44 Master II choices - some advice pls

[Mentla]

Hi, I almost exclusively solo with this toon as I'm spamming blue and white quests (and some oranges in SS last night <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />) to try to catch up on AAs.  I'm about to hit 44 and was wondering if you could give some advice to an anti-social necro <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

I picked Minion's Stance: Grisly Stele and have never regretted it. I also solo most of the time.

<DIV><SPAN>If I recall these are the options:</SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN>39 - Words of the Wicked (Pet Offense Stance: Grants Lifetap proc, + Haste, + Spell Skills, - Defense and Parry)</SPAN><BR><SPAN>40 - Rending Frenzy (Pet Buff: Grants chance to berserk on successful attack. 1 Concentration)</SPAN><BR><SPAN>42 - Necrotic Mending (Drains Necromancer Health to Pet Over Time)</SPAN><BR><SPAN>42 - Grisly Stele (Pet Defense Stance. Grants Lifetap Damage Shield, + Mitigation, + Hate Gain, - INT, - Attack Speed)</SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN>Myself I went with Grisly Stele (still use it in fact at 62, the adept 3 of the 56 version wasnt much of an increase over the master 2, 3% more hate but 2% less hps for pet so I just skipped over it till the upgrade comes at 70).</SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN></SPAN><SPAN>If you feel that adept 3 is sufficient however I think the 2nd best option would be the level 42 heal spell (as a soloer anyways). If you grouped alot I would say hands down 39 offensive stance but you stated for soloing mainly so I would narrow my options to defensive stance or the pet heal in my opinion.</SPAN></DIV><p>Message Edited by Arrowheart on <span class=date_text>07-02-2006</span> <span class=time_text>09:31 PM</span>

Took the heal and got the rest at Adp III.  Heals don't scale with level so you need as much as you can get out of them. <div></div>
