Savage leap

[Brutal Justice]

My savage stalker just dinged 32 and I was wondering what the consensus was on savage leap for stalkers.   Is this power not very good for stalkers?   Do you open up with it or do you just use it from melee as a filler?   How do you use it?

I've taken it on all my savage stalkers with the main drawbacks being it's lack of crits and it breaks hide. What i usually do is once i go for the assassination and rehide i pop hemorrhage on the closest victim and then leap for the mob AoE.

I love it on my savage/bio. 

On a team I use it at full range, then AS a meaty target, which will often put me back into hide, then i use rending flurry.

 

If all goes well that will be at 4 stacks of blood and good aoe crit on flurry. That usually kills lots of stuff and then you just scrap.

 

I have a couple damage procs in leap.

 

I use it against runners too. port over and then AS them. Not as fast at clean up as a blaster but way better than most melee builds. It casts fast and recharges quick enough that you dont need to hesitate to use it. 

 

Sometimes I leap back and then port back into the spawn for extra damage. Not the most efficient but super cool.

Savage leap can most definitely crit as well. but I believe it is just a flat chance , and a low one at that. I dont feel like it is boosted by the number of teammates either, but I'd want to test that more as I mostly solo amd teams are often chaotic carnage .
