So...about Arcanist

Not that you're wrong, but I wanted to point out that Skull Sunder has its 3.5x enmity multiplier even when used out of combo. So, even though it's a 100 potency attack out of combo, it still does 350 potency worth of enmity generation. That's almost as much as a non-ranged tomahawk (tomahawk is 390 enmity potency). In the very early dungeons, before you get Butcher's Block, a MRD spamming Skull Sunder is almost as effective at holding aggro as one that uses Heavy Swing -> Skull Sunder (average enmity of pure Skull Sunder: 350, average enmity of 1-2 combo: 425).

Had to look that up, thanks for the info, I did not know that the enmity was 350 potency str8 up.

There is some disagreement on whether the enmity multiplier for Skull Sunder is 3.5x or 3x. Either way, you can totally hold aggro with it as a cross-class skill....... in Sastasha (Normal) (and likely the other early dungeons as well, up through Toto-rak).
