[QUOTE="Mr. Teapot, post: 5128677, member: 62191"] The more I look at Blurred Step, the less I think the timing is a mistake or an accident. Everyone seems to assume BS is for pursuing an enemy trying to get away. If you instead think about the Battlemind trying to get between the enemy and your allies, then interrupting the movement can ruin the enemy's entire plan. In the OP's example, the battlemind could us BS to ruin the enemy's entire encounter power attack action with a well timed use of the power, preventing something in the range of 4d4+8d6+12 damage. (If the Mangler tries to move into a specific space, and the Battlemind shifts there before the enemy can get there, the entire action is wasted.) I'm planning on replacing my Warlord with a Battlemind soon, and have been watching battles thinking about when I would use BS, and have often found times where using it would disrupt an enemy's actions and cause them lots of problems. Maybe not every round, but a lot of the time. (My Battlemind will have the Mark of Passage to shift 2 squares with it, which increases its utility a lot, but that's another story.) [/QUOTE]
