Eh, works for me. Electric Slash is more than powerful enough as-is, and I'd lose more power from dropping the rank 6 evolutions (50% on both) than I'd gain from taking 5 ranks in her class talent (35%).
Hm, odd, but good to know.
Yeah, but the availability of shielded targets is going to vary. The Reapers in particular only have Marauders and Banshees in that respect. The rank 4 defensive evolution works all the time, and costs less damage.
I'm only getting something like 170% with my Disciple at 7. No way I'd add a mod that'll increase the weight, even at rank 10, when there's a version that does the same thing (albeit weaker) without that downside. (Also, I don't have that mod anyway.)
Question though - does Shadow Strike count for the Martial Artist effect from rank 5 of Fitness, or only actual melee? If the latter, I'd probably drop that when respecing in favor of the shield recharge boost. I'm actually thinking that getting the Shadow as much shield recharge reduction as possible may be a great way to go, to try and make it so that she starts recharging shields while doing Shadow Strike. (Unfortunately I only have one rank in the shield recharge gear...)
