[QUOTE="Elric, post: 5030941, member: 1139"] Small mistake: the spreadsheet is double-counting the maxed damage on Hunter's Quarry from two criticals with Twin Strike. If you get two critical hits, you only max Hunter's Quarry once. Adding the feat True Arrow Style ([url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-4th-edition-rules/250094-re-examining-sure-strike-careful-attack.html[/url]), Careful Strike becomes superior to Twin Strike for the majority of ACs under the default settings. This involves spending a feat on Careful Strike and using the ability grants Combat Advantage, but it could still be a strong option. Edit: If I assume that the opportunity cost of True Arrow Style is a feat that gives +1 to damage on each attack of Twin Strike, True Arrow Style + Careful Strike still comes out ahead against Twin Strike when you need a 9+ to hit AC (with Twin Strike). Of course, Weapon Focus applies to your other powers as well; doing a full comparison over an encounter basis would be much more involved. Lethal Hunter applies to other powers as well, but isn't as good as Weapon Focus when applied to multiattack powers, including Twin Strike (since you're only going to get the bonus damage once, and the effect on criticals is too minor to balance this out over most of the AC range).
