Things that would be interesing to see: A new season for the Sentinel druid [perhaps an implement build, similar to how the death domain was an implement build, and thus an excuse to include totem expertise, also it would provide some indirect support for the older druids at least in terms of...

With the warlord, they could either rename it now, or wait until they do make a new build. Now is a good opportunity (since it's doing the class compendium stuff) and they'll have that name available if/when they do make an Essential build of the class. The big reason for the ones with...

At the same time, if you have the prereqs for the shield spec, you could take chain or scale spec instead. For Plate and Hide, you may not have that option, but for all the armor ones, the side benefit is minor (aside from scale ... +1 movement speed is pretty snazy ... +1 to skills, less so)...

In terms of the Oases and the idea of things being swept away: The Feywild If you can get any info on the feywild, basically there are places where it crosses over into the "normal" world on occasion and makes world fall for a while. That seems to fit the concept, and can give you a chance...

You can use a Free Action when it's not your turn ... if it has a trigger and that trigger happens when it isn't your turn. Since this doesn't have a trigger, you have to use it on your turn.

The builds that problematic: a) Bard (they don't have many, if any, powers that are themselves versatile, so a thrown weapon just let's you use both melee and ranged powers with the same weapon, meaning no swapping, and not having to buy two items ... functionally similar to them using a...

The Knight's mark punishment is an Opportunity Action that happens to involve an MBA, it is not actually an Opportunity Attack, and doesn't allow the use of Grappling Strike.

Worse than that, the tratnyr is basically just a trident with better range. [which is basically just a spear you can throw 3/6 range. So from simple (+2, 1d8, versatile) the only improvements going to military then superior is adding heavy thrown 3/6 and then increasing that to 10/20). In...

Not true. With or without Heavy Blade Opportunity, Grappling Strike can be used as an MBA for opportunity attacks. Battle Guardian is an opportunity action, which is similar (it has the same timing in that it can happen 1/turn), but it doesn't count as an opportunity attack, and thus would not...

Admitedly, as a direct support for warpriests, they stuck with the stats for it, but even then, many of the powers don't require an attack roll, and don't actually use Wisdom for anything. So, they could have made it so that everything was useless for Strength based clerics, but instead made at...

The assassin is only available through DDi/Dragon magazine (the original assassin, and it's hybrid/MC options that is). So, if you have a subscription, you can find the articles, as well as use it through the character builder.

It's going to be a DDi article, so it probably won't end up in a book any time soon (never say never, the Executioner Assassin was supposed to be DDi exclusive, and there was that Dragon Annual a while back, etc).

They mentioned that in June they would be doing a multiclass and hybrid article that would address some of the newer content, and specifically mentioned the vampire. So, it would probably not be until July when it would be in the builder.

Technically speaking, he can only make a normal MBA against a shifting opponent either way, he only gets an OA (and thus the ability to use grabbing strike) when they move (or make a ranged attack). So he'd get to attack every enemy that shifted away instead of only 1/round, but the the enemies...

They do have a sorceror though, so he should be able to deal with minions pretty easily. This is more of an issue ... if it's a weaponmaster fighter, he'll have stickiness on his side, but other than that, it may be hard to get monsters where you want them. Depending on the cleric, you may...

It does require taking quick draw to work (since otherwise you can't really switch weapons between attacks) [well, I guess you could minor action and throw the weapon first, then do the rest with the bow]. It's a bit cheesy, but then again, it's not a huge deal. Wizards get feat options to do...

What Rapid Shot (the at-will which allows for the pseudo burst attacks) says that you make a ranged basic attack with a weapon against each creature ... It's the stance, Aspect of the Cunning Fox, does say whenever you hit or miss with a melee attack or ranged attack on your turn.

A) Most thrown weapons are heavy, so they are already using Strength instead of Dex for MBAs. B) If you are a class that has a mix of melee and ranged (rogue, ranger, artificer, bard) you don't just have the action economy to think about (switching between different weapons via Master at...

I could see them perhaps giving a better definition of what is significant. While, it's true that something like "jumping a meaningless distance as part of your move" or using a minor looking for something that probably doesn't exist are obvious attempts to "use up" bad rolls ... there are times...

Yup.
