It is a very situational power, especially depending on the tactics your DM uses against you. It rather hates minions, of course (and shows how weak minions can be).
It gets better when the battle gets bigger.
Cheers!
Yeah, what I found was that it was always good for something. There would be days when you never ran into a fight where it was an overwhelmingly good power, but chances were still that in any given adventuring day there would at least be one encounter where it produced enough damage to pull its weight. And then there were the times when it just rocked and rolled big time. My sister's dwarf used it heavily. I think it is a pretty balanced power overall, though definitely a top choice for that slot for most fighters. If you have a bard or warlord that goes pretty heavy into forced movement things can get fairly nasty. It is really one of those powers that you'll rarely say "this turned the tide" but OTOH when you can deliver several extra free W's of guaranteed damage every round...
