Just wanted comments / general advice. At the moment Im running Assualt / Shadow Fall / Dark Embrace and by level 49 I'll be running Tactics too?! My end is bad enough considering I spam heal and run Darkest Night during fights. Tips? Advice? HELP! Thankies

Bleak

I have a lvl 48 Thugs/Dark with Stamina and Hasten and don't run into too many endurance problems with the following slotting:

- Darkest Night: 2 EndRdx 3 Tht_Debuf
- Shadow Fall: 2 EndRdx 3 Dmg_Res
- Assault: 2 EndRdx (although I don't use it very often)
- Tactics: 3 Tht_Buf 2 EndRdx
- Dark Embrace: 1 EndRdx 3 Dmg_Res

I usually run DN, SF (I do sometimes switch it off during fights depending on damage type), the shield and Tactics. In addition, I have 1 EndRdx on each of the upgrades and no attacks either (I do spam Soul Tentacles and the heal though, as well as Howling Twilight once in a while). You might consider swapping one of the Rechgs in Twilight Grasp for a 3rd heal, that way you need to use it less often (even though the debuff is certainly nice). Not much to add really, just carry a few blues or find a pet kin I guess .

My suggestion has nothing to do with the slotting but rather the positioning in a fight. Now this might not be your experience at all but lemme ask you this:

Are ALL your pets in melee range except the Lich? I had incredible end problems solo until I realised that mobs were not going down fast enough because 1 or 2 zomb/knights were shooting from range.

I then made an effort in every fight to run all my pets right on top of a mob before ordering an attack. Things went down faster and I had to keep them alive less.

Its amazing how much more damage necro pets do in melee rather than range.

Another thing I have found helps is the 2 holds, fearsome stare and petrif gaze. Use the gaze on mobs that are NOT engaged and make all your pets attack one target at a time. Mobs go down quicker while their buddies stand around. This means less heals.

I also run darkest night rarely! I only use it on bosses with even more end saved on regular fights.

Hope this helps!
