Plague or Eruption for summoner?

[cordia75]

Given a choice, which would you choose?

I just took points off Volcanic Orb and put them into Eruption, but couple of fellas here have advocated the use of plague, and since my summons help deal a fair bit of damage, i am thinking of switching, or maybe even using both.

I'd use both. With Susceptibility from Plague your Eruption or even Volcanic Orb become really strong!!

I agree with i.n.s.a.n.e. that you should go for both, if you have the points. If you need to choose one to get first, I'd go for plague as it will help your pets stay alive longer (w/ fatigue) and increase their damage (w/susceptability). That would be my personal preference but both are excellent skills.

By end of Normal Plague and Eruption both were central to my strategy, Eruption does both Fire and Physical damage and Plague debuffs both Elemental and Physical damage resistances, so you can consider Plague to be like Study Prey for Eruption.

thanks all.

looks like i will have to shift some points again and try out plague. salivating at the prospect of increasing the effectiveness of my summons' attack through plague, haha.
