Wizards can't keep up with rangers in damage. Noone can. Rangers are strikers, wizards are controllers. They have completely different functions in combat. Just choose feats to boost the damage types you use, also items like the staff of ruin will help a lot. Could also consider dual implement...

"In place of" a basic attack indicates that it is not a basic attack, but replaces one for that situation. "As a" basic attack is just that, it becomes a basic attack.

Mike Mearls already clarified that Shrouds are considered extra damage and are maxed on a crit. He clarified that on this very board after the class was released.

It's the class compendium, which is rumored to be cancelled. It doesn't appear on the 2011 catalog anymore.

Trying to compare anything to a ranger for pure damage is a lesson in futility. They're the kings of DPR, but that's all they really have. Can get kinda boring, imo. Also, keep in mind, while you don't add your str or dex bonus to Twin Strike damage, you do add all other static modifiers. This...

If you really want to wreak havoc on undead, play an Avenger and load up on the radiant powers. They can rip through them.

It can become an "I win" button if you have a Rogue or Executioner in the party.

A ranger can potentially nova for over 100 damage at level one with Twin Strike, Off-hand Strike, Furious Assault, and Jaws of the Wolf.

Rogues can't touch a ranger for pure damage output. Noone can. If your DM doesn't give up on this, makes LDB's stormwarden build. That'll REALLY make him cry, and beg you to play the rogue again.

Mouse wheel scrolling still doesn't work on chrome :(

They don't need to use lighter weapons. They can function great using a bastard sword. Since the only requirement is a 1h weapon.

Nevermind.

It doesn't say it only works when the target is helpless. It says it is maximized if the target is helpless. Effect: The target takes 1d10 extra damage from the triggering attack. If the target is helpless, this damage is maximized.

Other than dex primary and stealth, it's nothing like a rogue at all.

Just to clarify. Mighty Challenge does not apply to DS. Blessed Strength does. However, they still do stack.

The seeker would like to have a word with you as well. :P

Martial dailies make more sense if you break it down into time actually spent fighting. Say the average fight lasts 6 rounds (36 seconds), and you have a 4 encounter day, one of which is a skill challenge. That's less than 2 minutes game time of actual fighting. Saying that you get that one...

DWT does not give a +2 to attack rolls. It only gives proficiency and a +2 to damage.

I like some of essentials. The martial characters are horrible, though. For me, anyway. Huge step backwards for them.

I'm basing my subscription on the finalized Executioner. My biggest gripe has been the Dragon magazine quality as of late, and the playtest of this looked fantastic. It really gave me hope that they hadn't lost all creativity. Then they released the "final" version this month. While it was a...
