I've never found much use for extra Channel Divinity feats. There are some nice powers amongst them but invariably I feel like it's a waste of a feat given that you can only use one CD an encounter.
I can see in some circumstances that having this extra option in combat can be useful, but on the whole, I find the entire mechanic a bit ill-conceived. Sacrificing Divine Guidance or Divine Mettle or Divine Strength or Healer's Mercy for some other power just isn't that enticing.
About the only class I can see it being useful for is the Invoker because their CD's already suck.
And yet we are inundated with CD options. I swear almost every single Dragon article has at least one CD feat in it. ENOUGH ALREADY!
It's got to be the most used and abused mechanic by the designers that has ever existed, even pre 4e. Am I wrong? Am I delusional? Have I succumb to some sort of fever dream where I'm imagining the world being flooded with CD feats?
Or are you over it as well?
