You HAVE TO decide every round whether or not to change stances. Claiming that you can ignore this decision point is the same as ignoring the power declaration phase. "I guess, you just attack with what you used last round." works just as well with at-wills as it does with stances. Now that you actually hit...New Decision Point! PS or not to PS, that is the question!2. You're increasing the number of options over most of those decision points.On top of everything else that minor actions can do, now you add to that pool. Yes, you have no option past who to attack with your attacks actions, but the powers that reduce that level of choice arent restricted to the e-classes and choosing between PS1, PS3 or PS7 is just as easy. Then you get to move action powers...3. You're drastically overestimating the number of options an AEDU class has. Most AEDU class dailys arent considered every round or even every combat, most encounter powers are used high to low. Yes, you can make decisions during charcreation to make those complex decisions. If you do, then you cant complain that the character is hard to play.Actually, no they couldnt. Thats why the higher level Psionic at-wills cost more PP to augment. Again, poor power design crashed this system not a failure of the underlying system.Looking at the Slayer specifically, its got ridiculously powerful encounters compared to what a standard FTR could field and other than a few gold level powers in the list, those encounters are better than the 4e class can throw out as Dailys, especially if they keep throwing out boosting feats. What would be a decent feat for a AEDU class is amped by being able to apply multiple times to the e-class.Healer Druids? What healer druids? Just because the class had CLW didnt make it a healer. Now if you had said Summoner Druid, I could by that. Even then, the class was always a spellcaster. Where did the weapon come from?</blockquote>
