Change to Brutal Strike: Making it more Brutal

[Nibelung]

I know about it, thing is the other fighter power is reliable, does a bit less damage, but also heals you. I think its generally better than Brute Strike.

That is called a trade-off. You give up damage to gain a bit of healing. That is (in theory) balanced.

The problem with Brute Strike is that Lasting Threat (MP) is basically Brute Strike with extra cherry on the top. This means any time you would choose Brute Strike as your daily, you would end up better if you picked up Lasting Threat with no downsides at all.

And if you have a decent hit value to the point that the Reliable keyword is not that useful for you (eg, you can wait until someone debuff the target's defenses, or you receive a buff to hit, or you are in position to flank), there is also two other 3[w] daily 1 attacks that give you a lot extra stuff on top of the amazing daily damage: Flanking Assault, and Harrier's Ploy.
