Touch of Fear is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. With just an Accuracy in it you can turn a boss into a useless coward in 2 hits. The duration is much longer than the quite quick recharge time. It is a very fun power with a short animation. I managed to perma-fear Maestro with Touch of Fear so I imagine it works on other AVs too.
Superspeed is nice, it's my favourite travel power and is the most useful one in missions both because of its speed and it's stealth component.
Assuming you would be taking superspeed as a second travel power I would recommend getting Touch of Fear.
@Unthing ... Mostly on Union.
although i would say at the highlevel that touch of fear isnt that useful as most things die in a attack cycle.
useful exemping down though or pre epics
@ExtraGonk
Touch of Fear........... cant imagine a DM build without it. That is if SS is your second travel power. If you dont already have one I guess SS should come first.

I'm 34 atm nearing 35.
I took overhead smash and flight, I also have hasten and combat jumping.
Im very happy with flight but if I get an opportunity I may remove CB. However it is handy to jump that little higher and the bonus to defense seems nice.
I don't generally mind beating up mobs in a mission to progress and sometimes I do fly about 
.
May choose fear.
The next power choice is moment of glory and Im not skipping that for ss or fear .
Any comments on BM?
If you're DM/Regen you probably dont need conserve power, unless you dont have stamina.
Focussed Acc is fairly usefull I guess, but without being able to 6 slot for damage not as good as it once was.
If I ever go back to my dull DM/Regen I'll take BM, but only for FA, I want more slots for my fear based powers, and I want them to hit.

BM, ok, heres my view on BM.
conserve power: good light on the slot needs and coupled with DC you shouldnt run out of end (however on a stamina and conserve power+cd build i can still run out of endurance sometimes)
FA: 3 slot to hit and 2 slot end redux, this allows you to only need 1 ACC in attacks to hit what feels like oyu ACC cap vs everything, even when debuffed you still hit almost all the time.
take those at 41 and 44, because everything you are aiming for is:
Energy Torrent: as you know DM's weakness is no knockdown at all, ET allows you to knock down the whole group in one move, it hits a lot, its fast recharge and its knock DOWN not back (unless the mobs are -10 to you). this is the crown jewels of the Epic and the single reason i have kept this epic for my DM, its increadible and immediately makes it your opening move in your attack cycle.
i slotted it 1 ACC, 3 Dam and 2 Recharge.
use it, love it, i've pursuaded a few scrappers to try it in the past and they've never looked back

I thought Moment of Glory was available at level 38.... IIRC level 35 is Revive.
@Unthing ... Mostly on Union.
ToF: Get it, use it, Love it. Even at high levels its a brilliant power, if an AV is trembling in fear it isn't hitting you, plus it has a ACC debuff making it useful even when they do try to hit. It doesn't suffer from DMs normal poor accuracy. I slot 2x ACC 2x Recharge 2x ToHitDebuff (Recharge is overkil perhaps 
)
SS: Not my favorite travel power, but okay with flight.
Conserve Power: If you have stamina pointless, and I don't think its particularly useful without stamina, that said 3x recharge and its at the same slotting as stamina without two prerequisits, so okay.
Focused Accuarcy: The pool defining power, 3x ToHit 2x EndRdx. Get it Slot it etc.
Laser Beam Eyes: Gives you a bit of range, which is nice and it looks cool.
Energy Torrent: Knockdown and back, essentially same as the blasters (Energy Primary) less damage. IMO Not worth it if you have Arial Superiority (Flight pool), but thats down to personal choice.
True, and its very situational, I personally wouldn't take it. 
(Or revive)
Revive isnt in my build would rather use an insp. which protects me if I die again from more debt loss.
I meant that Im taking moment of glory at 38 and theres no other choice for me.
At the mo I have a choice.
Looks like most folk love the fear and Ill drop a SM power and just get 3.
I also dont have fitness and I dont mind not having it as it used to keep instant healing running since its a toggle theres not too much point and I'd rather have more funky powers.
DM/Regen is not dull I like it alot and since the old days you see a vast variety of scrappers rather than most things +regen hehe.
Ahh I see lost ninja ok Ill think hard about moment of glory.
not true, its knockdown not knockback, it allows to (in one move) stop all the mobs hitting you at once.
the damage isnt where its at, tis the knockdown, its great for using vs 2 mob groups - and even better than taunt vs mobs that need peeling off squishies.
its ranged, not melee, so you open with that, and it gives you time to get to the mobs and they aint even hit you once, by the time they are standing they already lost one guy, air super the next then get to work, using ET as your opener is increadible.
@ExtraGonk
Fair enough could have sworn that when I had it ages ago (i3/i4) it did do knockback sometimes. Still wouldn't take it if I have AS, from the point of if I can survive 40 levels without a mass knockdown I don't really need it at 41+. I'd say the same for laserbeam eyes, I don't normally take that either.
But as I say I've tried it didn't find it that special.
Hey folks,
Im very happy with my build, my scrapper is of a decent level, so Im not gonna post here with a tonne of blurb.
However I do need advice on a couple of power choices. When I hit my next level I am unsure whether to take ss so I can run fast through missions or to take touch of fear.
I lead on to body mastery, currently in my build I have allocated all the BM powers, I do have Soul Drain so I am considering dropping Focused Accuracy for either ss or touch of fear. Can a higher level than myself please make some decent comments regarding these choices.
Kind regards
Good Soul
