[QUOTE="Mengu, post: 4327814, member: 65726"] Not really. They still do the same exact thing, increase expected damage. One or the other is always mathematically better. Actually, Twin Strike is just about always better once you start getting weapon and feat bonuses. What I was trying to do is create variety. An at-will power needs to do something different (like nimble strike) to be more interesting. Having two options that merely give you different plusses to do damage is not a tactical choice, it's a mathematical choice. The other realization I came to, is that by design, they made Twin Strike a strong at-will power. They expect this will be the primary way the ranger will be playing his striker role. So instead of competing against it for expected damage, a Careful Attack alternative needs to provide some other kind of tactical option, one that can be combined with other abilities to gain a more unique advantage.
