I use my scepter to pull too, the thefts etc are so minute in this game it's not worth using. ><

theft of hate is worthless. I only use cancel magic on like MCP and the hate mobs in HoH

Oh thank goodness someone posted this - for the most part, I've been using my PAL to tank but soon my SK will have 100k hps and able to tank HoH and T3. Never played an SK before so this is perfect - thank you!

Buffs:
Shroud of Discord

Damage:
Crustaceans Soul Eater (t4 aoe)
Legend of Crab Harmtouch (t3 lifetap)

Threat:
Dread Gaze (aoe cast)
Crafted Scepter of Time (single target click)

Other spell slots vary based on zone/task at hand. I keep Bobbing Corpse on bar for the zones I can levitate in, as it does help.

-Hate

I like cloak too just because why not for the DS? lol, also it activates the DS on my shoulders so that's nice if i'm in t5 and can't get buffs from pet...

I also like to keep Voice of Thule up.  Most times I cast on myself because I am tanking, but it's nice to put up on whoever your tank is.  12% aggro multiplier is great.

For grabbing aggro I use Sceptre of Time, Terror of Discord (single), and Dread Gaze (AE).  I also keep Cancel Magic up, to debuff.
