13str/con debuff ? I hope that's just for interrupts rather than being touted as a wtfpwn skill

48 dark, 24 summ (for rezz and u dont get anything of value from supp at low lvl so pointless tbh ) 48 dark u get the last spirit deboof, rather handy

Insta debuffs don't interrupt..

I had 47 Dark, 26 Summ on Roo but I liked having a hard-as-nails pet. I'd had low supp for a while but it just wasn't providing enough utility. The last lifetap at 47 was fine, and outdamages the lvl50 baseline DD as well as using less power.

A tough pet with even Wild Minion 1 is not fun for enemies. Junior sometimes got kills by himself, but that was before ToA so I can't comment on how effective it is now.

I reckon the last spirit debuff is only worth it if you think you will be playing in tandem with Sup SMs a lot.

Belo tried 50 Dark for a while and found you did squeeze a little extra damage out of it.

All preference and choice

Ah, good point. Why then ?

u get -30 str/con debuff at 13 supp... think he made a typo

 

[robbe]

49 supp? :>

 

[xrn]

49 supp? :>

Such dark sm.

 

[Dracus]

Sry ill rephrase i use it for PvE at times aswell..so the *30*str/con debuff comes in handy but pure rvr its hardly noticeable...so dont take it if u only plan on doin rvr.

"The last lifetap at 47 was fine, and outdamages the lvl50 baseline DD as well as using less power."
And faster cast time

"I reckon the last spirit debuff is only worth it if you think you will be playing in tandem with Sup SMs a lot."
You can use it when killing high level guards on keeptakes for example or doing pve hunts.

"Belo tried 50 Dark for a while and found you did squeeze a little extra damage out of it."
My main motivation was the level 50 mez because it gets resisted (full resists, target resists effect) less than level 42 (or something like that) one.

I liked 50 Darkness more than 47 and was that spec until I respecced to Supp last christmas.

There was lengthy discussion about this earlier in this forum, and we talked about the different Dark SM specs there. Try looking for that and maybe you get some more tips there. I've probably said everything there I'd say here anyway

Shortly after I returned to daoc, I went into RvR and spotted an alb stealther near amg. I couldn't understand why I couldn't keep up with my group until I read the message "Umilard was just killed by Svartaijj". I guess pet is still tough as old boots (unless Umilard got ganked and the pet got final blow).

i like the way the title of the thread was " to THE dark sm" not plural

hope mid is going oky for you (again )

 

[Zapsi]

I made my sm 46 dark 28 sup, to bad CM is not tad lower so u can get 47 dark.
Still was decent spec IF i could get a caster group with extra rm + sm it could serious rock me think.

People spec encha 23 to get rez but a good group have atleast 3 other classes that can do that if not 4 + EOY + PR , so IMO CM alot better special if u run 7 classes with no DET.

 

[Tulkos]

lol only once or twice here aule and even my healer is making another return. But all in all is going well

 

[Rustan]

I have 48 dark on Dannii simply because i debuff energy and spirit a lot in rvr .. its handy on those filthy albs with uber resists.
