Found a ruthenium - any advice on what to get adept 3?

[whytakemine]

<div></div>I'm currently level 36, but don't mind waiting a couple levels if a higher level spell would be better.  I'm thinking of waiting and getting Moor at adept 3, but I'm totally open to any suggestions.  I'd like something that will be useful for the longest possible time.  Also, I want to make sure I don't update something that I might want to go master 2 in.  If I understand the master 2 stuff correctly though, none of my level 30 spells will be eligible for upgrade to master 2 at level 44 right? And if anyone knows a better reference for assassin skills than <a href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/classes/index.vm?classId=40" target=_blank>this one</a>, please link it.  Sony's doesn't have recast times or anything except a basic description. <div></div><p>Message Edited by whytakemine on <span class=date_text>10-02-2005</span> <span class=time_text>01:53 AM</span>

bloodthirster is usually one of the ones people get and it comes at 38(60 sec recast and primary class stealth attack).  Condemning blade also comes at 38 as the upgrade to assassin's blade(5 min recast).  Other good choices would be exposed attack(10 sec refresh), Murderous blade(10 sec refresh), and Honed reflexes(haste spell 5 min refresh).

Thanks for the advice, it looks like I'm definitely waiting another level or two. I was also thinking it would be nice if I could transfer more hate to the tank.  I don't suppose we get an upgrade to Friendly Shadows as a level 30 something spell? <div></div>

the used to be an easy decision - honed reflexes. the haste on the old adept 3 was outstanding. it's since been changed to be a small negligible upgrade. there's therefore nothing you can get that won't be upgraded so it's probably best to just pick something that will stick with you a long time. i'd go with bloodthirster at 38. you'll use that until lvl 52. <div></div>
