In my opinion it looks like Blood Ember for FD and Fear Kiting is still a good option to save HP/Mana, even at 60 with full raid gear. These two giants we are fighting are only level 50, so higher level mobs that are still fearable will be doing more damage.

I'm not sure how anyone can argue otherwise. Even BiS tank gear obviously can't compete with a spell combo (Fear/snare) that reduces your damage taken to literally zero.

That being said, fear kiting on a melee is annoying AF, so I can understand why people wouldn't want to do it even if it is the most efficient soloing strategy. Much easier to just face tank with lifetaps, then AFK between kills while medding with Fungi.

Agreed. With 400-500 damage left unmitigated you can spend 1-2 minutes meditating or spamming BP click, kind of like a Paladin with Deepwater BP at that point hehe. Certainly a valid style of play if you are too lazy to fear kite.

Slam helped a lot with this annoyance. I learned to enjoy it after awhile because it opened up some options without needing to afk forever to regen health or click the slow bp. Another thing is to just fear at like 40-50%. The mob won’t be moving as fast at this point eventually coming to a complete stop which makes it more tolerable. Having a max/2nd max pet was also a game changer at 52 & 58.

This thread has thoroughly convinced me that Iksar is the best choice, should I ever start an SK I'd def go lizard.

Not like I could ever complete an epic as a filthy casual player, but pretending that I could.. would a decent amount of faction work be necessary? Reading through the quest I see Qeynos Sk guild, OT outpost, etc..

Wow, didn’t realise the SK epic had so much impact compared to everything else an SK has [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yeah Epic is quite nice, SKs need all the self healing they can get.

Sk epic is game changing. Looks awesome too. By far my favorite epic.

If I was gonna make a SK I’d go troll. Best all around option imo between start stats, regen, kunark clickies and slam.

trolls are the master race for war/sham/sk. The combination of regen, kunark/snare clickies, stats, and slam are just too good to pass up.

Lol @ anyone who thinks this is worth giving up for FSI or iksar AC.
