If you go for Stamina you don't need Dark Consumption (if you are looking for an AoE attack you picked the wrong primary). Taunt is fine, but not needed either. Not knowing how your build looks or your goals I would consider starting Fitness/Fighting. I'd also gouge my own eyes out if I only had Smite, Siphon, and Maul as attacks. So I would really look at Air Superiority if you don't have it yet. Boxing isn't too bad either plus it opens Fighting.
Well, we're talking levelling build here more than final build, so it's more about maximizing viability along the way.
Long-term I will take stamina, but I can't really see how to fit it in till at least 38 (even if I start fitness at 18), given how many awesome powers are coming up through the 20s and early 30s.
I don't mind this attack chain for now, though long term, of course, Maul will be dropped.
Working through a DM/WP, an I'm kinda torn about power selection at 18. Currently I've got everything in my secondary, and from the primary have smite, shadow maul, and siphon life.
Two options to take at 18 are Taunt and Dark Consumption. Part of me wants to take Taunt to feed RttC, but I also feel like maybe DC's AoE would bring me enough aggro to feed it, plus give me a bit of AoE damage and some help with end management.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
