> You are, indeed, wrong. Do you comprehend what the three Black-Sect Powers do? > Dark Feast: Largely sucky. I wouldn't put it on the scale of volley or orderly mind or evoke, but I'd put it on the scale with nightfist, or vengeance (I'd say better than vengeance, actually). Still, has some uses. Your claim that antipaladins can drain life from mobs while fighting is false. If you are thinking of energy drain, you're mistaken on it's effects, or it's usefulness in that situation. Note: I am not saying energy drain is useless. On the contrary. I'm saying I wouldn't use it to heal myself. > Black Circle: One of the best powers any summoner can have, bar none. Do you realize what this circle does? > Power of the Damned: One of the, if not THE, best powers any necro can have. Tired of losing your zombie of the elite storm giant? PotD! Just looted some idiot Paladin's with your gibbering ghoul, but you know he's going to summon his stuff back? PotD! As for personal summon protection (more important to an AP) the only cabal with powers I can think of that are better is Entropy. Dopple and Mirror (I know they don't have mirror anymore, but you can get some if you try) make it nigh impossible to summon you. Other than those two, PotD is seriously kickass. > I'm afraid you lost my support when you lumped Vengeance in with the 'good powers'. The Divine Sect doesn't need a third good power, because Black Shroud and Black Channels are so incredibly kickass, but really, Vengeance is really bad.
