No, they are not auto hit, they require an accuracy check to work. I find 1 accuracy will usually hit most of a mob, you can always add 2 if you're obsessive about it!

OK, thanks!
dark consumption slot for 2 acc MIN, this is an end gaining power, so you dont want it to miss when you need it lol
. soul drain on a nice packed mob = 
I was thinking of slotting the END drain with, 2 accuracy, 3 recharge and 1 endurance. How's that sound?
End Mod or End Red? The cost to activate the power is less than 1 END so you should never be in a situation where you can't use it.
As for end mod, 2 minions will almost completely refill your end bar unlsotted.

2 acc, 2 recharge and 2 end mod I'd say.
I've always gone with 1acc, 3recharge and thats all for my scrapper. 3 hits and its a full bar at the cost of 1end. I guess if you're fighter low mob sizes 2 acc and end mods would be beneficial but with a 3 minute rechage I find the three recharge reductions essential

Opps, sorry I didn't make myself clear, I meant Endurance Reduction, as this is on my DM/Stone brute, and I always have some sort of Endurance power on my characters, so. . .
I just thought there would be no better secondary to teleport into the middle of a large mob and live to see the power execute! 
Anyway, thanks for your help all!
You really don't need End Reduction enhancements in Dark Consumption - the difference one SO would make is something in the region of 0.3 endurance.

If you dont have the end to fire off Dark Consumtion you have no end at all. It costs 1 end. You may die cause of the animation, but not the end cost

Ah, thats nice to know
OK, Endurance Modification then instead, my thinking this time, to get more Endurance from the few reamining enemies left after I used my Endurance killing the rest!
Hehe, thanks again!
I was just wondering if the powers Dark Consumption and Soul Drain from the Dark Melee set are auto-hits. I just wanted to know before I took them if they were with it and if I needed accuracy enhancements on them.
Thanks for all your info!
