I've been playing an Inspiring Warlord since July, he's now 5th level (playing 2 times per month). I find his to be totally awesome and am as pleased a punch with him. He's a melee star, and I love moving dudes around the board, and shouting at them to get hit points back.
However, I'm making up a new guy for an online game. Since there are only 2 players in this one, as opposed to 9 in our face to face games, having a leader seemed necessary. I finally agreed to do another warlord (clerics don't interest me).
This time I decided to go with Tactical Warlord, and to pick a range of powers that were different than my Inspiring Warlord. However, looking over Tactical Presence, I'm a little underwhelmed. It seems to me that with all the combat advantage I'm going to arrange, and the fact that we seem to hit a large portion of the time in 4e anyway, I just don't see the Tactical Presence being all that useful. At most you give a +2 to hit at first level, and it's not until 8th level that it gets any better.
The range of powers that benefit from Tactical Presence seems underwhelming too. I'm thinking that Resourceful Presence might be more generally useful. Am I misisng something with Tactical Warlords that I should know (Keep in mind I will likely ever only have 1 ally with the Taclord).
