Stop trying to censor me!

Trying to connect Gleemax failing with 4e itself seems like grasping to me. Wizard's incompetence in all things digital has never yet affected sales of their physical product.

So how troubling are those pages at the end of the core books that say "Join D&D Insider, powered by Gleemax!" now?

No cover. He's around a corner from you, but not around a corner from the origin square, which is what matters.

This thread is a real scrob-woobler.

I also didn't ever udnerstand the purpose of Gleemax. What was supposed to make it so special?

That's how you're supposed to do it.

In general, it seems to me that Strikers and Controllers have the best at-will powers, Leaders have the best encounter powers, and Controllers and Leaders have the best Daily powers. Defenders aren't the "best" at anything but they are good across all types.

I'm playing a Ranger in KotS and I've found the best strategy is to maneuver around the sides of the battle, engaging the artillary and skirmishers while the defenders pick up the tougher guys. If you're an Elf this is much easier because of the speed bonus.

Still, I think SOTM is better than Hawk's Talon in the vast majority of situations. Especially once you get Battlefield Archer and the multiple quarry ability.

One OR two creatures actually. Which makes it as versatile as any double-attack.

Any plans for analysis on the level 9 dailies any time soon?

After doing the math yesterday Hawk's Talon seems to be notably inferior to Spikes of the Manticore unless you have an unnaturally large Wis bonus.

The problem isn't characters that aren't completely optimized in every way. The problem is characters whose concept makes them inherently less optimized than others, compounded with being poorly optimized even within that concept. At the very least you should be optimized within the framework of...

Not if it's your bad save.

Ah, multiclassing, so that makes sense. It might not be best to use your character to judge these powers, though, since that makes your PC not as "optimal" in his primary role as he could be. Yup, that's how it works. It's bit difficult to figure out at first, especially since you have to...

Sure a prone character can flank.
