Talent Choices Thread

Which talents should I choose in the first tree? Is "Rage Frenzy" or "Addicted To Rage" better?

 

Ive gone back and forth on these. Initially i used the one that gave more rage from being hit, but now i use the one that gives more rage from basic attack hits delivered.

I think the way to think about is based on gear, game play and attack speed and style. If you are a 2H with high armor who likes to be in the middle of a mob, the one where opponent or monster hits is going to work well. If you are a 1H with a lot of attack speed and travel speed that likes to stun and attack in pvp, the one where you get rage for basic attack that you deliver is probably better.

 

For me, My DK's are all addicted My reasoning is the 3/4 of the classes in PvP are ranged attackers and in PvE at least 1/3 of the mobs and all bosses have a ranged attacked. I figure I'm gonna get hit on my way in so I might as well have some rage when I get there. BTW, never use Battle Cry to build rage to begin an attack in PvE or PvP. I see a lot of DK's do this from low to endgame level and get a chuckle out of it every time (thinking, "hey dude, or dudette, you are going to need that later while it's in cooldown".)

There is a catch to this strategy. The DK's build need to be tough at first and keep the build tough all the through your level up in either (or both) PvE and PvP. HP has to drain off slowly as rage builds quickly.

There is also a disadvantage when facing another DK with a build as tough in PvP. I either have to land my first jump or use battle cry before I want to or else I wind up stunned before weapons start flying (except for my DK w/ 40% travel speed in PvP. Then I just make then miss until their stuns, jump and battle cry are in cooldown ) But then a lot of the time I can take that if they don't hit hard enough. Then I just wake up from my little snooze with full rage and get down to business

Luck be with ye,

Okay, should I get Willing and Ready(Rage Jump cooldown -25%) or Sudden Wrath(Battle cry cooldown -25%)?

--MERGED--

Is Stunning Attack (Your charge now stuns all hit enemies for 3,0 (PvP: 1,3) seconds) better than Earth Shaker (You no longer need rage to use a ground breaker)?

 

How should one spend Knowledge tree points?

 

The middle tree? There are no choices, just spend them to acquire the skills.
