My hopes are that by using this template, I can spend my time while grouping (which is the majority) in Defensive Mode. While in defensive mode, I will dual wield weapons (or use 2 hander) while fighting common trash mobs. When a boss is encountered, and AC is needed, I will switch my off-hand weapon with a shield for the added armor. 2-Handed weapons are also viable while using this build.
So far, using the talents I have spec’d out here, I have been able to deal decent to above average damage in most cases, despite the weapon combo I have equipped, and have also be able to tank & control agro in instances. Hopefully for PVP this will also make me a viable group member as the majority of my abilities are enhanced and useful for PVP.
The one shortcoming I find in this template is an absience of Tactial Mastery. I simply could not find anywhere to fit it in with without sacrificing armor/agro or the Flurry skill from the Fury tree. Any observations &/or criticism would be greatly appreciated. Also, can anyone confirm that all the Fury talents I have selected will work while in Defensive Mode? Thanks.
