Thayan Boon?

I'll be unlocking my final Thayan boon on my HR sometime next week, and I'm having real trouble deciding which one to choose.

to be honest, all of the seem a little...........underwhelming.


Augmented Thayan Bastion: 500 damage in an Epic dungeon is a pinprick, reflecting it back is nice, but again, is only 500 damage (at most) once every minute

Rampaging Madness: looks awesome, till you realize that it comes up AT MOST once every 50 seconds (and then only if you're attacking every second) AND you cant properly time when it goes off, meaning it could easily be wasted on an easy encounter

Endless Consumption: my current contender, if only because the other options just arent that great. my only concern is the % chance to proc. i cant find any info, does anyone know how often it goes off?

Burning Guidance: at first glance, my mind said, "skip it," then i thought about it a bit. I DO have a weak HoT skill (oak skin), it might be interesting if BG procs off of it. does anyone know if this works? is the damage potential there, or am I coo-coo for coco puffs?

    You're right, they all pretty much suck unless you're a healer. Personally this will never become an issue as I have no intention of going past the fourth boon, but if you HAD to make a choice I think EC is really the only least bad choice out of a group of worse choices. Just my opinion mind you so take it how you will

    If you are a lifesteal build go ec, otherwise go madness, it's better than it sounds.

    Madness is ok for HRs (and CWs) but I'll be hitting up the Lifesteal one.
    Obsidian Moonlight - Paladin
    Obsidian Oath - Warlock
    A whole lot of other Obsidian toons as well.

    wow, 3 of the ppl whose opinion i wanted answered

    so it looks like the consensus is either EC or RM

    so for me, the deciding factor comes down to the EC proc rate. high rate of procs, i'll take EC, low procs, i'll go with RM

    so the question remains, does anyone know how often EC procs?

    Well that's interesting. I might have to unlock these just to confirm his findings

    thats some interesting stuff. particularly about RM not working as described.

    but if he's correct and the EC proc rate is even close to 40-50%, seems like i'll be going that route
