Putting Research Assistant to work?

[RafaelSmith]

<p>These are the T8 abilities that I still do not have at Master 1.  Which would be the best choice to have researched first?  My gut tells me Decimate since I do not believe I have ever seen it drop or on the broker.</p><p>-Call of Shielding-Decimate-Exact Strike-Head Trauma-Hold The Aggression-Immobility-Overmatch-Retaliatory Strike-Staggering Charge-Stance: Armored</p>

<p>For me it was between hold the aggression and decimate. I already have dstance mastered or I would have probably picked that tbh.</p><p>I chose decimate over hold the aggression because of gut feeling, more dps, and the more I avoid the less hold the aggression procs.</p><p>I'll probably get unyielding will next because it's only 7 days and I want it. I use it far more than recapture anyway.</p>

<p>Yeah cant decide between Decimate and D-Stance.</p><p>I know lately i use Decimate WAY WAY WAY more than D-Stance.</p>

[Rahatmattata]

<p>Just get decimate then. Dstance master isn't going to do a whole lot more for you. Extra 3 or 4 parry and defense... meh. Then again decimate master won't make a huge difference either, so do you want a hair more dps and threat or a hair more contested avoidance when you happen to use dstance? I use dstance quite a bit, but if you rarely use it /shrug.</p>

<p>Think I got decimate for 60, I just had guard, hate proc, and taunting blow, i took the taunting blow. Of yours i'd take decimate  more hate is always good these days.</p>

<p>Decimate rarely misses at a3.</p><p>I would take hold the aggression, its generally the more expensive one anyway.</p>
