    Holmgang PvE

    Can somebody please tell me what the point in using Holmgang is outside of PvP (which i hear isnt as good as it should be) because its got a crap range of 6 yalms, and binds you and a target. Most targets (in dungeons) should be focused on you anyway. By the time you realize a stray enemy, its probably already out of 6 yalms distance.

    Doesnt do much else.

    And lets not discuss the Cooldown.

    So really, whats the point? or do all classes get 1 useless skill?

    Useful in WP when the Blob tries to chase other players. That's about it.

    When the target does an AoE/attack that has a charge time, step to their side and use it. You still have the hate, but they are forced facing away so they don't attack anyone. I am sorry, this was really simple concept. Try using a little imagination here.

    If you hit it in time, the whole not dying thing is handy.. It'll buy the healer a second to bene after roto, death sentence, hood swipe, etc.

    Holmgang is a great oh shiet is hitting the fan move, especially on bosses where the healers become overtaxed and your about to be out healed dpsed by the boss. Poping the move is the difference between a wipe and a win. Ask anybody on turn 1 how important that move is on keeping yourself alive long enough for the dps to limit break the boss when the snake has 8 stacks. There's no way your surviving that without a kill negation move.
