focus has a higher chance to Crit than Dark Blast on Lts and above.
nevermind the fact it is just plain awesome.
Focus has radically better DPA than dark blast in the first place so I'm not sure how you're coming up with this dilemma in the first place. Focus is 79 and dark blast is 55.
Focus also has 100% knock down and it doesn't require weapon redraw. If you switch between Dark Blast and claw attacks, you will need to redraw.
Of course you can take both to have two range attacks. My old Claw Stalker did.
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.

On mine it lists Focus as 81.8 and Dark Blast at 125.1
The higher chance to crit thing is a bit of a seller for me though that I hadn't considered and if my Mids is lying to me about Dark Blast being awesome, it makes the choice even easier
.thanks for the info guys.

If you have the old version of mids it lists dark blast's damage as if it was always a crit.

It says
Program Version: 1.942
Game Issue: 12
Database Version: 20.1 (10/May/2011)
Is that the most current version? Considering it is claiming we are still in Issue 12, I am assuming no.
For a competing source, City of Data lists Scrapper Focus as 1.4595 PVE damage scale and Stalker (Scapper) Soul Mastery Dark Blast as 1.00 PVE damage scale (same as the Dark Blast in the Scrapper Darkness Mastery pool), although Focus does take 0.17 seconds longer to animate.

I am a Claws Scrapper with the Soul PPP.
So Dark Blast has a higher damage per animation and should be my primary attack of the two. Does this hold true when factoring in redraw times? Or does the redraw animation push Focus ahead in Damage per animation?
Not overly worried about the secondary effects of these powers at this time.
