Do yourselves a favor at 64-

Master II your taunt. Seriously. I picked up a Vanadium at the same time I dinged to 64, so I adept III'd my single target taunt and Master II'd my group taunt, and I can safely say: Tanking is so very comfortable right now. I highly recommend it.<div></div>

i did that and ended up resepcing as Death CIrcle (Master I) is very rare on this server, Sacrelage on the other hand was filling the broker. so i respeced and got myself the master 1, with master 2 death circle.so while its good advice in theory.  in practice its best to check the drop rates for your server before you pick your top teir master 2 choice.  <div></div>

But think about the debuff man, the debuff!<div></div>

Ok, I'm about to sound like a TOTAL idiot here, but I was unaware we had a single target taunt? The only taunt I can find at level 63 in my repoitore is Blasphemy? Or is out single target taunt one of our HoT spells?

<DIV>Insidious Promise, Level 59, is our highest level single-target taunt, providing 700 to 900ish hate at the high end, plus damage and Hate over Time.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>We also have Venomous Slam, which amounts to around 1,000 hate total, and an AE taunt, as well as a Rescue and Harm Touch, and FD.</DIV>

[SillyMonk]

Ahhh. Ok. Thanks.I thought it might be one of those. I got worried that I was missing a direct single taunt like we used to have pre LU21.

the difference on the debuff and the taunt its self are both less than about 50 points if i rmember rightly...my master 1 sacrilege does: 941-1,151 taunt, and 1024 debuff. and the threat loss is more than made up for through extra damage from death circle.<div></div>

[Alevyan]

Mastering that taunt actually makes me feel like a tank again, you know? I'm going to adept III my single target taunt asap and finalize my epitomic hate generation and become the tank I was born to be!<div></div>

ya I agree with the guy before . it depends on the masters available at your server.  initially i had blasphemy as master 2. then i found the death circle master 1 for 5.95 plat from the fence (== instant buy). then i could not find for the love of me the ht as master 1. so i bought blasphemy for dirty cheap cuz they are like 23904239458239045 available on broker on MM and then got the ht as master 2.from my experience having tried it both as master 1 and master 2, i saw no significant difference. then again now that i have blasphemy as master 1 , I also have put points in the idolic axe so I am getting hate from there too.but for my case the ht as master 2 was the bestest (sic) choice).<div></div>
