Pros:  Blinded opponents, and Controllers get the extra damage for subsequent attacks.  Cons:  TH penalty.  PBAoE, so you have to run into the melee to use it.

Fast recharge.  Cool effect.  Cons:  Terror causes folks to run away.  Fear does allow some attacks back.  Area of effect is limited.<\/ol>\n<p>After some quick reading on the boards, decided to go with ST.  Spent the evening playing with Psi-clone and Amorpha, and it&#8217;s pretty good.
