Ghost Widow Patron Powers: Oppressive Gloom?

OK, I hesitated to grab this b/c I saw the -hit points on it, but it certainly looked intriguing. Any other */DM MM's use this? What's your opinion - useful?

Thanks!

I've never used the MM version, but I understand that it's just like the scrapper version. It's quite nice; it disables minions and stacks with any other stuns you or your pets have to take out Lts and Bosses. The HP drain is minimal; if you have Health that will counteract it, much less any self heals.

The self damage can also be split with Bodyguard, making it even more trivial for a MM.

The damage is trivial even without bodyguarding. Twilight Grasp would have to miss a LOT before I'd even notice. I just walk into groups with pets (zombies in my case) on Aggressive and watch the drunk people get shredded. Having the Absolute Amazement proc in it is just insurance against uppity EBs who don't stun... but suddenly find their to hit in the toilet.

I've been thinking of taking my Bots/Dark MM along the GW path and this power sounds pretty awesome, but I have zero experience with it. Can anyone tell me what are good ways to slot it, what helps it the best and so on?

I have a lvl 50 Thug/Pain MM and that power is really helpful if you wana stun near by enemys

It's quite nice if you want to tank or just mez a lot of minions. If you're paired up with another MM and both of you take it you can mez full mobs quite effectively.

It should also stack with Howling Twilight.
