I'm sorta speechless. I found out my account has been activated for a month just now. I'm guessing that one of the trial accounts I sent out became active, but I figured I would lose any time from that because I was inactive. Turns out I was wrong.
So you might end up seeing me here and there in-game soon :)
Speaking of, what's the ETA on issue 13?

Oh woot! I just checked my account on plaync and it says's I'm at the 1 year vet reward!
I have been waiting for this one for a long time. I can't wait to put Sands of Mu on my Dark Melee scrapper. If I respec him into flurry, he'll have 3 powers that animate the same :D. If their recharge speeds work out right, I can keep him in a constant state of punching (whappity whappity whappity!)

Grats on the annual Jordan. Would be an interesting all 3 lined up one after another. Too bad that Sands Acc isnt great, Flurry damage is sub par, or that would be a nice stack.

I've been using that Sands of Mu for so long I can't even imagen making a character with out it. I do agree with chuck, Flurry is no good but Sands and Shadow maul do go great back to back.

If you have a way to debuff defense on something, Sands is cool. Otherwise, after about level 10, it's Sands of Miss. :)

It sounds like you need more global to-hit buffs. Aim and Tactics are good. Accuracy bonuses from IO sets are also helpful.
Atually, it's Sands of Miss all along. You just notice it more after you've gotten used to having accuracy enhancements on all your other attacks.

How good is the axe in practice?

Acc suffers just like sands does. But when it hits on the undead its really nice. Has a long animation on the draw.
Both of those are just fillers. The axe has helped me round out a theme or two for a few toons.

Don't forget that they also recently bumped up the ACC every attack in the lower levels. The bonus scales down as you go up, and then levels out to normal ACC at around 15 or so, I believe.
My Dark/Dark scrapper loves Sands...I took so many of the toggles that it's one of my few attacks. Plus, when you get good at lining up the mobs just right, the slight cone that Mu has is great.
I've only taken the Axe once, on my BS scrapper, and that was for concept more than function. Unless you fight ghosts, or undead a lot, it doesn't have a lot of use outside of having an emergency attack if your recharge has been debuffed or something.
