[QUOTE="MwaO, post: 6776822, member: 12749"] I'd note three things: Dimensional Vortex and Lightning Rush are both amazing powers. But when you can go invisible to your mark and have 3 shots of Lightning Rush(and have an actual aegis mark to toss around just in case), Dimensional Vortex's value is a bit less. I'd note that someone who is marked has an effect on them. A Staff of Aversion = +2 item bonus to all defenses against anyone you've marked. Which is roughly the benefit of a heavy shield+more. Leather+18 Int+Staff of Aversion+Elven Chain is a decent defense. Have a familiar capable of swapping items and you can shift items in and out as necessary. An Eladrin can choose to be proficient with a staff implement, even if a Swordmage|Battlemind MC Warlock. The only reason the build has a Sunblade is because my PC was a Knight of Myth Drannor, an Eladrin Swordmage, one who is entranced by the evil purple light of Caiphon, who is an Evermeet Warlock. Oh, and despite my intent to not actually wield a cold or radiant weapon, he happened to be a worshipper of Selune, meaning he had access to the best damage feat in the game in the form of Silvery Glow.
