AA is an amazingly powerful mitigation tool...if you're in melee. if you play mostly from range you will get better use from shiver.
AA is nice b/c despite the end cost b/c its autohit. the slow, afraid, and confuse make for TONS of mitigation and AA alone can almost floor the rech of most things.

this is a SO i19 respec on my dominator, originally from issue 6 or 7.
some questions:
shiver v. arctic air: i had AA on my original build and didn't even use it half of the time due to end cost. i know it has the confuse and fear, but would shiver be a better choice? i use fire breath so i'm not worried about the cone part and i'm always hopping in and out of melee for incinerate.
i had acrobatics and is it still worth it? (i just realized that second slot in assault would be better served in acrobatics in terms of end cost) what should i get instead? (i'd switch SJ -> SS if i dropped acro - maybe a karma proc in CJ is worth it)
do i have better options instead of assault/maneuvers for those power slots/end cost?
