hey guys, I was lucky enough to forage a rough opal a couple of months ago and my intention was to keep it for the stein of moggok heritage but after my break I come back and see that they have changed it and it does not use an opal anymore... Now, I have this opal beggin to become some tier 4 adept 3 spell.  Right now I am 40, and all my spells in tier 4 are app IV at least and some are adept I .. Sooo which spell would you think I should make as adept III ? I was thinking the shriek of  terror since the next ae taunt is at 50,  or the disease cloud.  I have the both as appIV and I might have shriek of terror as adept I too (don't remember right now and I cannot check cuz I am at work). Which  tier4 spell do you think worths updating to adept III (if you have it as app IV at least ) ? Thanks for the input. <div></div>

Although it's true you don't get the next AoE taunt until level 50, there are some spell you'll still use from tier4 which never receive upgrades and you will still use even AT level 50. The two that come to mind most immediately are baleful smite and insatiable hunger, and of the 2, I'd say the upgrade to baleful smite is better.  I still use baleful smite all the time at 50.  I'd never advise against upgrading a taunt per se, but if you want to put the opal to a use that you won't outgrow, this would be a good spell to use it on. <div></div>

I would recommend you to get Insatible Hunger or Doom Judgement (the spell you get from the bloodlines quests), they are both still good at lvl 50. Baleful Smite is also an option, but it is resisted a lot by higher level monsters so i would not recommend it. If you group a lot go for Insatible... of you liek to AE, go for Doom <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

Unholy/Unhallowed Aura isn't a bad choice either, but I would upgrade it only after you get Doom Judgement, Insatiable Hunger, etc.

Here's what I would do... 1) Disease Cloud 2) Shriek of Terror 3) Doom Judgement 4) Insatiable Hunger 5) Baleful Smite <div></div>

<P>Upgrade your pet spell. (the bird not the slime) It is by far the best damage our class can offer. 3 mins of 200+ hits at a relatively fast pace. </P> <P>As a Shadowknight you want to hold aggro and end the fight quickly. This makes a big difference.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

I agree with the previous choices. One problem though, an Opal will not upgrade your 2nd pet, it is T5. But definitely upgrade that ASAP.

<P>I always thought it a bit silly to upgrade spells I will get upgrades for later on.</P> <P>The only Tier 4 spells I use at level 50 are Insatiable Hunger, Cursed Caress,  Unholy Aura,  Baleful Smite and the bloodlines AE.</P> <P>I raid ALOT, so Ive gone for Insatiable Hunger first and then the Bloodlines AE.</P> <P>I will prolly upgrade Unholy Aura and Baleful smite next.</P> <P> </P>
