[QUOTE="Tripgnosis, post: 4353180, member: 27760"] heh, I stopped reading ALL the replies halfway down the page cuz I'm adhd. Actually I'm not, i'm just full of coffee, anyway sorry if I repeat anyone... IMO furious smash is awesome, cuz , like someone else said, it gives a GREAT bonus to an ally.

You get your weapon bonus for attacking, but the defender doesn't get a bonus for his armour. This is rare as far as powers go. Also, I think Cleave has been a bit under-rated. It's a minion dispatcher for one thing, and it's even more fun with a reach weapon. The secondary target can't be at reach but the primary can be.
