Lunge2 and Intimidate2 are pretty good. Berserk2 is decent but getting hit more is not a good thing. Since Berserk1 will be nerfed soon, I guess the only good alternative would be Berserk2.

What about that irritating fact that they can simply get up the next round? You knock 'em down, they get back up. Lunge1 only does like a point of damage....and spamming that is just pathetic. Especially considering its HAM costs.

What I'd like to know, is what are your opinions on these bonuses, is it worth working through all those subrequisites for these bonuses. How much more effective is Berserk2 and Warcry2 etc.? I ask because my secondary profession will probably be CH and I'm curious to see if its worth the Skill Points I would not be able to spend in CH.... please, i'd like to hear anything you have to say.

well since i dont PvP i couldnt tell you about its usefullness but in pvm i think its useless. if you need to use a knockdown just use polearm sweep couse it has much lower HAM costs. imtimidate2 rocks, it halves their dammage for 2 minuits. warcry2 is great couse it stops an enemy in their tracks for as long as brserk1 lasts. as for berserk2 it sucks cause it lasts 2 mins. when my soloing power depends on intimidate2and warcry2 not being able to reapply warcry2 for 2 mins would suck. let alone if i get an add. had to deal with 3 giant carion spats at onec last night and the only reason i could was thanks to imtimidate2 and my generous medic skills. nothing like makeing 3 giant spats do the dammage of 1 and a half

**edit** not haveing a edit option. my first line was supposed to be this
