Blind, Pacification & Raids

[Seku]

your Rage debuff will fall off. In 'hard' content (raid" you dont want the rage combo falling off, and goring/ra is too good of a combo to keep going---> unless the rage debuff was extended, there is no gap to put in a shield strike until you have an absolutely insane amount of skill speed.

I don't know. I personally don't find that much of a difference currently with the Rage Debuff up or down atm. In all the alexander floors, I can Sword oath and still give my healers room to breath and DPS. Dungeon's aren't that hard really without it and yet again I can Swoath. So I normally just go for RA spam. The only thing I haven't done yet is current Primal ex's (damn school), so maybe there.

Well and weaving in between a GB or RA combo is always nice.

Yep, I do that too when I'm starting to lose hate, which is almost never, unless it's to another tank or a hard bursting DPS or heals at the start of fight.
