The spell, frankly is stronger in the hands of the DM than it is for players. I am quite sure I can take almost any giant, add 4 levels of non associated class: Sorcerer, take Wraithstrike, and full power attack with a 2 handed weapon, and with Cleave, and Great Cleave kill most groups.
Wraithstrike was from Complete Multiclassing err.. I mean Complete Adventurer and is clearly meant to make up for horrible Wizard/Fighter BAB Of course a 16 level Eldritch Knight is only 3 points of BAB behind a warrior class, and Touch AC for many creatures is more than 3 points away.
Part of me wonders if there was no 2 for 1 Power Attack, if the spell would be that much overpowered? Part of me also thinks that unless you are fighting a creature that has SR you just can not beat, that dropping a high level spell into Arcane Strike may not be the best way to go.
Damage from Power Attack is obviously less randomized than a handful of D6s , and you can Crit with a weapon more easily, but when you can cast Implosion, is it truly better to be Wraithstriking, Power Attacking, Arcane Striking?
