Warcries are not spells, they are not affected by cast speed modifiers.
do they count as minions tho? are are they just an mirager archer type of thing where you cant build around that specific type?
They don't count as minions. They're Mirage Warriors, similar to The Saviour.
Do all warcries have the same base range? Would it be possible to get the base range for each of them?
They have the same Area of Effect, yes.
They look sexy, what's the little counter on the skills' icon bex? Number of exerts?
Yes
The new system now counts magic, rare and unique enemies proportionate to their power so that your Warcry scales more effectively with the content you're facing.
Is "power" a real thing or is it just an alternative to using "rarity"?
I'm not used to GGG using words with a meaning in the place of a word with less meaning. Shaper having the same "power" as Hillock for example seem wrong.
Hopefully this gets changed to rarity if it means that.
Currently this works by counting normal monsters as one, magic monsters as two, rare as ten and unique as twenty.
So General's Cry is a 1-hit minion+atk skill, does it consume corpses?
It doesn't consume corpses.
Thanks Bex!
Only one mystery remains:
Do the corpses get used? :D
No
Can you confirm whether rallying cry’s added weapon damage buff only applies to nearby allies or does it include yourself?
The buff (added damage equal to % of main-hand weapon damage) is only for allies. The bonus it applies to you is the more damage modifier for the attacks it exerts (which scales with number of allies).
Hi Mark. Does Rallying Cry affect the warriors created by General's Cry?
Technically yes. They are allies, so will probably receive the buff, but that doesn't matter because they don't have any skills of their own which could benefit from improving their damage.
They use your skill, so Rallying Cry giving you a more damage buff will improve the damage of that skill This bit was unclear and confusing because I used the wrong terms. If an ally uses Rallying Cry, that gives you an added damage buff, which will affect your skills as used by the warriors. Rallying Cry never gives a more damage buff, it gives more damage to exerted attacks, which only applies to attacks you perform - Exerting isn't about the skills being yours, it's about you being the one using them.
That makes sense, thanks.
They use your skill, so Rallying Cry giving you a more damage buff will improve the damage of that skill.
I understand that to mean that they will consume your stack of exerted attacks. Is that correct?
Edit: sorry, I misunderstood "exert your next few attacks". I thought it was a limited number of attacks (which fit the slow but hard hitting theme) but from the videos it actually seems to be a time-limited buff.
Edit 2: The post actually specifies "(Note: we'll reveal what number of exerted attacks each Warcry creates closer to launch)". So my initial understanding was correct and the video just doesn't display that information.
No. Warcries only Exert attacks you perform. The warriors are the ones attacking, they are just using your skill to do it.
In that case, would warriors using smite supported by generosity not grant the buff to yourself because they're still counting as self?
They are not "counting as self". That's not a thing. They are using your skill - if that skill is supported by Generosity, then auras from that skill can't affect you. That doesn't depend on who uses it.
If it's not supported by Generosity then I suspect the aura still won't affect you because they'll stop existing once they've used the skill.
I suspect the aura still won't affect you because they'll stop existing once they've used the skill.
You can buff someone then die and leave the instance and they keep the buff so why is this different?
If you have an aura that's buffing someone, and leave the instance, the aura goes with you and will no longer be buffing them.
In the patch notes it's mentioned that the attacks by the Mirage Warriors from General's Cry are Exerted. Has this changed over the last week or are the patch notes incorrect?
General's Cry does not Exert any attacks. But attacks made by the Mirage Warriors count as Exerted - this allows them to benefit from any of your global bonuses to exerted attacks.
Hi Mark;
How are Mirage Warriors using Tectonic Slam? Are they able to consume the player's Endurance Charges to create extra fissures and gain more area? If so, does this happen the third time any Warrior attacks (e.g. if I spawn six warriors, two of them will consume Endurance Charges), every third time the player uses General's Cry, or at some other rate? Does the player using Tectonic Slam themselves interact with this counter?
consume the player's Endurance Charges to create extra fissures and gain more area
Tectonic Slam does not do this any more.
?
Tectonic Slam
Now consumes an endurance charge every third time you create a fissure, and gains 5% more area of effect and +5% branching fissure chance per endurance charge.
Those are distinct things. It does not consume endurance charges to get bonuses. It consumes an endurance charge every third slam, and separately, it has bonuses for each endurance charge you have.
Ah alright, I have misunderstood the patch notes then. To rephrase my question:
How are Mirage Warriors using Tectonic Slam? Do they gain more area and chance for branching fissures depending on the player's number of Endurance Charges? Do they consume the player's Endurance Charges every third slam? If so, does this happen the third time any Warrior attacks (e.g. if I spawn six warriors, two of them will consume Endurance Charges), every third time the player uses General's Cry, or at some other rate? Does the player using Tectonic Slam themselves interact with this counter?
Do they gain more area and chance for branching fissures depending on the player's number of Endurance Charges
Yes. They are using your skill, which has your stats.
Do they consume the player's Endurance Charges every third slam?
No. They are using the attack, not you. They (probably) do not have endurance charges to consume. They also can't use the attack 3 times in the first place to need to consume a charge - each Mirage Warrior only uses the skill once.
