SK's with disease cloud and darkness spell line.

it's funny how everywhere I go I always read that, and it's the same story in game. I feel like I'm the only SK using shadow vortex in between 2 DCs and before using a darkness spell for max aggro generation. From what I can tell it roughly has the same aggro value as DC which means solid value AND it's NOT a DoT.. Besides, it has precisely the same cooldown as DC which means either of em is always ready, doesn't cost too much mana either, casts quickly, useful buff + debuff, and best of all, you can cast it on other mezzed targets while you're tanking a mob to build up aggro in advance and have em on you as soon as mezzes break... I'm shocked I never hear that spell even mentioned, especially in this forum where aggro is often talked about [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Guess it's because it's a mid-lvl spell and many people give up on SKs early? Go figure

You're not alone dude, I use Shadow Vortex all the time. Generates nice aggro and provides AC bonus.
However I don't use for aggro as it consumes much more mana than DC.
