Spell advice, pre betrayal

[Effie]

<DIV>I will be betraying my illusionist this week.</DIV> <DIV>I've picked up some Masters in the past few weeks and am well stocked on Acrylia and Vanadium.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>For primarily raiding, what spells should I put priority on for Masters?</DIV> <DIV>What are the recommended 54/64 master 2 choices?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Any other tips are also appreciated.</DIV>

<DIV>For raiding coercer (MT group) who not planning much solo</DIV> <DIV>Primo: Enraging Demeanor - M1 (if cannt at least Adept 3, vanadium), Harmonious Link M1 (if cannt, adept 3 at least, acrilia), Ease M1/2 (depending if can or cannt find Ease M1 on broker - its fairly common spell thou), Singet of Enlightment M1 (if cannt Adept 3, acrilia), Gorging Toughts M1 if cannt either Devouring Toughts M1 or Gorging Toughts Adept 3, Beholder Eye M1 (fairly common spell btw, if not Adept 3), Marred Psy M1 (very common, if not Adept 3, acrilia)...</DIV> <DIV>It is not likely you will be using Impetus anymore because you conc slots will be occupied by Harmonious Link (coercer raid-wide amends)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>For solo you will need completely different set of masters thou....</DIV> <DIV>Sell your first born, sell your limb but get Domination Master 1, also pay any cash but get Ruinous Hesitation M1 - both masters extremely uncommon. Then get Auspex, Spell Scourge, Breakdown, Viscous Tourment, Perilious Gaze - that is your DPS aside of pet</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Make sure you have your stuns and mezes at Adept 3 at least (not cruicial but neat) - Astonishing Awe, Enrapture, Deep Focus, Confoundment, Sonic Boom</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>What ever left ... upgrade em upon excess of cash</DIV> <DIV>Personally I have every single spell at master 1/2 level except for Amensia</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Almost fogot about M2 choices....</DIV> <DIV>At 54 it dont matter really ... At 64 depend on masters you got from broker I went with Ease M2 but if I'd need to respec I'd probably go with Incetement M2 (since Ease much much more common spell master then Incetement)</DIV><p>Message Edited by Tanatus on <span class=date_text>07-17-2006</span> <span class=time_text>01:56 PM</span>

I'm guessing Enraging Demeanour is not a master 2 choice then? :smileysad:

<DIV>Troubadur is great, the only 1 problem - de-agro is group-wide only, coercer is raid-wide de-agro. Plus its never enouth de-agro on raid <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> coercer is good, troubadur is great, coercer+troubadur = fantastic</DIV>
