In the thread for Master 2 choice for lvl 54 it shows Netheros, Dark Nebula, Shadow Pillage, and Seal of Ebon. As I scroll down further is shows Null Distortion as a choice instead of Shadow Pillage. So which one is correct?
Null Distortion replaced Shadowed Pillaging as a level 54 Master 2 choice in a recent update (LU 16, I believe). There's some discussion on it in this thread: http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=24&message.id=13289
Seal of Ebon Thought thats good for hittin higher con mobs t,he higher ur casting effectivity the less resists on higher con u will have one of our warlocks took that I took the single target nuke master II and it ownz
meh i still dont see the effectiveness of SoET and higher con mobs....its all about debuffing for those guys. go with Null Distortion M2....will be hitting ,with a fully debuffed mob and capped int, for around 3-4k
Now that the Dev's told us what the seal line is supposed to be doing, and I know what to look for, I definitely see an effect, and even better then just that, it seems to stack with other warlocks too. Normally, I can't hit an orange con more then like 40% of the time and a red about 5%. The other night however, a 51 warlock and I, a 45 worlock went into PoF with a 56 guard and a 56 healer and went after cyclopses. They were level 59 and uber red (tm) to me. However, with both of us warlocks using the seal buff, I was actually hitting them about 15-20% of the time. I was totally shocked by this becuase I didn't expect to hit them at all. Apparently there is also a troub spell that has the same effect that would stack with the Seal line and let spells land on reds even more. I can't wait to try that out.
Null Distortion is the only rational choice. We're damage dealers, ND is our highest damage single target nuke and the M2 version of the spell is a major upgrade in damage. At level 60 I have no trouble hitting any mobs that aren't immune to the spell damage type using an adept 3 of Seal of Ebon Thought.
son of a...someone needs to fix that stickied post. I scribed my Adept III ND yesterday. Guess it will be nice damage until I'm 44, but at 2 plat for an upgrade, I woulda limped along on adept 1 had I known. I am glad that I'm not going to be wasting my master 2 on the seal though, was my only other real choice due to what masters I already had.
