I took it, but am considering respeccing out of it and into Havoc Punch. I usually only take two of the three beginning attacks on any tanker set, and since Charged Brawl is forced, I took Jacob's Ladder. It seems to me to be even harder to get mobs into the AoE than with Shadow Maul, which is hard enough. It is slower than Havoc Punch. |

My scrapper skipped Havoc Punch and feels no need to have it. It isn't like you are going to be hurting for AoE without this.

This is a perception issue. Jacob's Ladder has a wider cone than Shadow Maul (7ft 50 deg vs 7ft 45 deg).|
