[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 4383973, member: 5834"] [b]re[/b] I was doing some more thinking on this. That enfeebling strike works for all attacks. Special attacks, AoE attacks, at will attacks, and every type of attack the creature can do whether it is an str, dex, or cha attack. It really depends on your defenses. There are certain defensive builds that would make enfeebling strike a pretty big asset. Wheras the extra damage from Holy Strike does become a much smaller percentage of hit points as you rise. Enfeebling Strike always provides the -2 which scales pretty well considering that most creatures have pretty tame to hits and for a defensive build character, you can get pretty strong defenses across the board. I was doing one build where I my armor class reached 49 with pretty good all around defenses. That damage bonus only functions once per round on a marked creature. There really isn't anyway stack up on Wisdom to do much more damage. But Enfeebling Strike can be stacked onto other abilities that cause a hit penalty thereby acting with more synergy in a group situation. I noticed that damage even from high level creatures is pretty tame. I'm thinking of taking Valiant Strike and Enfeebling Strike. Even though I won't focus on strength, you get enough minions around and you Valiant Strike becomes pretty powerful. I'm going to have to think about this some more. Given the way the monsters and NPCs have multiple different types of attacks and all the different feat builds and stackable powers that can affect defenses and attack rolls, the -2 penalty for enfeebling strike seems like it might be the better choice for a long-term power. Though Bolstering Strike isn't the greatest for a group fight, it does add some durability. So I might keep that. Choices, choices. [/QUOTE]
