    Plague fire is really good.

    And it works fine both PVE or PVP, regardless of your build.

    Terror is good too. Most people use Plague Fire so stacking it with your group helps them.

    With various skills getting an increase to the target cap, a hefty Frost enchant of some kind in your PvE weapon is worth considering, it has an incredible effect with AoE skills. Otherwise, Bronzewood or Plaguefire are solid. For PvP, look at Bronzewood or Plaguefire, I suppose.

    Bronze wood, lightning and life drinker are probably the best options for a gf. I don't like plague fire on a gf because they don't attack fast enough or hit enough enemies compared to other aoe classes.

    I disagree, I tried Bronzewood for sometime smashing dummies and changing back and forth with Plaguefire and Plague was superior in every scenario, the 20 sec ITCD on Bronzewood was crippling whilst the Plague could stack and stack and reset and stack again setting up decent combos

    As for Lifedrinker I tried it and its no based on damage done its based on Weapon Damage and high level weapon I think is 661 damage max! So Lifedrinker: You deal an additional 8.8% of weapon damage as Necrotic damage with your powers, then heal yourself for that amount.    661 weapon damage / perfect lifedrinker returns 8.8% = 58 hp! 58 hp is WEAKSAUCE!

    on dummies for sure. But Bronzewood is still a solid enchant that gives some great burst damage in pvp. Also its cooldown is on individual targets, so you can proc it something then use encounter on something else to proc it again, plaguefire is also good, but like others said we attack slow and its going to fall off alot in pvp.

    I like Lightning for the additional aggro I get. It can fork to mooks hitting your DC so you do not have to walk over there to pick him up.

    Agreed, Shield Smashing a GWF while he pounds on it to lay a TI on him with 3 stacks and start your rotation is good. Its all about what you like... PLus bronzewood is a lame leafy look and only shows when swinging

    Plaguefire is superior in every way than bronzewood every threatening rush you do to a group of mobs automatically applies 2 stacks of plague to the marked targets in and around the mob you initally targeted followed by one cleave or weapons master strike you are now at full stacks of plague fire on those targets rinse and repeat bronzewood you have to use your encounters on diffrent targets to reset the cooldown it's meant for more single target use. also with the mod 4 changes to ET and the 20 cap plague trumps all.

    For group utility I use Terror or Plague Fire, depending on what the others have, I haven't used Holy Avenger yet, but it does seems kinda nice. Also, if you use a debuff enchant (like terror of plague fire) plus Tide of Iron on the big guys expect their HP bars to go down way faster.

    Yep :), I've used Greater Lightning on live and even there you feel like a aggro machine, especially if you use Knight's Valor + SoS, you see like everything in a radious of 60' starting to hit you, I sold Greater Lightning and I'm trying now to save for Perfect.

    Plaguefire, New mark which is 20% mod 4, ARP, = really nice damage boost

    Mod 4 is not here yet.

    Also i'm not sure if plaguefire stacks with others using it, that's why I swicht to terror.
