[QUOTE="DemonLord57, post: 4335659, member: 71260"] I disagree almost all counts. 1) Rangers are already the biggest damage dealers in 4e. They don't need any more help. 2) Well, I agree here. I think that there should be some reason for archers to pick the archery path, other than the ability to go into the paragon paths that require it. I think something distinctive, that you can't get elsewhere (not a feat), like the Prime Shot example you suggested. I'm not sure I like that particular idea, but something in that vein would be cool. 3) Greatswords have +3 proficiency bonus. This is good. Admittedly, I would never see myself using one, since the bastard sword is a one handed version of it, but still. In any case, the main reason 2 handed weapons have small increases in damage is because the damage you do with a weapon based power is dependent on your weapon's damage, so when you use a power that does 7[W], even one die of change can be quite significant. 4) Doomsayer's Proclamation is overpowered. All you have to do is wield a wand that has a fear effect on it, and suddenly [I]all[/I] of your (save ends) powers are affected. Have the wizard do so too, and he will worship you for that feature.
