Hey,

I'm aiming for 47 dark / 26 supp.

Currently level 31 with 10 in supp. When should I start focussing on getting supp to 26?

Does it make sense to respecc dark at 40 and head for 26 supp? Or should I stick with darkness until 33 points for grp dmg add + yellow dmg? Or full dark and then supp?

Opinions?

Would recommend going 26 supp rest dark at lvl 40.

Should've gone full Dark until 40. Having the best DA throughout 40 is great, especially for Melees with no gear. But yea, 26 Supp rest Dark at 40 is a solid choice.

Is the 26 PBT enough for most 40+ groups? Are they expecting more than that? And can you really run the red PBT nonstop anyway without going OOP?

You can easily recast the 26 PBT if you need additional healing during a pull without getting oom for a good two minutes. With enough focus of course. Same goes for red PBT, not really that mana intensive.

This was posted a month ago but I'll talk about my experience for any future runnie's.
1-20 - I went full darkness and would recommend any1 else doing the same.

20-40 - I kept going full darkness. It was good up until the 30's. From 30+ it seemed that every group wanted pbt. If i had to do it again, I would respec to suppression at 20 and go full suppression until 40.

40-50 - I respecced at 40 and went 26 suppression (10 sec pbt) and rest into darkness. I then poured everything into darkness and my final spec is 47 dark / 26 supp. Getting that 26 suppression at lvl 40 is absolutely necessary for getting groups.

What you do at level 40 largely depends on what you want your final spec to be. It also depends if you can afford a respec stone. If I had to level a runnie again and I could afford a respec stone, I might go full suppression for 20-50 and then respec.
