D0 Combat Sents ever use Regular strike at 55 to gain focus these days?

Do combat sents ever use Regular strike at 55 to gain rage these days? I was just wondering about focus generation for combat sents at 55 since i dont have one, is zealous strike enough to keep your rage up at 55 or do you still have to use regular strike too? thanks lads

Sure, about 5% of total damage is strike. The less the better. Edited June 19, 2013 by atschai

If you are practicing on the dummy you will use it frequently; however, in real combat due to Defensive Forms you will use it much less.

Have to use it from time to time to have enough focus for burst phases and be able to hit 49apm.

You can talent spec Zealous strike to have a much faster cooldown,, which helps loads. Also, Force stasis helps add 3 more focus points, as well as keeps the enemy from attacking for 3 seconds.

 

You'll likely use strike on the odd occasion, but you'll find you won't be using it nearly as much as the other talent trees

I use it probably once every 3 PvP matches or for a lag in focus which only happens in long encounters with a healer at my back

[Ausgelebt]

in pve you don't use force stasis at all. Focus management in pvp is way easier

Yes, I Strike quite a bit. I always Strike between Precision Slash windows if Zealous Strike is down. Also, I alternate Blade Rush > Strike as my spam filler while awaiting the CD on Precision Slash unless I have a surplus of Focus (which does happen on occasion).

On stationary fights, I do find myself striking/assaulting once in a while. On fights when I need to break off regularly - almost never.
