Skills Questions

Thx in advance for any comments.

These questions are related to good skills for leveling. I am currently lvl 70. Main skills are shatter (max), double attack (to level needed), Rupture (max). Here are the questions:

Which is best for another attack skill Pummel or Giant Swing. I know Pummel is a favorite of most but early on I found it was not any better then my auto so I switched to GS. Should I switch back and why?

Currently using Protective Stance, should I switch to Frenzy?

Finally, what about Defensive Position, is it worth putting points into?

By the way currently my build is higher strength then vit but will be switching to more vit as I level.

Thx Again

Pummel is matter of gear / high str build, i have 815 str so my pummel hits high and fast, but its bad on bosses altough that shouldnt matter for u
Swing if u prefer that, i have pummel maxed and swing at 26 (i got imperial blue helm from event dragon)
both Proc Stance and Frenzy are amazing skills, using Frenzy will mean it'll be a costly build, use if u can afford
Defensive Formation* is a good skill as an extra, u could put extra pts u will have in that skill

i also got high str than vit, 815 str 300 vit rest is base, but im dps and its costly build, i do pot a lot for health, and die a lot for bosses, so u choose what to pick

Just a note on frenzy, i run above average str (360 ish) and op attacks shatter max+5 and rup max+4.
I use ps because i found i miss 30+% more shots with frenzy and my damage measured over several mobs was actually lower even though the shots that hit were higher.

Dont make ppl mistaken, stop saying something that cant even happen

Frenzy doesnt make u miss more, with the over 1.1k attack it adds for me which gets me to 4329 attack, i see a huge difference and mostly on bosses

Ok i am big enough to admit i made a mistake.

I went and retried frenzy a little and i dont think i miss many if any more shots but i do hit much harder.
