In fact, it's often one At Will over and over and over again and the second At Will in some circumstances. zzzzzzzzzzzzzSchizophrenic?Have you actually played a Laser Ranged Cleric? I have. If the cleric has zero melee powers and gets surrounded, he can be in serious trouble. Sure, he can do MBAs, but that won't typically get him out of being surrounded. There is exactly one Encounter Close Blast damage power that will not result in an Opportunity Attack for a ranged cleric before level 13.You seem to be focusing on taking the optimal mix. Who cares if one takes the optimal mix? Regardless of mix, at low level that PC quickly runs out of Encounter powers and is still stuck with the same two boring old At Wills. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzAnd, if I have two melee and two ranged Encounter powers, I can guarantee that my Cleric will use all four before the end of an encounter most of the time, your schizophrenic claims not withstanding.No sorry. It's not boring for YOU to use Sacred Flame for the third time in a row. For me, it agonizingly boring. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzPlease don't assume that just because you follow the WotC mantra word for word that I enjoy doing so.Note: My wife uses Twin Strike all of the time (probably 8 rounds out of 10) and never gets bored doing so. She just gets frustrated because she runs into cold streaks where she will miss with it 3 or 4 rounds in a row. I would go nuts just using Twin Strike (which most Rangers do a significant majority of the time because many of the Encounter powers are interrupts).No. It's about killing the dragon in a fun and interesting way instead of killing it in nearly the same to how the last dragon (or any other creature) was killed.</blockquote>
