But, I could easily be classified as a warrior whose primary aggro generation skill is Revenge, and it's why I disagree with you on the point of it not being a "Primary" aggro skill.[right][snapback]98187[/snapback][/right]

But, see... here's the thing. You can't say "I rely on this skill" when you can't rely on that skill. The argument isn't whether sunder or revenge is better -- because (1) it's not even an argument (revenge IS better) and (2) even if you're on drugs and think sunder's better than revenge, you're still going to hit revenge every chance you get.

In other words, I think we're getting semantic here; revenge is bread and butter, but it doesn't form the basis for your decision making. It lights up, you hit it. It's not even a decision you make.

I am not a raid tank like you, Darian

Misapprehension here: although I do tank in raids, I am more prone to be dual-wielding in battle stance in raids, and have been so for several months now as a few folks have surpassed me in terms of pure tanking gear. Most of my tanking remains in 5-man situations.

It should be noted that I am NOT a "taunt" tank, who relies heavily on taunt to put himself at the top of the list.

I'm glad to hear that; I'd be worried about you otherwise. ;D

However, I consider your words "never", "stupid", and "nonsense" regarding Revenge to be wrong in some cases, and have tried to illustrate when and how they are in an effort to open up some minds on this topic.

I'm confused, though; I didn't use those words to in any way indicate that using revenge was improper, under any circumstances. Not only is it the most efficient means of generating hate per rage, the fact that it does damage on top of that makes it almost a mandatory usage when it's available. My arguments are with the wiki (1) claiming that the debate is between sunder and revenge, when it's between sunder and bash, and (2) implying that there's any sort of an argument not to use revenge (which, by claiming the debate is between sunder and revenge, it does).

As I am the main tank for the Lurkers on the Terenas realm, people might want to read some sort of rivalry between us.

Pshaw. The only thing you said here that I even disagree with is that we're in disagreement. ;)
