Necromancer to Scourge fail

[Necrondicus.7210]

I reached level 80 with 39 points. Chose to put 30 points into Scourge build. Got a free torch. But nothing else. No skill for torch on tool bar, no build option and torch skill was still grayed out. Says I need the Scourge build to use the torch in the torch details. Only have 9 points left. And it still says Necromancer on the character selection screen not Scourge. I'll put another 10 points in as soon as I get them and see what happens. Maybe it's me but I haven't had any bother starting specialisations on any of my other 11 toons.

You need to add scourge as the elite spec in the bottom row were you chose traits.

Unwise to do untill you got atleast 1 grandmaster trait unlocked imo

Thank you. I think when I looked for the scourge build I looked in the middle row. Just looked in the bottom row. Selected it and everything now as expected.

Yes, the row with the golden frame is where you can equip an elite spec.

As Linken said, you should max it out first, though, before playing it. You can find 10-points Hero Challenges in HoT and PoF.
