[QUOTE="Matthra, post: 4348216, member: 67903"] The only thing you don't add to it is ability bonus, this means weapon enhancement, feat based damage enhancement, and buffs provided from other players still apply. Doing d10s with no other bonuses you would need an ability of +5 to get the same median damage assuming a hit. The only other ranger at will you can compare it to is careful strike (+2 to hit, 1[W] + ability damage), since the others are movement based utility powers. With 19+ required to hit careful strike has a better chance of doing damage (by 1%) than twin strike, at 18 and lower required to hit twin strike has a better chance of landing at least one blow on the target. Twin strike is also versatile, it works as well against the big baddie as it does a horde of minions, where as careful strike is more aimed at mobs with very high AC.
