When generating threat, it is good to know what skills and abilities generate the most thread. The currently accepted level 70 threat values are as follows:
| Sunder Armor | 301 |
| Heroic Strike | 220 |
| Revenge | 201 |
| Shield Bash | 230 |
| Shield Slam | 307 |
| Devastate | 101 |
| Thunder Clap | +75%dmg |
| Cleave | 130 (split) |
| Disarm | 104 |
| Mocking Blow | 290 |
| Demoralizing Shout | 56 (split) |
| Battleshout | 69 (split) |
| Commanding Shout | 68 (split) |
| Hamstring | 181 |
Notice that it only makes sense to use Devastate when your Devastates hit for at least 200 points of damage, otherwise it is better to just use Sunder Armor from a Threat point of view!
EDIT: As Nokozon pointed out in an email to me, a little more info on Devastate damage.
… that with five sunders the damage from devastate is increased by 165 damge without the 50% weapon damage this is because devastate gains a extra 35 damage from every sunder that is applied to the target …
Thanks for the clarification, Nokozon!
