[QUOTE="MwaO, post: 6792209, member: 12749"] Four issues for Perfect Eye: Daily Power. That's bad. You can use it for one perfect combat, not multiple combats. It is very likely to be a power that's wasted because the perfect combat doesn't happen. It happens at 22nd level. Again, bad. The higher the level of a power, the more redefining of every day it ought to be. It doesn't affect your teammates - if you're in a combat where a clock starts ticking once you start the combat, well, you need your teammates to step in too. At which point, you get into the weird focus fire problem of perma-stealth. Also, ignoring barriers(aka doors/walls) doesn't mean you ignore everything. Clouds of darkness, dark rooms, invisible creatures, creatures outside range in a big Epic-sized room, etc... That's a lot of questionable problems - I'm sure there's going to be a corner-case combat where it is invaluable, but given you get just one utility with Eternal Seeker, wouldn't you rather take Cloak of Courage(Cleric 16) or Borrowed Confidence(Swordmage 16) - those are both examples of powers that completely change the rules of every combat of the day as opposed to a power that might corner case change one combat per day.
