t7 master 2 trait on a pvp server, the HT, or the aoe taunt?

[Rylight]

well im about to be lvl 64, and well be getting my t7 master trait very soon. problem is I am on a pvp server and dont know whether to chose the master 2 pestilence touch, or the master 2 sacrilaege(?). of course the reason for the master 2 HT is fairly simple, I like to have it for pvp reasons. but I also group alot and considering sk's dont get the best aggro in the game, I'm thinking about taking the strongest taunt the game has to offer for the sk. so does anybody know if I should just get master 1 of one, and master 2 of the other? would it make much of a difference if I get master 1 sacrilaege instead of the master 2 version, or is it surperior. or vice versa with the HT what do you t7 sk's have to say on this situation <div></div>

<DIV>Pestilent touch is one of the most common master 1 drops in tier 7.  Pestilence is THE most common drop... Probably with Pestilent Touch being second and Sacrelige is third or fourth...  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>hope that helps you decide, though I'm sure there are resistability checks to look into, etc between M1 and M2 versions.</DIV>

<DIV>Take the taunt imo. The master touch is common enough drop, but the taunt will end up costing you if you end up buying it in AD3 or M1.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Also consider that most people in T7 are all aware they will be that tier for a long time so they have a lot of m1s and ad3s. Your groups will be putting out more dps because of the spell quality and they will be masters of their class by then (hopefully). IMO, the tank needs the highest quality taunts and reactive dammage/hate to keep agro in T7. You will be using the taunt a lot more, and people will be happier your keeping them alive than HTing a Q everynow and then.</DIV>

since were on the question about T7 pvp and the SK how efective is your HT at that level does it hit often do any damage, not to derail this thread but any info but be greatfull as a fast and up in comming SK in pvp. If you dont mind discussing this also <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  anythoughts on how the EoF will effect this?<p>Message Edited by Wytie on <span class=date_text>10-31-2006</span> <span class=time_text>11:31 AM</span>

no wytie, I would have to say wandering into the subject of how affective the t7 HT is, is quite a good idea. espically with the idea of t7 pvp resist , does it matter if you have m1 or m2? are resist so high thats its just no worth the m2 version? of course we must also take into account the mitigation change that will be occuring with EoF. but from the sound of things both the m1 and m2 version of our t7 harmtouch are powerful, but as we all know the more aggro an sk can generate, the better, so im starting to lean on the side of the aoe t7 m2 taunt instead. more input on the matter would be appreciated. <div></div>

<DIV>As a PvE player i go for death circle since sacrilege is always easy to get as M1 (bought it for my second SK for 1p80g some days ago <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> ) and i don't care that much about HT, because death circle i use in nearly every fight, but HT is something i so often hold back because there is always the thought .. hmmm.. if i use it now ther maybe the next fight wher i really need it .. and then it isn't up <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

as a PVP player I was going to go for PT, but Im leaning toward the AOE taunt now, I think it will depend on whats available and price of masters at the time<div></div>

[Rylight]

im not sure if I"ve asked this yet, but is there a really big noticable difference between the m1 and m2 versions of HT and the taunt? <div></div>

[Xanoth]

taunt is minor, about 50 threat and 40 debuff.no idea on PT

[Rylight]

we'll I've already picked the taunt, but still have a respec ready, in either case, what about the HT, anybody know how big a difference the m1 and m2 versions are? <div></div>

[Dogm]

<DIV>not a big difference in any of the M1 / M2 choices.   Just take whatever you can't find M1, or whichever is the most expensive.</DIV>
