[Chosen] A few beginner questions about Chosen

[schizo]

Hello everyone, I've got some beginner questions about Chosen, and I'd appreciate the help. I have decided to go 2h, in case it matters.

1. Is there any reason to use Enraged Blow over Ravage or Cleave?
2. Is it true that Ravage should be used against enemies in medium/heavy armor, while Cleave should be used against light armor targets?
3. I seem to run out of AP quickly. What's the best way to solve it?
4. Do auras that affect "all groupmates within 100 feet" (such as Dreadful Terror, for example) affect yourself too?
5. What stats should I prioritise? What should I spend renown points on?
6. And finally, how does 2h Chosen perform in the end game? What is he compared to other 2h tanks?

I'm only level 7 but so far I'm having a lot of fun. Just wanted to make sure that the class is still relevant later on.

Many thanks in advance.

1. Not unless you are doing pve. I wouldn't even have it in the bar unless you are tanking an instance.

2. Generally ravage is the go to damage ability as it doesn't require ws. I recommend only using cleave when your opponent has 100% block or parry buff active.

3. Better gear will help as you level on top of that there's the ap aura and 2 separate tactics that can be added although you shouldn't strictly need them.

4. Indeed they do so you basically have a few hundred free points of stats. This is the cause of much debate atm.

5. Renown spec will be based on play style and what you prefer.

6. Not the highest dps of all the tanks but its still a chosen at the end of the day so its never completely weak however it's best group specs atm are shield based due to the suitability offered

If so, which tank has highest dps? And are there any exact stat values I should be going for?

Hmm highest dps Tank on destro side is Black orc, and Black orc can be played with shield As dps. So If you want to Make a good Single target dmg with a Tank. Play Black Orc

Tanks don't buy stats with renown. Things like parry,block, dodge/disrupt and resolute defence are more valuable to them. Playing a dps tank however is a completely different kettle of fish and striking a balance between having some dps and not being the squishiest tank in the world will take some experimentation.
