From Dpa and Dps perspectives, pretty sure its the worst DPA attack in the whole set can the additional follow up crit redeem it?

Yes. Attacks chains with Eagle's Claw followed by Crippling Blow are only 4 DPS behind the top chains, and the ability to use EC and follow it with Dragon's Tail makes it worth it. In normal game play you shouldn't notice the DPS loss and the extra crit on DT adds to the somewhat lack luster AoE.

Use DT or fireball/ball lighting or some other aoe after EC for a shower of crits. Its routine to see 3-5 crits easy in a large group. On ITFs it can get really fun.

I don't believe non-Martial Arts attacks are not boosted by Eagle's Claw +Critical. That said, I love using Eagle's Claw>Dragon Tail on a large group of enemies.

I think they are boosted by EC. I'm unsure how to verify in game though.

It would be great if we could verify

If I remember correctly, the reason the additional Critical chance only works on other Martial Arts powers was solely to improve the set and not overall damage output.

Well I was totally wrong on this one. This paste is from the issue 18 patch notes:

Scrappers Eagle Claw: Eagles Claw now increases the Critical Chance of Martial Arts attacks by 33% for 2 seconds after it has been activated.


Sounds like its just Ma attacks to me.
