PPP for nin/dark MM?

Hi,

since this is my first Dark Miasma character that exceeded level 20 (and is now closing in on 40), I'm unsure about which APP/PPP to take.

Thematically, Soul Mastery matches Dark Miasma. Also, I like the -acc from Night Fall, the stuns of Oppressive Gloom, and the graphics of Soul Storm.

Mace Mastery has Power Boost, however, and that power significantly boosts some other support powersets (like Force Fields). I wasn't yet able to try it out, but does Power Boost help Dark Miasma as much? Twilight Grasp's heal is already pretty impressive, and the mezzes and debuffs are nothing to sneeze at even without any boosts...

Would you say that Power Boost a good argument for choosing Mace Mastery for a nin/dark Mastermind?

No. Power boost doesn't last very long. You'd want to use it just before fearsome stare or petrifying gaze, but it would only enhance maybe 1 or 2 heals before it wears off.

The biggest advantage of mace is probably that the net AOE immobilize causes fly protection, which is great if you've got some Long Bow guy hovering around with a jet pack too high for your Jounin to use their swords on him.

I would recommend electric ancillary the most, actually. There's a hold in the tier 1 power choices, which you can stack with your Oni's hold, and also in tier 2 for the set there's a super armor power to put all your resistances up to cap for a short time, great in some battles. Also the thunder strike power seems somehow appropriate for a ninja, in a way (even though it's not exactly a martial arts looking attack, quite.)
