What lvl 30 trait upgrade?

<DIV>I was going to take Baloks furious challenge ( you can use it more often) OR the Zerker barrage one ( as it stuns). What would you take?</DIV>

I chose Balok's and haven't regretted it once. The 20 second reuse timer just makes a huge difference. <div></div>

<P>Yup, Balok's all the way.  It's the best taunt you'll get (before the expansion, anyway).</P> <P>Compare it to Fearsome Shout, at level 50:  Balok's (at mastery) grants 411 increased hate every 20 seconds.  Fearsome Shout at 50, Adept I, is about 515 every 30 seconds.  Obviously over a minute, Balok's can be used 3 times and FS you can use twice, so Balok's actually gives you 20% more hate every minute.  But there's another advantage to Balok's.  It sends you Berserk every time... which in turn generates MORE hate.  So while it states it adds 411 hate, that extra Berserk proc will give you, say, another 50 (I'm guestimating).  Even better!</P> <P>Not only that, but you can use it to finish HO's while soloing and you get a berserk every time.  AND it works on epics.  </P> <P>With regards to the Barrage specialisation... you get an option at level 40 to pick an AOE interrupt (upgrade to Wallop - Taron's Slicing Blades).  This interrupts every mob in an encounter, which is far better than the Barrage specialisation which will only stun the two that you hit.  Plus you get an upgrade to Berserker's Barrage (Berserker's Assault) at level 44, whereas you DON'T get anything better than Balok's in terms of taunts.</P> <P>Get Balok's Furious Chant and be set with your taunts all the way to 50.</P><p>Message Edited by Adrenachrome on <span class=date_text>08-04-2005</span> <span class=time_text>05:02 PM</span>

<DIV>Thanks a million! I am going to go Baloks! I have one last request. We are going to get a respec coming and my LVL 20 trait is NOW Cains bleeder blades or such wich is OK and interupts but I was going to go with the Taunting blow upgrade as we have NO other upgrade for it and is nice to throw in to add extra hate. Anyone have ideas on that as well?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks again!!</DIV>
