Devastate and Sunder Armour?Follow

Hi all,

This may be a slightly noob question, but once 5 sunders are on a target, which attack causes the most threat, sunder armour or devastate? Do I read the threat calculations correctly in thinking that devastate completely replaces sunder armour or am I wrong?

Thanks to all in advance!

devastate after the 'fix' should always be used over sunder armor for threat.

They're not useless. Imp. sunder armor reduces the rage cost of devastate as well. Knowing is half the battle.

You will if you tank multiple mobs. You can use sunder safely on a CC'ed mob without breaking the CC, whereas devastate will cause damage and break the CC. Sunder is still very useful in this situation and does wonders for keeping that formerly shackled undead from heading straight for your healer when he busts out.

Yes, I taunt mobs directly before breaking the CC and that works fine.

I completely took Sunder Armor off my action bars when I specced for Devastate. I don't use it.

That said, I did put the points in Imp Sunder and I'm very sad that I did. Why, you ask? Because I see no point in it, because I only tank Heroics and Raids, and I am not rage starved there. Quite the opposite. I find myself spamming Heroic Strike just so I'm not sitting at 100 rage.
