Message: <blockquote data-quote="RLBURNSIDE" data-source="post: 5357184" data-attributes="member: 94650">Martial Dailiesthat are stances do seem similar to the at-will stances of Essentials, although if essentials stances on say, the Scout, amount to substantially more damage than SCS or SWS on a ranger (level 5 daily), /divided over the course of the day, I will be pretty p'od and be looking to re-build as a Scout.A lot of people hate martial dailies (especially missing with them) but I think they can provide burst nova damage that is far more critical to defeating particularly tough monsters faster, than a marginally higher DPR over the course of the day. I could be wrong here, but how could an optimized nova bursting character be out-shined by someone who doesn't have multi-attack daily combos that benefit from PP action point features like Extra Damage Action of the PitFighter, for instance?I think it's more important to kill that god or terrasque one round earlier than every other thing all day 1/2 a round earlier, due to a marginally higher DPR from using at-will stances or auras rather than burst damage. Although the two combined in the same character could be really powerful. Can you take Eternal Seeker with an Essentials character that has no Dailies to swap out? If you didn't want dailies from other classes, but did want, say, an encounter from another class (e.g. Hurricane of Blades), I could see some Essentials builds giving regular builds a run for their money in the burst DPR department.</blockquote>
