[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5793895, member: 35909"] Dodge/Mobility/Spring Attack is nearly as feat intensive. :) And it's not so great, especially for a tank that wants to do a lot of damage. Presumably your allies want you to stay on an enemy, and you'll do more damage full attacking anyway. I'd look more into something like the Step Up feat and maybe the APG feats that require it. There's also the Combat Patrol feat, if you wanted to use Combat Reflexes. I would not get Superstition as your one rage power if the selection was just for what is "best." First of all, keep in mind when confused, you don't get your rage power. Secondly...superstition as just a +2 bonus won't help you that much but WILL require you to save against any ally trying to provide helpful/healing spells. Like I said, if you do Superstition, go with it all the way for maximum possible bonus. The drawback sucks no matter what, and it hardly seems worth the pain if your bonus isn't even going to be that high. I'm not sure what the best one-off rage power is, especially since much of your time in rage you won't be using it. Reckless Abandon is probably a good choice. *scans rage power list* Or do one of these: Animal Fury: Weak bite attack to add to your full attack Lesser Fiend Totem: Gore attack to add to your full attack, better than animal fury Knockdown: Trip w/o provoking once/rage No Escape: Double move as an immediate once/rage to pursue someone who withdraws So yeah, one of those I'd say. I'd do Lesser Fiend Totem, I think. Odd that your demonic ram horns [i]retract[/i] when your berserker fury drives you mad, but...eh (does give the party a handy visual cue to know the difference between "angry but in control" and "ANGRY"). Oh, also if it's not too late, you may want to lower your charisma more. Higher cha means a tougher will save. ;) [/QUOTE]
