Sorry, yes, I said it. It encourages going Nova through your daily powers, and it's not damaging enough to really be worth sacrificing more daily powers than otherwise. One idea we're tossing around is to key Rage Strike off sacrificing healing surges, instead.2) The at-wills are poorly designed. The extra damage on the at-will becomes EXTREMELY problematic when considering Paragon Multiclassing. Who doesn't want that extra fistful of d6s on every attack? In comparison, multiclassing with other Strikers only gives extra damage for one hit (Rogue), two rounds (Ranger) or nada (Warlock). We've been talking about ways to make the Barbarian have Striker damage like the existing Strikers as a class feature, possibly when charging or bloodied.3) Hurricane of Blades. What. The. Hell? That thing needs to be capped at three hits, tops, because as is it's a per-encounter post-errata infallible Blade Cascade on steroids. And before you bring up the Fighter's Rain of Blows, that needed to be chopped down a long time ago and two wrongs don't make a right.</blockquote>
