While I've found that OAs are a very good source for Retribution (particularly since it sticks with you for next turn), as you go up in level it becomes more and more inconsistent, as the baddies both hit harder and tend to inflict annoying conditions on you during your run.2. You can't use that utility in the manner you listed; it's an Immediate Interrupt.  You cannot use an Interrupt during your own turn.  Obviously, you can wait until an enemy targets you and use the resistance that way during your own turn.FWIW, I enjoyed my Deva Retributive avenger through heroic levels, but retrained (LFR, so I could) to Unity instead in paragon.  +2 per ally is a lot easier to set up without unfunny surprises than a big Retribution bonus, and the ability to take a feat and grant +2 to every ally while adjacent is huge.Also, re @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/members/wlmartin.html" target="_blank">wlmartin</a> "At Will : Focused Fury :  If you are targeting your OoE target with this power, you can push a different enemy 2 squares" is a trap.  You should pretty much never take this power; it lets you push the different enemy after you've lost your bonus.  It does let you use wisdom with a ranged weapon, so there's -some- point to it as a utility choice to give you a ranged option, but it's mostly dire.Avengers should pretty much always take a ranged power (Int should take Bond of Censure, as it's crazy good between a huge pull and the ability to roll twice; others can take Radiant Vengence, as the temps are always useful, but Avenging Shackles might be good in parties where it being a RBA is important; you can get a double roll out of it with a feat if you want, too).  And for your main power, Overwhelming Strike is the clear winner even if you aren't Power of Skill, but there are a -few- other options.</blockquote>
