[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 5361818, member: 71571"] Repeat after me: Basic attacks are not that important. The ONLY role that needs a strong opportunity attack is a defender. Some melee attackers (I'M LOOKING AT YOU AVENGER) don't care about OA power, because they're ok with enemies running away with them. And classes that are meant to be good at charging generally have a lot more going for them than melee training to make charging worth while... they tend to have powers that are way better than MBAs that they stick on the end of charging. So if you came to me and said that Paladins, Swordmages, or Battleminds need the availability of a decent opportunity attack, I would agree. That's their job. If you come to me claiming rogues, avengers, or monks need them, I'd say you're crazy, they're doing other things that boost their damage output, or in the case of Avengers, actively encourage enemies to try to escape.
