Yeah, Pit Fighter + Marked Scourge, and Slashing Storm in epic as well. Add a decent Con score and an at-will like Brash Strike to the mix, choose a couple of multi attack powers and you're probably on par with your average striker (rogue/warlock) as far as DPR and nova damage go. Heck, by the...

Actually, IIRC, the word "still" in MB's post was there because, after the October calendar was released, people assumed that the calendar lacking an update date meant that WotC's plans had changed and that they no longer had an update scheduled for october. That's what MB addressed, unless I'm...

Nope, just power strike.

The only reason it's implied is that they did update it every month 'till now. So if they provided a crappier service in the last 2 years, like updates that were 6 months away from each other or if they just updated whenever they felt like, people would not complain now? It doesn't make a lot...

As I said before, I think that's a good business decision and a sign of good will, so I'm glad for you ;)

And why exactly do you expect them to, when they said in advance that they may or may not? Again, I hate to bring up the EULA every other post, but it never mentioned new books. What it basically said was "we'll update the DDI tools whenever we see fit". That's why I disagree with you, even if...

Except that, in this case, you were told in advance that the waiter might not smile at you and might not help you with your order. And you said you were ok with it ( when you signed the EULA ).

That's precisely the point: you didn't pay for the update, you paid for access to DDI. The monthly update may or may not happen (or, at least, it's what it's written in the EULA you signed). In other words, while you can reasonably expect a monthly update, it's not a given that they'll issue a...

If you aren't angry or upset, then that part of my post wasn't aimed at you, isn't it obvious? On the other hand, I fail to see how anyone got "screwed", considering that, as noted, a monthly update wasn't guaranteed when you subscribed.

Actually, I'm lumping myself with the group that isn't happy about the lack of an update ;) Still, I'm not going to complain loudly about something that I'm not entitled to. As I said, they said upfront ( in the EULA... and whether you guys like it or not, that's what they're going to stick to...

I'm not saying you should. I'm just saying that if we claim that we didn't get something we paid for, we're wrong.

Yes, and it's been updated pretty regularly for... what, 2 years now? Sure, without the updates the tools would lose a ton of appeal. This doesn't change the fact that WotC is under no obligation to update DDI monthly, so they haven't done anything wrong: delaying a patch is well within their...

This is from the EULA for DDI. It's not hard to find, it took me 5 minutes. So, no, we're not entitled to a monthly update. Don't get me wrong, I'm also pissed off that we don't get a monthly update, and I think that if WotC extended active subscriptions by 1 month it would be a class act, but...

On top of my head, Reincarnate Champion cheese... but you won't be able to have your new shiny at-will 'till level 24 or so, so I don't think it's what you're looking for. (Grab a primal MC feat, grab Reincarnate Champion as your Epic Destiny of choice, choose Revenant as one of your past...

Well, I suppose that, on the other hand, nobody has yet convinced the designers that it's a bad idea, so... :P Anyway, why don't you start convincing us that it's a bad idea? I get the general point, but do you have any specific racial feat in mind? :)

Frankly, I doubt we'll see a full rewrite. More likely, humans will just gain the aforementioned encounter power and will be able to choose a second stance/trick/whatever from their class. Just my 2 cents, anyway...

Well, you should be going for sneak attack most of the time (flanking is not that hard after all). Spending a ton of feats and money on a strategy that's going to be useful maybe 10% of the time is certainly doable, but hardly a great idea, IMHO. You're probably better off spending those same...

Sorry if it took me so long to respond, I'm pretty busy this week... Anyway: my point is that the fighting style specializations gave you "more of the same", be it one more parry, one extra attack or a +1 here and there. They didn't change the way you played, they just made you better at what...

? This is the level 29 version. Are you thinking of another item? Has master's blade been errata'ed?

Yes, but I think his point is that nothing of these made an actual difference in how you played a fighter, since all of the fighting styles granted passive benefits: regardless of the weapon you were using, the most effective strategy ( usually move and attack, sometimes holding back one attack...
