Is there a way for a fighter to immediately mark an enemy upon a successful kill... for instance I take down one enemy and a nearby enemy now sees me as an extraordinary threat.

Close the Gap, U2:

Immediate Reaction Personal

Trigger: An adjacent enemy marked by you drops to 0 hit points

Effect: You move a number of squares equal to your Dexterity modifier. You can mark one enemy that is adjacent to you after this movement. The mark lasts until the end of your next turn.

Hmmm ? U2?

The idea was to have something which was very "fighter" and which might be of value with a minion hoard of course the value is still not huge

Inferior to a cleave vs minions...no?

Hack and Hew with Invigorating would both provide temp hit points and be slightly inferior to cleave offensively...

Spinning Cleave

Fighter Encounter power I just made up

Spinning Cleave. level 1

as per cleave, except the instead of "an enemy adjacent to you" use "each enemy adjacent to you" .

It still seems a defender power not a striker doesnt create that wonderful benefit of every single one being marked that would might make it a must have.(?).

I would like it to be reliable cause that would serious disappoint to whiff...

Punishing charge would be nice except the end result is no minion will attack you during that move....

It allows a shift. Conan often seems to shift, if one takes the REH narration literally.

Then there is the shield in obvious use in the image at the top of the thread.... for that extra pickiness factor. (The Berserker looks around expectantly)

A shift as a move action after mowing down a pair of enemies also gets that visual too...

Battlerager vigor will make things safer in general too.

I was going to mention that.

IIRC there are fighter daily powers that essentially surround the fighter with a zone of "damage" (IIRC 1[W] damage).

Rain of Steel said:

You assume the rain of steel stance. Until the stance ends, any enemy that starts its turn adjacent to you takes 1[W] damage, but only if you're able to make opportunity attacks.

But not relevant if we are only discussing level 1 fighters.
