Do you need any shards outside of earth to do the blademaster promotion? Just got into ACT II with my new team and haven't done it in the past. Got the quest, just curious if there is an artifical limitation to complete like need a shard of XXX or just a difficulty challenge to complete

You don't need anything, but the mobs in the mini dungeon for it are fairly high level so it's unlikely you'd be able to complete it, I think. Also, at least when I did it, the mobs spawn only after you do the quest, which makes it possible to be stuck in there with no way out if you can't handle the mobs, so not sure it's a terribly good idea. I haven't done it with a blademaster though so don't know how much it matters.

It's voracious ghouls, which are extremely tough in melee groups. Iirc they're vindictive(gets additional strikes when you miss/get blocked, this one I'm sure of) and enrage(higher crit chance when under 50% hp) and a base block chance. They would routinely one shot people. Actually do Lost City, at some point during it there's a harder part of the city where you're supposed to come back later, and it has voracious ghouls in there(note that it also has just ghouls, those are the easy type). So you can see for yourself, specifically it's on lvl 2 there's a path that lead to level 3 guarded by 2 voracious ghouls which you're not supposed to go to at that point, so you can see. Know that you'll have to fight like 4-5 at a time iirc, and there's also facehuggers(highly resistant mobs who drain mana on hit, but fairly squishy for melees).

You might be able to kill them fine mind you, I was just saying it's unlikely, but with a good amount of defenses and reloads, it might actually be fairly easy.

Runepriests can't use Dark btw. And you don't really need both Light and Earth, Earth alone is enough as a Druid, even though I guess expert light is nice enough until you can promote(which as a druid is very easy to do). After trying it I think GM water is a lot better than GM light if you also have earth, liquid membrane shits on everything else since it's a flat 25% dmg reduction and you get good damage potential too(better than what earth gives you).

And yeah tanks are useless, plus everything is a tank with membrane+stoneskin. Like I explained it before on my 4mage setup, my freemage(who can't use medium armor or shields) was still taking less than 20dmg crit on melee attacks from bosses with both buffs up. Normal enemies(even elites) hit for 1 and sometimes crit for 3-4. The defensive spells are extremely strong especially when combined. The only point of Defender imo is for the 4might achievement, I think 4 defenders might actually be superior to blade dancers+other stuff because you can ignore most physical defense stuff since they can use shields and heavy armor and focus on the important defensive stat, arcane resist, and you only need to max GM axe to get a fairly decent damage potential. Not sure what the other tank you're thinking of since that's really the only tank. If you meant crusaders though, they're really good but they're not tanks and more like healers with good melee.

Only freemages get dark. As for learning skills, everytime you level you can put points in stuff you don't know as well, 1pt in a skill=you can use it, there's no need for a trainer. Trainers are only to unlock expert and higher.
