[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 4901360, member: 71571"] Yeah, but is Mastery a great enough benefit to deny yourself other more accurate possibilities? I'm just saying that being at a penalty to attack for 20 levels just to break even at 21 isn't necessarily a compelling reason. A good optimized character build should get good after a minimum of levels. You should see a compelling case for it before paragon. And your 'offense' as a TacLord is: Tactical Presence. Passive. Initiative is irrelevant. Commander's Strike. Requires another player to go first. Initiative is counter-productive. Inspiring Word. Reactive. You're using this before the monsters? Initiative isn't -that- important for a Warlord. You want to go after the monsters for the most part. It's not often you want to go first. That first round isn't a lot of upside. Tieflings tho make up for their lack of strength with: Rebuke: More accuracy and damage. Bloodhunt: More accuracy and therefore damage. Fiery Weapon: More accuracy and damage. If the Taclord is an offensive leader, then isn't Moar Offense better? And yeah, Tieflings make better Resourceful Warlords than they do Tactical. But they make better Tactical than most other choices, of which Eladrin is included. [/QUOTE]
