[QUOTE="igniz13, post: 5350430, member: 90483"] Probably won't have time to post a full response... basically, you're wrong. There is a requisite amount of output for each battle which is balanced against the output of the enemy. As long as a non Daily user can put out that base output, they're fine. Also, the better the base output, the less other resources (like healing surges) are used, allowing the party to function for longer. Daily powers can miss, be unuseful in an encounter or even be overkill, it is possible to get through a day and never need or use a Daily attack power, at which point the advantage of having one isn't necessary. There's also some other considerations. The non daily users have encounters which work on a hit, therefore their encounter output is also above the average daily user output who's encounters can fail to no effect. The number of non-daily users in a party may not be significant. The classes which lack Daily powers are classes which often only had straight forward dailies, there were no Fighter CB20 Stuns or such. TLDR: You're wrong. [/QUOTE]
