@Theritt
Life will get much better when you get Tap at 55 and DM at 58

Doh! So he is....my bad, I thought he was higher.

But yes, DM and Tap veins make a huge difference.

Im a 59 sk now and that DM is working alot my AA sting is INT 4-4-4-8-1 and str 4-4-4-8-1 and wis 1. Im on my way to making my DM maxed in my abilities focousing in the hate because of all the input from you guys I think I have my casting order fairly good and realized that my AOE's are key to my DPS in Offensive stance I have equipt. alot of items that have INT procs and my INT is sitting at 420 Wis is sitting at 172 STR 200 and STA 235. I have gotten pretty decent at pulling mobs away far enough to light them up with my AOE's and that tap viens OMG its a killer. Death March all I have to say abou tthat is groups love it :-0 I have been averaging about 4-500 dps and highest I seen was 625 without using my ruin touch. I play around with 2HD but usually carry 1HD+shield. Im looking forward to see what higher levels bring and your further input thanks again for all the advise

QFE, I usualy just use my macro : FD /say WTF? are you stupid? I'm not a guard, I can handle AoEs!

I love that macro

Mezing with an SK tank is a waste of fucking time and over-complicates shit not to mention drops the DPS of the only mage in your 3man group.

Tell that mage to stfu and dps or find a new mage.

Don't bother putting more points into INT than is needed. 44481, thats max heal crits (which are useless) and the end ability (which is relativly useless).

Switch that to INT 448, STR 44682. then if you really want to continue that and get the WIS line for the skill bonus go for that. I'd personally recommend STA line instead though.

You won't find many items with a good delay until later levels, but ideally you do want over 3 seconds delay. Until then cast is going to be your real priority for DPS and hate.

Yeah, Unending Misery is great for Doting mobs before they can be mezzed. And no surprise Illy's getting close if not beating you, Illy's are pretty OP atm.

I always use my sheild when tanking.... w/o a sheild, we can't use one of our taunts. Just like everybody else has said here, crack of your AoE DoT FIRST to avoid them pesky Mezzes and hit Blessing every time it lights up.

If your 2h is greatly better than your 1h the increase in DPS should make up for the loss.
