Help! M2 swarm and ad3 off stance, or M1 aqu swarm (10-15 plat) and M2 off stance? (lvl 52-54)

<DIV>Here's the dilemma:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm 51, will be 52 no later than tomorrow night. There is a copy of M1 Aqu Swarm for sale that I could probably get for 10-15 plat. Then I would be able to use that until 54 and go M2 Aggravate. However, that is still big bucks for me, and I can easily farm names that would (hopefully, but I'm not crossing my fingers) drop Swarm, such as Aman (joke) and other LT/SS nameds. Option 2: App4/Ad1 the swarm for now, then when I hit 54 (no later than this weekend), I can ad3 Aggravate and M2 the swarm. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So is there a big difference between M2 Agg. vs. Ad3? Is there much of a diff between M1 and M2 swarm? Either way, less than Master for AS is not acceptable, I want max damage out of that spell, as I will probably not hit 66 for a couple of months (I'll be taking a break on the leveling and farming for a while). Oh, and are the graphics any diff between M1 and M2?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thoughts and recommendations, please. Thanks!</DIV>

Master 2 Offense stance, no question about it. The difference between Master 1 Aqueous Swarm and Master 2 is next to nothing. However the difference between Master 2 Offense stance and Adept 3 is HUGE.

From the man himself! Excellent, guess it's time to pony up the plat then. Thanks!

Totally agree. Master2 your stances whenever you get the chance first and foremost. Best bang for your bucks.
