Death SHroud is pretty good. Adds to the aoeyness of claws, and REALLY helped out by follow up (you dont want it missing). But again..with all that aoe, you dont NEED it to kill mobs. The end cost is also huge, so a late power pick for me.
For teh soft capped...What about a Veat? Widows can do it east, banes and crabs with a bit more effort. Oh, or a time manip corr perhaps?

Good point. Your right, they can hit all positions. Might be too limiting to my concepts tho. I'll have to look in mids at a widow/fortunata since I already have a crab.
maybe a fort for blasting (sort of) since the others are melee/support..round out the trio.

I like your thinking MisterD.
Also, with a bit of work, /Ninjitsu Stalkers can soft-cap all positions.

Over time it will deal more damage than any of your other attacks, with no animation time. You have good AoE as it is, and having Death Shroud running will very often take off that last tick of health of an entire spawn without you having to waste the endurance and animation time on another Spin.
When you consider that you won't have to use attacks on almost dead critters, Death Shroud actually saves you endurance in the long run. Unslotted, it costs .52 end per second. When slotted it will cost you about .26-.36 end per second. You would have to have it running for more than 30 seconds to equal the endurance cost of ONE Spin. In that 30 seconds, it will have dealt in the neighborhood of 600 damage. (My Death Shroud on my BS/DA scrapper deals about 20 damage per tick)
And the same thing is true of damage auras on just about any AT.

Also, what are toons that can softcap all positions? I made a pair of toons that are part of the same "race" i guess. species? Anyways, they were made a couple months apart but ended up both having softcapped positions. I'd like to make another of these characters but cant think of what AT or sets to use. Current ones are a sword/shield scrapper and dark/time controller. Super reflexes is out as I already have a tank and scrapper with it. Dark affinity is out as these are "beings of light". (Dark control is colored gold)
