Level 75: Recommended choice - Storm Bolt Never Surrender is the worst talent on this tier, which is very situational, and requires you to be near to 0 Health to grant any significant effect. Indomitable isn't a bad pick either, but it just slightly increases your effective Health pool, making it a very mediocre pick against Raid Bosses. It's the best pick for this tier, which greatly enhances an already potent defensive cooldown Best Served Cold increases the damage of Revenge skill, but this could be only rendered useful in fights that have your Revenge's Rage constantly removed by blocking and parryingīolster reduces the cooldown of Last Stand by 60 seconds and, on top of that, it makes you block all incoming melee attacks for the duration. It grants unparalleled damage increase on this tier and helps you generate Rageĭragon Roar is also a decent Rage generating skill and a potent AoE slow but the gap between the Unstoppable Force's damage is too high to consider it. Unstoppable Force increases the damage of Thunder Clap by 100% and reduces its cooldown by 50%.

It reduces the cooldown of Heroic Leap and grants you increased mobility after using it, making it a great mobility skill.Ĭrackling Thunder increases the radius of Thunder Clap, and while being useful, it merely makes the skill more convenient to use but has no meaningful impact on actual encounters. Level 30: Recommended choice - Bounding Strideīounding Stride is, in general, the most useful talent on this Tier. Otherwise, it has no uses in end-game PvE. It is a good finisher skill which will heal you for 20% of your maximum Life if you kill an enemy that yields experience. On the other hand, Impending Victory is a decent pick for leveling. Punish is a decent pick as well, however much more suited for Mythic+ progression, when you don't fully benefit from Into the Fray. This is the best choice for Raids and also one of the best choices overall Into the Fray gives you up to 15% increased Haste 3% for each nearby enemy or ally. Level 15: Recommended choice - Into the Fray It also increases your Armor thanks to Vanguard which passively reduces all your physical damage taken
