Does Goring Blade replace Rage of Halone?

[ArthurATDayne]

Hi there,

Sprout here, just got to Heavensward and got the skill Goring Blade.

This is better than Rage of Halone yes? In every way? More damage, more DoT. Same recast time?

Can I just take Rage of Halone of my bars forever?

Rage of Halone vs Goring Blade is one of those old leftover Clunky Bad Skill/Trait progression problems that never got fixed or maybe it was forgotten.

So you get Rage of Halone at lvl 26 and use it for a while, then lvl 54 you get Goring Blade which not only hits harder in a combo but applies a nice DOT.

And Rage of Halone is useless... until lvl 60 when it gets Trait upgraded to Royal Authority and hits hard enough to justify using it over Goring Blade whenever you're not applying the DOT. Yeah... so why wasn't the damn Royal Authority upgrade applied sooner like level 50, 52, 54? Who knows...
