Im sure this question has been asked recently but was wondering if its been answered since the latest patch.Im lv 37 and was wondering what adept III to purchase first. I read that lingering blow might be a wise choice to aim for (I cant use it just yet, lv 43 I think)Can anyone shed some light on this for me?CheersSkorpeo37 Assassin

All of our frontal attack DoT spells saw a significant damage nerf in the Combat Update (CU). I can't recommend getting them made as adepts for that reason. Master II Training Choice at level 34: Exposed Attack* or Slice Throat *Exposed will give you better damage output and would be my suggestion unless you already have the other at adept 3 or master. For upgrading level 30-39 I would recommend the following: Exposed Attack -- if not already chosen as master 2, high priority upgrade Blade Frenzy -- increase Swipe proc damage, high priority upgrade Vulnerable Mark -- high priority ugprade to keep up DPS numbers Murderous Blade -- high priority upgrade Bloodthirster** Condemning Blade** **Not replaced at level 50 (Note: Slice Throat is great, but not as important as those listed above, adept 3 it only if you have more rares than you know what to do with) Master II Training Choice at level 44: Improvised Weapon -- best bang for your buck For upgrading level 40-50 I would recommend the following: Murderous Focus -- short duration +dps increase Merciless Villainy -- permanent +dps buff, high priority upgrade to keep up DPS numbers Blade Storm -- increase Swipe proc damage, high priority upgrade Evasion -- avoid aggro, 'nuff said Mask of Night*** Massacre*** Exposing Mark*** Punch Blade*** Anathema*** Assassinate*** ***Not replaced at level 60
