Curious question here, but I was wondering...how is "Shatter Armor" from the Mace Mastery Patron? Looks to me like it'd add a really good amount of single target "burst" damage to a Widow, especially when paired with it's -res (20%!). Does it critical out of Hide like all other Widow melee attacks? Anyone have any info on this power?
I have it on my Bane build. In fact, I went through a respec to fit Shatter Armor and made my Bane all melee.
I would start BU + Shatter, Shatter Armor. I save placate for another Shatter or Crowd.
It fits nicely on Bane for ST damage. Shatter Armor's smashing damage is about the same Shatter's total damage after Toxic DoT.
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.
