[QUOTE="Imban, post: 4891852, member: 29206"] Huh. Given your math I came to the conclusion that in most fights - i.e. ones where you're not expecting it to turn into an absolute slogfest - you should probably use it every other round. To put it in perspective, you're dealing an average +1.05 damage/round for the entire fight if you use it every other round as opposed to every round. From every other round to every third round, you're only gaining +.35 damage/round. From every third round to every fourth round, you're gaining +.175 damage/round. +1 damage/round is approximately equal to some feats that people actually take, but the possible missed opportunities of using it and such far outweigh the amount I care about less than half a point of damage per round. (I mean, if you're just going to be flailing at the same guy with at-wills for 40 more rounds, or you need to make an enemy spend as little time in Bloodied as possible, things change, but...)
