I use it as the 4th attack in my chain, along with Smite, Siphon Life and Midnight Grasp, and love it.
While it may be solid damage, Dark Blast added into the chain is still lower than Smite - Midnight Grasp - Smite - Siphon Life, correct?

Or is Dark Blast better than I've thought?

With Dark Melee I would go Fire over Soul, colour it dark and it matches well enough too.

But I think its mostly about the epic AoE powers and the ability to fit an extra purple set than increasing the ST damage.

How are you managing to recolour an APP? HAX!

Well, I should clarify that it is my 4th power, though it isn't in my primary ST DPS chain. You are correct about the actual attack chain (I use exactly what you posted, though sometimes I lead with MG), but when I need a 4th power (or have a runner or want to finish off someone else's mob from a distance) Dark Blast is it, and I love it. Fast recharge and solid dmg. It takes a purple set, too, btw, and lets you grab Shadow Meld.

What's not fun about taking down an AV? Oh well to each his own.


The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
