So pretty much the trail to Galrath eh...Black Curtain and Kessex. I hate MoS >_> but I'll give it a try with my 55. This is going to be quite hard to get casting time right. If I can't master it I'll just get some guildies to help me out. ^_^

I've been farming FoW and UW but Amercia doesn't usually have favor when I'd like to go...bleh Europe. o_O So nightmares it is for my spare time.

Thanks everyone, you've been so helpful.

There's definately ways to work around Mark of Subversion on these guys using a 55 build. When fighting groups of 3+ make sure you cast PS before you aggro these guys as MoS should be one of the first hexes on you. You'll have MoS on you for a maximum of 9 seconds (@ level 12) so if you have Prot at level 10-11ish your PS will last almost twice as long. When MoS wears off immidiate re-cast PS (1/4 sec cast time vs 1 sec cast time). I do not recommend casting any spells that take longer than 3/4 sec cast times.

It's very possible, and very easy once you get some practice. The only time I ever had any problems with these guys is when they didn't cast MoS in a predictable fashion. Like for instance you casted your PS on yourself and waited.....waited...still no MoS....wtf?!?!..okay 10 secs has gone by now. At that point you obviously need to recast PS because if they put the Mark on you at that point then PS will wear off while MoS is up and obviously you will die when you re-cast PS.

If your ever in a panic situation (IE there's no way you can avoid casting under MoS) you can do a quick eq swap to take off one of your Sup runes, cast PS, and then re-equip the Sup rune eq. That's easier said than done obviously but I've done it before.

Another way would be to get a monk icon that gives you a HP bonus (remember that prot +1 icon from the good ole prot bond UW days?) and equip it in one of your weapon slots. So say if you get 30hp from that icon and get another 55 back when not using the Necro -55 icon that will put you back up to 135hp and you can safely cast under MoS. Again not ideal, nor easy, but possible.

Good luck!

SS necros can pwn these guys. It's just that it's a tedious tapdance routine as far as farming goes. I guess the 55's have the same problem.

I'm an SS and 55, double pwn. =P I haven't tried yet..I plan to soon though. I figured I'd need plenty of time cuz I'll probably be frustrated for awhile. o_O
