Soo...it's a toss-up?

MA has picked up some fairly significant buffs since that time. Given that SR has alot of opportunity to build in more recharge, I think you might get more mileage out of SS as rage would be up more often. However, I have not been very close to any of these sets in years.
Yeah, MA is far more attractive now than it used to be; I wouldn't be fussing over this decision a few issues ago.
Any other thoughts?
Just ask yourself do you want to fly high up into the air and hit things or do you want to knockthings down with major umph?
