Nearly every At Will first level area Controller power is on par with it. The only issue for Scorching Burst is that it has no control. They could have fixed that by putting a very minor control aspect on it.Fort; each creature; Grasping Tide; 1d6+Wis; if creature leaves burst, hit to knock proneWill; each enemy; Call of the Beast; 5+Wis creature decides; no combat advantage and damage if attack otherFort; each creature; Chill Wind; 1d6; slide target 1 squareFort; each creature; wis; Grasping Shards; target slowedRefl: each creature; 1d6+Wis; Vanguard's Lightning; opportunity takes int damageFort; each enemy; Chilling Cloud; int; -2 to attack rollsRefl: each creature; 1d6+int; Scorching BurstWhen compared to Scorching Burst:Grasping Tide, less chance to hit, opponent has control over controlCall of the Beast, avoids allies, less chance to hit, slight protection, opponent controls damageChill Wind, less damage, very slight controlGrasping Shards, less damage, very slight controlVanguard's Lightning, potentially more damageChilling Cloud, avoids allies, less damage, slight protectionWith the exception of Vanguard's Lightning, all of these powers are basically on par with Scorching Burst and Vanguard's Lightning is only slightly better. If WotC boosts Scorching Burst to Winged Horde, they should also boost the rest of these powers.On the other hand, Winged Horde is better compared to all of these Controller powers:Will; each enemy; Winged Horde; 1d6+int; no opportunity attacksWinged Horde, best chance to hit, avoids allies, same damage, slight protection</blockquote>
