Normally I would be all for using frenzy in HOH since nobody ever specifically targets me.

However, last night I was getting so owned by chain lightning damage that I was getting targetted after the first chain lightning wave since the healers I guess were busy healing themselves...

Maybe with the FOTM chain lightning builds its time to put away the frenzy for now? But there are still a lot of people who will defend its use right now even during FOTM...

Any thoughts?

Use flurry. There is no downside to the skill like frenzy.

Use Berzerker Stance or Battle Rage {E}.

Berserker and Battle Rage are over when you use a skill... so if he is using "Fear Me" those two skills are no good for it. Berserker is best for Hammer Warriors imo... not sword or axe.

It's actually Flavour of the month. Meaning, Air Spike Ele builds are the FOTM.

you can run frenzy, but you need protective spirit on almost all the time ;p

End result - No Frenzy until *en masse* Chain Lightnings cease in HOH?

There were people defending the usage of this even during FOTM, where are they?

A bit OT:

FYI, Battle Rage does not end as long as you use attack skills.

Hahahah! At first I'm like, must be a typo. Then he says it again! HAHAHAHAHAH. That's awesome. Favor of the month. Dude, you are priceless.

Anyways, I would keep frenzy. With the air spike builds, if they target you, you can kyagb. So, if you are going to die no matter what, then you might as well keep frenzy and pack some damage in while you can. Not every team you come up with is going to be using the "Favor of the Month" air-spike build, so you don't want to go and completely revamp your build to be an air-spike hater and get owned by everything else. Personally I'm not a frenzy kinda guy, but I'm assuming this thread is on the topic of keeping it because of air-spike, not on keeping it because it is good or not.

There isn't just one downside to Flurry, there is two: you deal less damage, and it costs 3 pips of energy regeneration to keep up. With Frenzy, you deal the same damage, and it only costs 2 pips of energy regeneration to keep up indefinitely.
