I don't understand why not taking Cloak of Darkness and then taking Maneuvers / Weave and aiming for def softcap. Also, I am fond of DA because of its many layers for survival and OG is one of them. It's a good power that works with just a cheap HO (Endoplasm) in base slot. I honestly thin k you would get more mileage from OG than from Assault. Death Shroud and Mass Levitate are underslotted for my taste (Mass Levitate I'd say grossly underslotted) while Stamina is overslotted. Also, can't understand why taking Grant Invisibility over Combat Jumping. I doubt Psi Blade + Greater Psi Blade + Moonbeam grant you a fluid ST attack chain. Never used Cross Punch so won't say anything although I am partial to Epic / Patron Pools for AoE and in any case, I seriously doubt Cross Punch makes a better AoE than Mass Levitate. If memory serves, Psi Blade is considered one of the worst cones in game, I think you'd be better taking Telekinetic Thrust to fill a proper ST chain.

I was figuring that Cloak of Fear's crowd control would act as a "defense" and would be more fun. What is "aiming" or is that Tactics?

By aiming, I meant that you were after defense softcap but left out Dark Armor's def toggle, see, Cloak of Darkess will give you better def than Maneuvers for less end consumption. And yes, Cloak of Fear acts the way you describe plus debuffs foes To Hit, OG is another layer to add to that, let's call it "soft control dmg mitigation" unique to DA.

Mass levitate, imo, is the power that makes psi melee work. Skipping it, or not using it, is like skipping foot stomp in SS. 

 

The combination of COF and OG is fun. Run into a mob and watch them just stand there waiting for your next move.

Oh, i get you. Sorry, I misread it I guess. I will make those adjustments. Thank you.
