[QUOTE="Saeviomagy, post: 4851283, member: 5890"] Probably not, but that's not a terrible thing. Do you want to know why? Because fighters are defenders, not strikers. Even without using hammers and chainmail, a BRV fighter compares very favourably (if not being outright more effective than) a weapon talent fighter. All in all, I like the changes. I think they move in the right direction, and help with things. I think we'll find that rain of blows is [i]still[/i] one of the more potent powers in the fighter arsenal, primarily because when you use it, you get triple static bonuses, of which strength may only be a small portion. I personally think that BRV fighters are still slightly better than all the other defenders. At least they're not totally invincible and top-notch strikers at the same time, and they don't force the DM to use whacky tactics every round like ignoring the BRV fighter with melee and only attacking him from range, or varying the order in which foes attack him. The dual strike change is brilliant. Whomever decided on that one needs to be congratulated, because they totally nailed it. It's gone from being a power who's sole purpose was to take over the striker role, and is now a very effective defender-style power. RROT is still among the more powerful of the divine channeling feats, but it's not crazy insane like it used to be. [/QUOTE]
