eithar 1 is cool id personally say dark is better for DF what with more solo fights + step camping + solo survivability though it works good in rvr aswell from what ive seen, dark is more fun than supp imo (probably coz its a bit overpowered with intercept pet, mezz, lifetap, strong nuke, but supp gets all that cept single target mezz and pbaoe instead of lifetap, just less survivability)

Supp is real nice when u meet the alb zerg

But since it doesnt happen very "OFTEN" (erm), Ill suggest going dark .....

If running in a set group, go supp. Going mostly with randoms, go dark.

Cami realy love dark speced sm's, hes just to shy to say so

Am just saying dark specced sm's in a set rvr group is no fun, pbae - if played correctly - is so much better

Respecced dark a while ago, was supp till 8L4. Must say that dark is more enjoyable spec.

It kinda comes down to what kind of group you play in. 2 supp sms work, 1 doesn't. Pbae for mid groups isn't anymore that good either because the groups you fight against are 90% caster based and pbae has no use there. Most often supp sms just nuke ppl with base dd and pbae occasionally, so why not have A LOT (believe me) better nuke and better ae debuff too + ghetto ae mezz?

Also dark >> supp in tank group with 1 caster. Not to mention that dark is soooo much better in small groups/solo.

nowdays supp is ok with a rvr group tho

but NF = Dark spec imho

Dark.

There only ever was one true specline for an SM. None of this pbae silliness. Nuke the snot properly at range like any self respecting caster should

Muhahahahahaha(TM)

Word, on my SM always been Dark, and only went Supp because my mates kept bugging me for powerlevel

Oh and focussed TG as a Summoning SM ofcourse.

But Dark is especially in these days of Dark age of Castalot the best choice.

If u ask me, pbae is not that good nowdays with all those ranged casters out there , xpect the odd "camp room" or jump fg and ae-stun pbae... which lets face it are rare happenings So after using my baseline dds in 90% of the fights i did respec to darkness aswell... and its great (well i got 20% passive resist pierce which helps it though ). No variance, u can healyourself , semi godmode with moc, area d/q + base dex debuff rly rox against casterish setups and till RP nerfed u can cap on albs usually.

So i would say darkness is more handyful now.
