changes in shadowknight spells

I would like to take a moment of your time to discuss some of the spells that i believe should be implemented into the game for shadowknights.
First of all, using www.allakhazam.com under spells you can check the spell information on all these...or you can use your own system.
"Aura of Darkness" which is the resist drain with group recourse.
"Aura or Hate" and "Aura of Pain" to possibly replace the "Shroud of Nightmares", those would be more helpful since they have group recourse.
"Zevfeer's Bite", and "Ancient Bite of Chaos", which should be made as a level 65 ancient spell.
"Cloak of Luclin", which is the upgrade of "Cloak of the Akheva", it should probably be made an ancient spell.
"Miasmic Spear" would be nice to have, its a level 65 spell, I believe it should be an ancient spell becuase we already have the level 64 "Spear of Decay".
I do not recall if "Pact of Hate" is in, but it is a spell in the lich line of spells and shadowknights currently only get a low level spell in that line, while not as important as the other spells it would still be helpful.
I would love to see these spells implemented because it makes the shadowknight much more fun and more valuable to group or raids. As is the shadowknights are not widely accepted as a useful class on raids, the only thing they are used as are for extra DPS or the occasional split pulling using Feign Death. These spells should help out the the entire community not just the individual.
 
I would agree with two points that you mentioned, Zevfeer's bite is a MUST have for all SK's. It is an exceptionally good spell for grouping.
Festering darkness is also a really really good SK spell if memory serves me right.

Lich spell upgrades are definately a good move to, since they allow the SK to get on with tanking and protecting the group, and not worrying about lifetapping every few seconds.


p.s. were you talking about "Bond of Death". It's level 62.

Pact of hate is Hp for mana spell.
 
nope

No "Bond of Death" is a drain over time spell. What i was talking about is the spell that takes away from hp and gives mana. When i am on tanking duty i use up mana pretty fast and KEI isnt enough sometimes. I have a manadrain proc but that is unreliable since it only works on mobs with mana and there is no telling if it will even proc while you are fighting the casters. the "Pact of Hate" spell regens 16mp at the expense of 32hp per tick, while it may not sound great, it is far easier to get hp then mana for an SK.
 
Pact of Hate probably wouldn't stack with KEI anyway (being a lich line) and thus, not be better than KEI.
Zehveer's Bite would be cool, but I feel it was almost a little ridiculous in PoP. I loved it though :)
 
oh ok, wasn't sure if Lich referred to the lifetap over time spells or the hp/mana conversion spells.

Anyway, I still think Bond of Death should be in there as SK only get 189pt lifetap dot otherwise, which is useless for 60+.
 
I'd like to see these implimented also, so far I only see about 4-5 spells I'd use in the 61+
