Boots have a casting time of 7 seconds, and lasts for only 18 seconds, so you are basically chain clicking to reapply Fear doing minimal damage in the meantime. You might connect with a hit or two before you need to start casting Fear again.. and the fight will take forever.

The snare on the gloves is ok, but Engulfing Darkness doesn't slow their movement down as much so you are chasing a feared mob and keeping 2 clickies up with slow ass casting time.

I tried it several times, and now those items typically just sit in my bank.

Most efficiency I have found is to use BE gloves and also have Engulfing Darkness loaded, and just use Invoke Fear. You can pull or cast ED (lol) then keep reapplying snare the with gloves, it will save you some mana... but it's not a game changer.
Good post.

I’ve found when doing a Longer grind just try to get a potg. Solves a lot of your mana issues and you can easily make that donation pp back at higher levels throughout the duration of it.

Having played a monk on live, having FD again is great on the SK. I’m not denying monks power, but having spells during the leveling process has been more enjoyable for me. And The pets are not as useless as I originally thought, with their extra bashes and especially if they’re max level makes for a decent dot.
