-Oreos- Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 So what are your thoughts on these two skills (gore being in the carnage spec - 100% armor penetration for 6 seconds) or 20% ignore target's armor (Rage spec). Is there a difference? What does better sustained dmg? need some input - thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibaken Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Carnage does better overall damage with Rage being highly centered around the Smash burst. For PvE I'd recommend Carnage over Rage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkpassenger Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Rage is centered around the smash ability, but doesn't every other spec have a keystone ability it uses? I suppose to answer the question that was asked you would have to look at how often you are getting your 100% penetration buff and decide which in the longer run is best. Every attack doing 20% or 100% on cool down. From what I have read, enough ppl believe carnage is the weakest tree. But that is for you to decide.

Katsuhiku Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Dark pretty much summed it up. You'd have to see how often you get the 100% penetration. One neat thing for Gore is that you get to decide when you get that penetration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibaken Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 The main thing about Gore is that your two main damaging abilities with Carnage - Scream and Ravage - can both go off during it. It also allows you to time Adrenals/Relics for maximum burst potential. As I've said before, though, comparing two higher-tier talents from two different trees isn't a very smart thing to do. Rage's Armor Pen is passive and therefore affects everything. Gore, like I explained above, is a key component in Carnage's damage dealing. Saying which one is better than the other outside the context of each spec is futile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkpassenger Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 My advice for you is to find a spec you are comfortable with and enjoy playing. I haven't heard of a lot of people rolling Carnage, mostly Annihilation. I myself play Rage and I haven't rolled into any issue with a lack of dps. People will tell you its not good, but we won't know until we get some numbers. With the upcoming buff to Anni dots, it seems that it will be the spec to play with in theory.
