Soul Drain is an incredible power since they buffed the heck out of it; I would never want to give it up for BU. In fact, if I could get SD on my Fire Melee Tank instead of BU, I'd do it in a heartbeat. (Well, after I figured out how to incorporate it into my build, anyways!)
Big no to changing Soul Drain into a Build Up clone. Nothing wrong with having powers with different mechanics. And I love me some Soul Drain.

In PvP it might need altering, I wouldn't know.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Soul Drain is much preferable to Build Up. It does two things for you: it boosts your to hit and damage, for longer than Build Up does, and it attacks multiple enemies to get their attention.

Is this a joke?? While the recharge is longer, the duration of the power is much longer in return. Not to mention it has the potential for more damage bonus and tohit buff. AND, it does some damage on top of that. |

And I'm not sure it's possible to get people playing it more than they already do. Seems a pretty popular set right now.

I think I'd prefer that to happen for Fiery Embrace, actually. That power needs some loving. Build-up is on par with, well, all the other Build-ups.|

You have me wishing now, though. Please can we have this Castle, pretty please? Fiery Aura needs a bit of tweaking, and I think BAB could make a terrific animation with it, too!

But he was clever enough to tempt BAB with a new animation. There's nothing like giving a creative mind a new challenge. Then we'll have people on both sides pestering Castle!
