You are right, that is impolite. I appolgise for insulting tone. I did have bad experience there, but best to keep it to myself.

/Never mind. Carry on./ My online game of choice is DDO. All trappings of D&D 3e, in a shared world, with a bit tweaked mechanics. And now its F2P (or part of game is, at least) and, judging by people that were there form start, a lot better than at launch.

Yeah, Melee training is good because fighter is most powerful class of 4E, but it isn't enough. Let Battlemind suck a bit more. /sarcasm (I wasn't serious about Battlemind, errataed Blurred Step is pretty cool.) The question of Melee Training isn't a question of verisimilitude or realism. If...

I was just joking. Calm down. Besides, i said that it isn't a "powergaming toy". You got it totally wrong. EDIT: Having reread your post, I see your point. Disregard last sentence. As for "stopping" and "powergaming toy", it was a hyperbole.

Bah, you all act like the fact that cards won't serve as powergaming toy is a good thing. If that's the case, you would stop at some point. But, adding whackyness and randomness to GW game is a clever ploy indeed - who can resist it? I tell you, WOTC is after our money.

Massive horde consisting of Bloodmage and Phiarlan Phanatasmist. Academy master is any arcane class, ditto Master of flame; Divine oracle and Life singer are from other classes; Planeshifter is solid, but nothing spectacular, Arcane wayfayer is quite good, but doesn't sinergise well with any...

Um, sorry for quote war, everyone. It's a single daily power. There are even better ones in wizards power list. Rolling twice vs. will is better, because it applies to all your powers. Of course, YMMV. Wizard's wrath (Or whatever the twice MM/round power was called) + Magic Missile was also...

I agree with everything you said, but the fact that two Psion's level 1 at-will are effective cannot be denied, even if it is the worst kind of yawn-tactic in 4e (worse than even Twin-strike spamming - ranger is another badly designed but effective class).

Rolling twice vs. will is better benefit than Salutation for control-oriented wizards. And there are powers that work very well with archmage besides Salutation - Prismatic beams, Visions of Ruin, Prismatic Spray, even the good old Visions of Avarice. As for damage oriented wizards, the...

I'll have to disagree. Wizard currently is one of the most powerful classes in game (Right behind Fighter and Warlord, IMO), but paragon paths aren't anything special. Most wizards will want cross-class paths, like Divine Oracle, Life Singer, Whatever-was-the-name of Invoker PP that gives -2 to...

I think that they could simply write: These spells gain evocation school: From PHB: A, B, C; From Arcane Power: X, Y, ... I also think wizards and clerics will get rituals over levels. The main school specialization feature will probably be available at level 1. I hope it will be better than...

Well, killing a monster before it had its third action is better than if you kill it after it had its third action. So, yes, it's important for entire combat. But the dex adjustment is fairly minor, so con is better stat for leftover points. Generally, you first raise primary/secondary stats...

I like current direction. Too much fluff, and we'll end up with Golden Wyvern Adepts again.

I appears that you are right. You have total concealment from being invisible while hidden. Mea culpa. Anyway, I can't say I know Rogue very well, but it seems to me (looking at the Character Builder) that Artful Dodger has a way better riders on powers.

Actually, CharOppers consider Artful Dodger to be better than Cunning sneak for melee. And melee rogues better than ranged rogues. Also, concealment only gives -2 penalty.
