[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 5593204, member: 87792"] Um... no. My Bravura Warlord's Brash Assault was doing scary damage. My wizard was convincing the DM to tear his hair out with either Storm Pillar or good use of Freezing Burst and tactical positioning (Freezing Burst + mountain paths having I think killed more bad guys in that campaign than every other power from every PC combined). Vicious Mockery and Guiding Strike both rocked from my Bard (as did Jinx Shot) - and Hand of Radiance is a damn good power even before taking Power of the Moon. I'd hardly call a first level Monk, slamming people to the ground and with whirlwind attacks sucking. Slayers and Knights can do their things pretty much without problems. Rangers are gleefully twin striking - and that's still ahead of the damage curve (but behind the rogue for a while). [I]It's just the Warlock[/I]. Everyone else has a decent At Will selection. The job of the Defender is to prevent other people being the targets of focus fire - a different thing entirely. Focus fire on the defender and he still goes down although not quite as quickly as you would. The problem is that Feylocks have nothing but situational at wills or weak at wills. This is as far as I'm aware a problem exclusive to Warlocks. Honestly, Spiteful Glamour is [I]terrible[/I] (and balanced by Darkspiral Aura being superb). And at Paragon, a single point of damage doesn't matter much compared to a control effect. But once again the problem is strongest at low levels - both when the At Wills matter most and when single points of damage matter most. [/QUOTE]
