What spells should I M2?

[Antipiety]

<DIV>What are the best spells to M2 at each lvl? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>When I  dinged 14 I didn't like  the  way infernal blessing read so i mistakenly held out for a direct lifetap and went  with m2ing cruel aura which was nice for aoe  but my greatest difficulty soloing was killing named and later i respec'd my character abilities and went with infernal blessing as my 14 m2 and so a huge difference. Anyways was wondering if what m2's i should spec as i lvl. Currently a 25sk and  spec'd grim harbinger m2 but not sure if grimcoil would of been the better bang for  my buck.</DIV>

lifetaps == SK so i think the grim harbinger was a good pick. it is what i went for too at 24, and the blessing at 14. i hear blessing is THE best thing we get so ill alwayts try and keep mine at master or atleast ad3next to those.. when i cant pick it as a master 2, ill most likely go for another direct lifetap or AOE. i like pulling alot of green mobs or blues and kill them all in good time. i guess its personal prefference from some point. if you like tanking for groups at that lvl you could always look for a taunt. but dmg is also a good way to maintain agro for us i believe<div></div>

If you plan to mostly solo the lifetaps is a good choice.  But if you are planning to group or eventually raid the AOE taunt is great for those situations.  The choice is a matter of your play style.

<DIV>Sometimes I have a  hard time keeping agg in small group situations...usually cause there's another character who does far more damage then I do, so they eventually get the agg. That just gets my goat since I'm supposed to be the tank, so like Marge said, I got the M2 taunt at 70. Still isn't a sure fire way to keep agg, but it certainly helps, not to mention the disease debuff that accompanies it. M2ing the Lifetap wouldn't be a bad choice either, but I think you need to observe how you play and M2 accordingly. I know some SKs that fight with Guardians to be MT. I know too many SKs that complain that their nerfed and can't MT at all, and won't. Pay attention to what you use most often and go with that...remember, you can always change it if you don't like it or want to see if something else works better.</DIV>

<P>Blessing if available is always my first choice, its not just a heal and damage .. its also much better aggro if you precast it. Taunts are second choice, even if i solo a lot the taunts still have benefits .. debuff on the group taunt .. damage on the single taunt. If no taunt or blessing is as choice i took AoEs or conc-buffs. At 64 you also may take the AoE because on most servers the group-taunt is much cheaper to get as master 1 <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P>
