Hey Folks,

Kinda wondering what ppl think about putting where in shadows i dont have enough with out move some stuff around. any one able to post what they have done in summoner--necromaner--shadows line plz...would appreciate it must. mainly looking for it on raids. Atm I am wearing VS1 armor and VP boots.

Thanks in advance,

thoughtful

would love to hear what people are using for aa lines 170 plus aa and then what they have for the new tso aa too

This is what I use for soloing, mutli-boxing, grouping but mostly raiding, without ever respecing (hense still having useless stuff from KOS, EOF & ROK days - such as implode and animist's bond).. mostly a happy medium spec for lazy, yet independant people, without the luxary of tainted heals for soloing stuff immune to CC.

That set up is bad for raiding.....you should be putting stuff into mage line.

Hazazal

omg get an aa mirror and do a dps/solo spec ffs

Rocksie

Ya... that aa set up is nothing short of gross for raiding. Get an aa mirror if you want a solo spec like haz said.

For raidage-
Summoner: Biggest problem is obviously not using the int line... (you want str, wis, and int)
Necro: Why are you spec'd for the ooze pet and not horde? I've ditched blood pact and have tainted heals(for topping off pet in raids when its been pimp slapped by aes)/horde/lb
OMG, max out the nox debuff, ditch the extra two points in the scout and tank pet line and use them somewhere else, raid spec youll never need your tank or scout pet

TSO: General- aa points imo should only go in the health/power slots, everything else i kinda worthless
Mage- soulrot and master strike lines
Summoner-can't remember what each of those do, but i believe you want the 2 and 3 ones, basically the pet buff/stat increase ones(hate, pet storage, and pet heath should not be a big issue on raids if you have your myth)
Necromancer: NOX DEBUFF, life tap, blood cloud

I don't remember my aa spec off the top of my head havent looked at it since i hit 200, but i believe my extra aa's eventually went into mage shielding and the mage group buff increase

If I get bored one day soon I'll take screen shots and post up my current raid aa set up.

Heh, you guys are funny.. it's like you think our mage pets do more than 20% of our damage or something. The int line does barely anything for overall DPS. the extra 400dps you might get out of the pet if hardly worth 20 AAs if you're giving up survivability of the summoner itself (except for the fact that you're having it intercept some of your incoming damage using less resists and mit than you would have applied to it.. but then again, if you can't pad your group's healer's parse, what good are you to them?)

That one extra dumbfire that's going to die within 30 seconds, that you get to use every ten minutes, is really going to make a difference. Why didn't I think of that!
Apparently you have either lucked out and have healers that cure your pets or you're not raiding TSO content or maestro (seems to be the case if you can trust guildprogress.com : EverQuest 2 > Unrest > Legacy). Bloodpacts FTW. (Although, if you show me your hacks for fearing, rooting, and stunning epics - tainted heals might be fun.. if those detrimentals didn't one-shot my m4 pet)

But I'll be sure keep out the mage pet on pentaclypse and AE down all 4 ads right away, that should restore my ability to fuck with guild members since my necromantic orb hasn't had much fun lately with korsha off our schedule for good; nor do I get a chance to use unliving eyes on silverwing. And I won't even have to reroll as a wizzy to get Rays and cast on random mobs we haven't pulled. omg win!

I guess that extra 300 health will help when need to use your own heart because you somehow managed to raid with people who (I guess are too busy spaming your pet with cures and) allow you to run out of power - even with that enormous extra 2.5% you have. Or maybe with so much health and power you can just main tank everything! Luckely there are two things that are not worthless in that line.
That master strike that you can use on 20% of mobs, you better make sure the reuse is ready for three pulls later!
again, procing a nox debuff is mostly pointless, by the time it goes off, the mob will already be max debuffed - we're not a utility class.

Necros don't need a raid only spec, go cry about 20dps ZW on another class, maybe a brig so you can dispatch for us since you're so into nox debuffs. Meanwhile, I'll just use those three mirrors in my house to look at my own awesomeness.

while there are a few half-truths in some things you say, Yummy, you can do better by speccing better. stop being a scrub

and proper pet does 30-35% of your dps.

Rocksie

WOW.

Just wow.

I agree with some of what Yummy is saying, but I will definitely stick with INT line in the summoner tree for hastened casting/recovery/reuse of sorcerer pet. Especially over the shitty scout pet AA's.
