So my Thugs/Dark is PPP level and i'm just not sure what to pick. Ghost whdow has really nice animations for hew powers so I look at them and notice the stats (mostly area) for her immob and damage cone are lower then the others. Im really looking heavily at Mako and Scorpion atm. How much does power boost benefit /dark? I know it will boost the heal the -hit and the hold. What about the slow from tar patch or the fear cone? Does it boost the -regen from TWG and HT?

I only have 2 slots open for PPP powers. Maybe 3 if I really want to. I like the Hold from /dark better then the PPP holds. I also don't like Siroccos Immob. The -Kb is useful but the aoe is horrible.

Looking at ...

Mako:
Shark Skin + School of Sharks (and/or Bile spray)

Scorpion:
Scorpion Shield + Power Boost ( and maybe web envelope )

What do you guys think?

Mace. Your thugs don't knock back, so you can work the longer range, wider radius immobilization. The defense shield will help you tankermind (something dark does pretty well) and web envelope with a good bit of recharge will let you hold most stuff in place, even AVs if you can get and keep it triple stacked.

I think a better choice from Ghost Widow would be Oppressive Gloom..... Great power and will stack with the bruiser's Hand Clap.

Overall I think that Mace Mastery is the best choice. The AoE immob is great as is the shield. Power Boost will enhance your heals, stun from the rezz, the -to hit and fear from fearsome stare and the hold.

Uh, don't want to hijack, but this is similar. What about for /thermal? Specifically Zombie/thermal. Thinking the shield would be OK and the PB'd heals would be nice. Having some pvp in mind.

I went Ghost widow for OG and Soul Storm on my Necro/Therm. I wanted some extra control since /therm lacks any.
