I went for Marred Psyche both for PvP and for raiding, but woulda taken that one at M2 even if I only did one of those activities.  In raids you're usually going to be at the power regen cap if you have Master power regen spells and a couple AA points put into them; HL isn't a terrible choice, but it's only going to help a couple percentage points, which might not make that big of a difference since it only buffs one target; and as for Perilous Gaze... hahaha!

<div align="left">I started out with Ease as my Master 2.  A few months ago though I changed over to Harmonious Link as my regular raid crew has a couple people who have a tough time managing their threat.  It all really depends on what you are doing.  Perilous Gaze - The only one that I wouldn't consider in any form is Perilous Gaze.  Although I use it alot in raids I wouldn't say its that great of a spell.  It has pretty low dmg even mastered and Power drain does squat outside of PVP.  Even in PvP there are better choices like Marred Psyche.Ease - Always an excellent choice whether you are raiding or not.  Power Regen is gooooood.Harmonious Link - Really depends on how you play.   Personally I am specced for this as a Main Tank group coercer because we have a Brigand and a Warlock that like to take turns trying to tank the raid mobs. Marred Psyche - Great for PvP and useful in groups if you aren't much into raiding.  I have a couple friends that specced into the STR AA line that say Marred Psyche is very helpful for soloing.</div>

I chose M2 Ease over M2 Marred Psyche for two reasons.  First, power regen is always useful IMO, whether it be for soloing, grouping, or (especially) raiding.  Second, the M1 Ease was considerably more expensive than the M1 Marred Psyche. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<p>I had to go with  Psyche for the master 2 choice, as the resist rates on our debuffs seems to be way higher than any other spell I cast.</p><p>I can literally land breakdown (DoT/Debuff) and still bounce the Psyche line off the same mob.</p><p>As far as usefulness goes, I would rate them Psyche > Ease > Perilous > Harmonious.</p>

<p>I opted for ease since with 5 aa's into enhancing ease it's 53 regen for the M2 instead of 51 regen on the M1.</p><p>I had played around with several of the other spells all M2'd (since I ended up getting M1's for all of them) and settled on ease as my personal choice for M2'ing.</p>

<p>I took the Marred Psyche.  The HL was only 3 percentage points over a prior M1 I already have, so it didn't mean anything to me.  Perilous Gaze is pointless as an M2.  Ease would be 53 vs 51 power regen, and when I raid I'm always with a dirge and we cap out without me even needing to cast Beholder's Eye, so the 2 poitns there meant nothing to me.</p><p>This left Marred Psyche.  Add that I could get Ease for 2p on my server and Marred Psyche at the time was going for about 12, iirc, and. . .no-brainer.</p>
