Scare's a pretty poor power. I wouldn't take it myself. Probably much better stuff you can put in that slot.

Aren't half the powers in Mental melee range or PBAoE?

Yup...it is actually is mostly melee or PBaoe and I took none of it. I just took Subdue (A must), Psyche Drain, Psychic Scream, Psychic Shockwave and world of confusion.
It's working very well actually. I got to focus more on my blasts, and I didn't ever wanna be in melee range to be honest.
Soloed like a dream
But I am gonna respec out of scare and take something else. It's just not a solid power.
So my Blaster Hexsing is built a touch different than other blasters. She is a Dark Blast/Mental Blaster with only range and absolutely no melee attacks at all. What I have done with her is slotted her heavily with procs as opposed to damage.
So in every blast attack (Inclusing subdue and Moonbeam)I have a devestation chance to hold, or a full set or frankenslotted . I also have lockdown in my abbysal gaze and in my (cant remember the power, but it's in electric mastry and it is a hold) Electric cone I have a proc for a 10% chance of disorient. I have no melee powers at all!
Now that I am an incarnate, I took the interfase that procs confusion. So all in all eveything is either held, or held in purple electric bubbles or confused. Which means I hardly ever die.
So I am wondering about scare. It seems redundant because enemies wont attack unless attacked, and while solo I could see this working wonderfully as a soft control, Im even finding it's value to be lacking because of my procs. So I am trying to find it's advantage over say a hold, or a disorient, or now my confuse, because where it sits as a tier 8 power means that even if I exemp down for arcs etc I do not have access to it.
So should I perhaps remove it? Should I keep it? Or would I be better to take a pool power, or something else. Im just not sure the advantage of this power, unless it's highly unresistable.
