Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fardiz" data-source="post: 6702480" data-attributes="member: 6761896">[h=1]Themes[/h]I made a note of every theme that mentions basic attacks because there are not that many. [sblock=Themes]Starting Power Chaosmade (Drag408) - A decent AP boost (which can be given 2/enc after level 10) but as far actually granting a basic attack, there is only a 1/6 chance of that happening. Starting Power Disgraced Noble (BoVD) - Similar to a Warlord power, you knock the target prone and then an ally can make an MBA against it. Not bad, but there are better enabling powers for most leaders. D5 Dune Trader (DSCS) - Again, similar to a Warlod power, you hit one target and two allies can make an MBA against differnt targets. Lots of attacks but no chance to focus fire. D5 Elemental Priest (DSCS) - A standard action that sets up the ability to grant MBAs as a minor action. Not bad at all.   Starting Power Guardian (Drag399) - A top quality theme power. One the easy trigger of an ally within 2 squares being hit, you get to take the attack and then make a basic attack against the enemy. Sweet.F10 Iron Wolf Warrior (Drag400) - Not a bad feature on top a pretty decent theme. You get to attack just before you get knocked down. Unfortunately the feature is badly worded but I would say that it is a reaction to the attack, so even if you kill the monster that hit you, you still go down.F10 Melee-Magthere Champion (CoS) - This features makes the starting power decent if not stellar (would be better as an interupt so the defence bonuses kick in for the attack). You effectively get a set of strikebacks. Starting Power Outlaw (Drag399) - Adding a daze when you hit with a basic attack with CA. Not bad at all. Starting Power Purple Dragon (Drag407) - There are some classes for which this is pretty much +1 to hit - at will stance for +1 to hit with MBAs, or various options. Not bad. E3, E13, E23 Sohei (Drag404) - The quintessential theme for strikers because of its minor action attack theme power. The powerswaps at the aforementioned levels are powers that allow you to charge and then use the minor action attack after charging. The E23 is especially nice as it is a multi-target charge. U2 Treasure Hunter (ItU: DSH) - Shift two after hitting with an MBA. Would be a decent option for chargers if there weren't much better themes out there.Starting Power Ironwrought (HotEC) - You have a top quality enabling power that requires you to hit? How does rolling to hit twice once per encounter sound? This is especially useful for Warlords wanting to land Death from Two Sides or Hail of Steel. [/sblock][h=1]Epic Destinies[/h][sblock=Epic Destinies] U26Dispossessed Champion [/sblock][sblock=Epic Destinies] (EPG) - A minor attack to set off a stance to give a decent chunk of resist to allies near you and you get a minor action Direct the Strike for the rest of the encounter. A nice ED for Artificers. F21 Invincible Vanguard [Any Martial Class] (MP2) - Making your basic attacks on the charge invigorating is meh (especially because it doesn't include powers that can be used in place of MBAs), however the ability to use powers after a charge is awesome. It means that you charge into something and then unload two minor action attacks into it in the same turn.F24 Invincible Vanguard [Any Martial Class] (MP2) - Not the best res feature but it's a free charge once per day.U26 Invincible Vanguard [Any Martial Class] (MP2) - The bonus to speed is rarely needed but extra damage on a crit never hurts (except the target of the attack of course).F30 Invincible Vanguard [Any Martial Class] (MP2) - You can finally get rid of that neck-slot you've worn for 28 levels! Also generates you a load of free-action charges, shame about the free-action attack nerf.F21 Star-Favored Champion [Any Martial Class] (MP2) - Never optimise to miss, especially at epic.F30 Martial Archetype [Any Martial class, Paragon Multiclassing in a Martial Class] (MP) - You will have picked multitaps form a martial class and if your base class is avenger (who are the only one who have a reason to PMC ranger) then you will crit enough to explode against all enemies adjacent to you. But then again you only want one person adjacent to you so this might not be as good as it first appears.U26 Mythic Spirit [Any Primal Class] (PP) - Saves an allies from being knocked to 0 once per day, giving them a decent heal a free basic attack. Serviceable. F24 Sovereign Beast [Druid, Wild Shape Power] (PP) - You can charge with a druid encounter power once per encounter and knock the target prone. Not that great, as there aren't many druid double-taps.F21 Legendary Sovereign [Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, or Warlord] (MP2) - A great feature, an enlarged Hale of Steel whenever you crit.U26 Legendary Sovereign [Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, or Warlord] (MP2) - A big chunk of temps but the power bonus will not be that useful because most people don't use basic attacks or at-wills that much at epic.F30 Grandmaster of Flowers [Monk] (PsP) - You can fly when you charge. Meh. There are much better charging EDs.F24 Raven Knight [Must Worship the Raven Queen] (Drag380) - Insubstantial and phasing when you charge. If you charge every turn, you take half damage all the time, which is pretty sweet.[/sblock]</blockquote>
