Soul Tentacles is almost like Tenebrous Tentacles, has a cool animation and immobilizes target, main difference is that there is no acc debuff on soul tentacles.
If your gonna drop an attack on a Dark Brute, drop the first, not Midnight Grasp. The first is easily replaced by Brawl to build up Fury, and Midnight Grasp on full fury is awesome [img]/uk/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
I would take smite, shadow punch, shadow maul, and midnight grasp to make your attack chain. I cant recommend using brawl over shadow punch since both shadow punch and shadow maul have some of the lowest activation times of any attack and are using negative energy damage type which, is not as resisted as smashing/leathal of brawl. The only use of brawl is to drop toggles in PvP, but its not as effective as doing that since I7. Although when u get toggle dropped it hurts.
With so few primarily damage based attacks u have to make use of each one, and recognise its benifits drawbacks. For instance shadow maul is cone effect, it can do double or triple the damage and build fury (I guess, never have trouble with building fury). However without midnight grasp u have to rely on touch of fear to root one mob and wait for the 2nd or third to run past and line up ur cone. If u have 2 immobilises (one of which has ~4sec recharge with hasten/lightning reflexes), its that much easier to use the cone effect; which without your immobilizes is a matter of very rapid strafe tapping on the keys prone to mistiming.
Contrasting midnight grasp with soul tenacles; u get 59 damage up front plus a negative energy dot and immobilize. Soul tenacles, u just get the dot (ever so slightly higher endurance cost according to the prima guide), and an immobilize of the same magnitude. Touch of fear has a higher magnitude. Ive put the fear into several AVs for a moment or 2.
Although tenacles - if it still puts other PvPs into a knockback position where u cant use break frees, its got its benifit over midnight grasp until if/when they fix it.
Got a themed build going and have just got to lvl 40, was looking at the PPP for ghost Widow and see Soul Tentacles. I refrained from Midnight Grasp as it seemed a bit poor.
Can anybody tell me what the difference is between the two?
