    So there are a ton of threads out there for clickies for shadowknights and tanks:

    Why not one more? This time with a ranking created by someone who rolled a shadowknight a week ago! Please recommend ranking corrections, additions or removals! Ranking is purely the improving to in-combat lethality conferred to the Shadowknight without regard for difficulty of attainment.

    Only ones I really regularly use lately are: (some in your list are permanent buffs so don't really get "used" anymore)

    2.0 (obviously)
    ToL BP
    Anguish BP
    Phoenix Feather
    Amulet of Necropotence (for when someone unilaterally decides I should be shrunk)
    Skull of Null
    Clockwork Automaton (for pre-engage buffing)
    Darkened Blood Ember Bracer (because it's on my multibind and I haven't had a reason to remove it)
    A mount of some kind (with the buff set to the latest version)
    A familiar of some kind (with the buff set to the latest version)

    I'm bad about clicking my Circle of ___ stuff, but I do have them :p

    Updated, thanks!
  5. Zipe The Healer

    You can't use beads to summon an eye and tab it to heal yourself anymore?
  6. Szilent Augur

    no, you only get hp back = hp of the Eye. You can use it to buff, like with Touch of Namdrows or Torrent, but won't get meaningful hp back
  7. Syylke_EMarr Augur

    This is superseded by the Bobbing Corpse AA line. Not sure what level/era exactly, though.

    Sadly, nope :( As Szilent mentioned, I use it to get the recourse buffs going from Parlay, Torrent, and Namdrows before engaging.

    How easy is Rolfron Zek to box? I’ve been meaning to try but never have time.

    Is blood drinker’s coating only B? Definitely higher for my warrior!
  10. Szilent Augur

    at 120? trivial

    leech effects are best-one-works, so SK has to run out of all of Lich Sting, Mortal Coil, Duskbringer BP, and Leechcurse disc before Blood Drinker's Coating plays at all

    Come on man you forgot Vicious Rabbit!

    And as far as Rolfron Zek goes is it molable by a max aa sk with all T3 gear? I dont think I have any other of my boxes flagged for that.
  12. Israfel Elder

    Thanks Szilent. That makes perfect sense then. I haven’t played a Shadowknight in ages!
  13. Tucoh Augur

    Probably?

    Rolfron kinda cheats, his damage abilities scale with target HP and there are some curing conditions to look out for, so you'll find he's much more threatening than you'd expect.

    Getting flagged to him is pretty easy, he's fairly early on in the Plane of War flagging.

    I would also add the Horn of Unity. While it does not stack with the Feather, it does not share a timer. So you can use one after the other. The Violet Conch Shell from TDS can be a longer AC buff than the Cloak of Realms. (Those two so not stack.)
  15. Tucoh Augur

    Added the horn, thanks! Does Violet Conch of the Tempest conflict with Tekuel Skin? Or do you not care and prefer the AC the conch provides?
  16. Szilent Augur

    mmm, New BloodDrinkers sensibly got a shared timer with the older one added. Wonder if we can have the same done to Feather/Horn. That'd be nice.

    Personally, I stick with Tekuel (since they don't stack). I figure the ~6000 damage shield is going to offer me more overall benefit than ~20 AC.

    Ornate Gnollish Leather Boots helps disease spells land, especially between levels 71-88.

    thanks!

    D is looking pretty overstuffed. If anyone has any recommendations on how to split it into D and E, please post! It might seem superfluous to split between them, but aspiring shadowknights like myself might enjoy the direction.

    Chronological order based upon when they were implemented into the game!
