Need advice from some lvl 50 necros

Helratos · 08-29-2005, 02:13 AM

Which spell would be better to upgrade to master I. Stench of the Grave, Skin Rot or Aspect of Undead? Trying to decide which to pick up off the broker. Any input is greatly appreciated, thanks

Based off of the changes on test, I'd say Skinrot. I think it's an option for upgrading at 50...but I think most necro's will be picking Exchange Life. So upgrade Skinrot to Master I since you'll be using it pretty often. Stench of the Grave is a fire and forget pet when the changes go live...so it might be a good option, but I'd still go with Skinrot. With the general uselessness of our buffs after these changes (too much conc goes into maintaining a decent pet), I really wouldn't consider that. The new, more common, adept 3 harvests will do fine.

There is an upgrade in DoF to skin rot .. but stench of the grave will last you till 60.

Yar! Go with stench.

out of all the masters I have, Stench was prolly one of the leaser upgrades, yet being lvl 49.6 won't be an upgrade to it, giving it plenty of room to grow...Skinrot would almost be worthless assuming you adept3 the new line of the spell 50+...and well Aspect...it's just aspect...I'd go DMG before any buff lines...

Master any Spell you can get your hands on thats 45+ after new combat changes...Simple as that

quamdar · 08-31-2005, 03:16 AM

i would say 47+ because they won't be replaced with higher level versions with the expansion. i would say stench is the best in that list though.

Whould seem the list has changed.

Thanks for all the responses. Appreciate the advice. I decided to get both Stench and Skin rot just to be safe hehe :p

Hmmn, I have never seen any of those masters drop or on the broker. I saw Sacrificial Heart but it was 20p on the black market and sold quick. I have Torrential Plague which is a very nice damage spell and makes raid like Rognog and MotMs fun. I'd like to see a SL master because the upgrade to A3 was so nice. I'd look out for Lich too. I hear we will be using it more with the changes.

quamdar · 08-31-2005, 10:13 PM

i've got alot of master 1 spells but i would kill for a lich master 1 that thing is going to add some amazing DPS come combat changes.

Dark Heart

Grasping Bones

Horrific Mark

Rotting Thrall

Necrotic Mending

Rending Frenzy

You will still use your 45 Spell at 60....My 35 spell is still green at 50

You use level 47 + spells because you get an upgrade every 14 levels. A spell that you get at lvl 45 would have an upgrade at level 59. 46 would upgrade at 60. 47 will upgrade at 61.
