I think one of the things that we realized was how precious any bonus to hit is. Each hit is worth more in 4e than it is in 3e, and a miss is quite a wasted opportunity.For example, take the Fighter's Cleave power. When facing off mooks, this is great as you can kill multiple minion type enemies very quickly while you face off against the more powerful monster with them. In a situation like this, there's a large difference between hitting and missing - more than I saw coming.Flanking is a +2 to hit. That is very nice, and you take it everywhere you can get it. I think its even worth it for the ranger to provide, at least at first level. It's not like the ranger is that weak defense-wise. It's not a tactic I would use often, perhaps, but there were a limited number of characters joining melee with these pregens.I did notice a fair bit of cackling glee coming from the wizard player.</blockquote>
