[QUOTE="D'karr, post: 5714747, member: 336"] I'm a DM and I like to challenge my players with tough combats. I always felt that Basic Attacks in pre-essentials characters were really a "wasted" resource. It would have been nice if they were more interesting, specially at lower levels when at times you were down to at-will powers and variety would have been nice. Essentials moved in a "better" direction with Basic Attacks. Since their basic attacks are "better", this is the way I'd like for all classes to work. One of my main "beefs" with martial classes is the minor action. It seems like there are very few things to do with a minor action except attack. It would be nice if martial characters had options (riders) with minor actions that triggered with Basic Attacks. Just as a very general example. Combat should have interesting options, and for pre-essentials the basic attack option just didn't feel like much of an option at all. [/QUOTE]
