Could you do me a favor and write down what powers you do use for your next 4 or 5 encounters?Obviously, you have a fairly fined tuned PC. Let's examine it:Situational powers (i.e. not really a choice unless the situation comes up):Earthshock (a Warlord is not a defender, so should not have multiple foes around him too often, I suspect that this power does not occur early in encounters and is not typically an option then)Second Wind (not used if not needed, almost never used early in an encounter)Inspiring Word (not only situational, but nearly must use in the situations where it is called for, fellow players might get upset if the player does NOT use these, so is it really much of an option?)True Options powers (i.e. can be used on almost any round):Scorching Burst (borderline, used a feat to get an extra power, but it is often saved for getting multiple foes)Warlord's FavorFollow Me In (borderline, there are lots of times where the Warlord would not necessarily want to use this power like when there are no PCs that need a speed boost or are in a good point in the encounter to charge)Knight's MoveThe point is that you have seven encounter powers. But, how many Standard Action Encounter attacks do you have? 4. If the encounter goes beyond 4 rounds, you are more or less (unless you do a lot of Charges or something) forced to rely on using your At Will powers or using Daily powers.So, the interesting question becomes: In a 5 encounter day, how many standard actions are At Wills, Encounters, Dailies, or some other At Will (like a Charge MBA) for your PC?</blockquote>
