To start: Bolstering blood deals its damage when the power deals damage. So you ask yourself "when does the power deal damage". If the power deals damage twice, then the "when" is "twice, after these different hits" if the power deals damage three times the "when" is "three times after these...

actually he would be a fighter and yell "Nothing gets through the Iron Curtain!" as he charged into battle.

I always forget to add weapon enhancement to damage on ongoing spell damage.

yes, welcome to two pages ago. No, i said you need to hit with firestorm to do significant damage. 1d10+int/round when you can't move the control area is pretty weak You get the analogy but still continue to profess how right you are? The analogy is for you, because you know you're wrong...

It also doesn't say that Utility Powers aren't attacks. And doesn't say that magical healing isn't an attack. And doesn't say that your second wind isn't an attack. It doesn't say a weapon isn't an attack. Oh no, any minion instantly dies when it picks up a weapon(since it got hit by an attack!)...

Is actually not very good. "End of your next turn" triggering on an opponents turn after he attacks a target will only produce one action per enemy(that is not an attack) where the target is blinded. Since they know what happened they will always attack last in their turn. You will get combat...

And then on the next round the power deals damage again.... I mean how are you going to deal with the wizard that does 4d6+2d10 damage per round for 50 rounds?[or hell, 4d6/round for 50 rounds]. Necrotic web is no action. It just continues. The two encounter powers are likely to be Blood...

Did you even bother to read the post above the one you just let off? 50 damage AoEs are not spectacular, 11 average damage/round to a bunch of enemies is not spectacular as a daily. A 20st lvl ranger will be doing about 27.5 average damage with twin strike assuming it has a 50% hit rate and...

Artificer does not mesh well with archmage it looks like. Heroes Elixer as an Encounter power is better than pretty much any cleric healing could ever be(all the time), just spend an hour preparing them each day and take durability/dwarven durability Lightning Matrix is pretty nasty. Auto-daze...

Group Insight is not used a a diplo twink, its used for the init, add in everyone taking improved init, and the warlord feat that lets you add your int/cha bonus instead of 2 to everyone's rolls as well as starting off with either cha or int at 16 and pumping it you can end up with +10-13 init...

Dwarves get warhammer and throwing hammer prof as a racial already. They get the rest of the hammers and axes with the feat.

I would agree with that, so ignore what I said about ray of enfeeblement, since being dazed grants combat advantage.

Lets see: Interesting: Power Attack: For Rangers especially at later levels Weapon Focus: For rangers especially at later levels Blade Opportunist: For Fighters: Very handy with specific feat combinations Combat Reflexes: For fighters: Combine with blade opportunist for +3 to attack for...

A note: Don't Underestimate the single target encounter powers. Especially with something as strong as Daze or Weaken. Its tough to say which one is better. They work especially well with readied actions. But if you can't let off your encounter power because the single enemy has friendlies...

R= works with ranged M= works with melee Lev 25 daily: RN: Relentless assault[Everyone makes any basic attack as free action on crit till end of encounter] R:Stir the Hornet's Nest[Miss; ranged basic attack for everyone] Lv 23 encounter: M: Pillar to Post[1 melee basic on hit] RM: Sudden...

Unless its a minion, in which case the area denial is perfect. Stick it behind a door and no minions can come through which means can mean a whole lot fewer melee attacks(if they are all melee minions), or ranged attacks if you are able to get some cover and deny them the ability to advance...

It gets even more confusing when you have a wizard that takes a level 1 spell slot when they reach fifth level. So they have 2 level 1 spell slots and 0 level 5 spell slots(just as if another class had picked a lower level daily instead of a higher level)

The other advantage is that MM can be used with the plethora of Warlord Abilities that grant ranged basic attacks. Its a little weak compared to the rest when not figuring that, but it allows you to participate when the Warlord coordinates fire and other such stuff. Which, especially in later...

1. No he cannot, if he uses a paragon path he is limited to one daily, one utility, and one encounter. That is hardly "All the best spells". He can indeed use archmage, and Bloodmage, but only on those powers(and he is missing out on thunderwave, the quintessential wizard at will). If he wants...

No "because you say so" is not a valid justification. You need to actually have a reason that power vs power comparison is necessary rather than whether or no the system is balanced on a whole. If the system is balanced on the whole, who cares if a few powers are out of line. I was under the...
