[Handleba]

All I have to say is wow.  Some pics are coming.  At 60, can get the new pet buff master 2 and it is nuts! <div></div>

[quamdar]

[Handleba]

I have posted the 2 master 2's that I took on my website now.  T6 is two pet buffs, Grisly Ward, and the pet heal.  <div></div>

[El Chupacabr]

Thanks, HB.

[Kirotaan]

YEE GODS!! Handlebars thats an awesome agressive buff! WOW! Thats all I have to say. <div></div>

[quamdar]

that kinda sucks we didn't get anyof our big nuke or dots or lich for the master 2 choices but that pet offensive buff is very nice. <div></div>

[Eirgo]

<P>Heya Handlebars,</P> <P>When you chose your lvl 60 training spell, did your lvl 50 one disappear?</P> <P>Also, I am planning on getting one of the other lvl 50 options for a screen shot, do you still need all 3 other than exchange life?</P> <P>Thanks,</P> <P>Nimmh</P>

[Handleba]

No it did not disappear. <div></div>

[Eirgo]

<P>Ok makes sense, because its just an upgrade to an existing spell.  Dont pay me any attention, Im not thinking to clearly today.</P> <P>Thanks,</P>

[quamdar]

you should just be able to beta buff up a necro to get screenshots of all the spells couldn't you? <div></div>

[Specteral]

If noone else does it, I'll run a beta buff necro this evening. <div></div>

[Eirgo]

<P>Hmm Im not familiar, I only got my Beta acceptance today and Im still at work.  Is there a command to raise you level in beta?</P> <P>Thanks,</P>

[Handleba]

I will beta buff a necro when the updater finishes.  I had to clean sweep my system this morning.  You just create a new char, then there is an NPC at Sinking Sands docks that buffs to whatever you wish if your char is under level 6 or so. <div></div>

[ScarletTea]

So what does the nightshade look like? heh <div></div>

Definatelly Exchange Life in my case. This spell wont get upgrades so I want to get best version of this spell. And this spell should rock. Also, already have Aspect of Undead m1 and Stench of the Grave m1. About Skinrot... there will be upgrade anyway, and even ad3 of upgraded version will be better than m2 of previous version (imo). 60. Most likelly will go with Offensive Pet Stance (Voice of the Departed). Lets see... Pet heal m2... sounds nice, but I already will have Exchange Life m2, so should be fine with healing. Defense Pet Stance - how often will you solo at 60lvl? Not so often I think... so, not really usefull. Pet DPS Buff. I doubt i'll use it really often. Well, I'll use Stance way more often than melee dps buff. P.S. Looking forward m3 spells (they promised!!!), gonna make Lich m3 =)</span><div></div>

[quamdar]

i am going for rats at 40 since i will use them at 50 and prolly little past the new rat spell till i get it too adept, definitely exchange life at 50 and the offensive pet stance at 60 that thing looks insane.  under 40 isn't really a worry for me, only time i would use them is when i mentor which is very seldom if at all. <div></div>

[pyrotechn]

Have to say it will probably be much more difficult to choose between M2's then it was between training options.  Its good to have real choices!

That AoU master 2 looks like a complete waste imo.

[Sir Alex]

will i be losing my hounds after revamp due to the new master 2's

[Handleba]

Yes it does look like a waste.  I've got a master 1 and it's not that much different at all.  It's not even that different from the adept 3. <div></div>

[quamdar]

now that they upped teachings of the dead to have alot more INT/STA this spell is kinda pointless to have up since there seems to be alot more things that would put your conc slots to better use. <div></div>

<DIV>No more dogs?!?!?!?!?! The puppes are HANDS DOWN the #1 reason I switched from Warden to Necro as my main. This disappoints me that future necros will not be able to enjoy this spell, and I won't be able to use it when I mentor anymore. /heart breaks!</DIV>

[soibit]

ok so i just got on test and i would really like to know how to visit DoF... and this beta buff thing. how might one do this someone said Sinking Sands docks i have no clue on how to get to this place. help? <div></div>

[soibit]

fair but still i gotta....  BBOOOOOOOO!!! <div></div>

[See]

<P>My T5 choice was easy.  I already had M1s on Skinrot, Stench, and Aspect so the Exchange Life (only had AppII on it and wouldn't expect to see a Master or Adept for it available any time soon) choice seemed obvious.  Here are it's stats:</P> <P> </P> <P><IMG src="http://www.monitorbarn.com/EQII/exchangelifeM2.jpg"></P>

[El Chupacabr]

<P>I dunno... if you don't have master stench, I'm starting to lean that way on these spells.</P> <P>Assuming a linear increase in the heal between app1 and master 2, I'd expect the adept 3 heal to do about 784.  Heal for 168 less vs. what I assume will be a very appreciable increase in the survivability of the swarm pet... it's a tough call.</P> <P>App1=448, master2=952.  Assuming 56 health per level of mastery would put you at 672 for an adept1, 616 for an app4.</P> <P>I just don't know if that's enough of a benefit to forego the swarm pet (again, if it isn't already master).</P>

[El Chupacabr]

Yeah, just in reference to an earlier evaluation I made of the heal being the best upgrade to master 2... just reevaluating my evaluation <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />. <div></div>
