Just keep it as high as possible since your avoidance/kd/punt depend on it. I limit wasting my hate only on Furious Howl and Bolstering Anger.TheSockPuppet wrote: as well as your hate resource management and how you balance it with your abilities/tactics that scale on hate?
The statement of soul killer being bad/useless/etc is false
Firstly in orvr black guard role is not to "guard" and what not like a tradational tank, rather it is to go 2H spec and spam crimson death with it's associated debuffs
However with the recent changes that enhanced the potency of AoE, orvr is no longer about massive blobs going back and forth but is now about engagements on a smaller scale and at that level soul killer is still very effective
The tactic stacks with incommig heal debuffs todebuff a healers healing by 75%
Additionally by it's self the ability can debuff more than 50% healing becuase it debuffs outgoing healing by 50% and mind killer debuffs willpower weakening their healing ability further
Also unlike an mdps hdbuff soul killer can't be cleansed effectively b/c mind killer has no cd
