Maybe not an A+ because it doesn't scale so well, but for its level, it's fantastic. Healer's Lore makes clerics slightly better healers than Warlords. Beacon of Hope makes them way better healers than Warlords. Fighter:I would put Come Back Strike up a knotch or two. Healing surges are useful at every level, B+. Paladin:I'm good with that line up. Ranger:Jaws of the Wolf is a little better than the rest, but not that much better than the rest. It misses a good bit more than say Split the Tree. I'd put Split the Tree up a knotch. I've played an elf ranger with this power, and using stealth (or party help) for CA and elven accuracy, I could nail anything with this power. Rogue:I would up Blinding Barrage to an A-. I'd carry around a stack of Shurikens just for this attack. I want to point out it only targets enemies, so the blast 3 is very handy, and you'll be very glad you have this as a rogue if you're facing swarms. Warlock:We have some disagreements on this one. I put Armor of Agathis at the bottom of the pile, with the caveat, it's only useful for Warlocks who don't have other means of gaining temporary hit points. The warlock's job is to be the Striker, a daily power that does a little bit of damage is not very impressive. While not as reliable, all the 3dx damage powers are more appealing to me, since they takes targets down fast. I would rate Curse of the Dark Dream a B, because it's just about as good as Pin the Foe. I also like Flames of Phlegethos a bit better than Dread Star, because it does a lot more damage, and as a Warlock, I like damage, I'd give it a B-, or at worst a C+. Warlord:Bastion of Defense is the clear winner for me. It's another A power. I might overvalue temporary HP's but as a player, it just lets you take greater risks for greater gain when you have a nice buffer like that. Lead te attack is not an A+ for me. It's great against solos, but other than that, if everyone concentrates their attacks on one target, bonus plusses or not, that target is going down anyway. But because it's so good against a solo, I could understand keeping it an A-. Wizard:I would value Flaming Sphere above Sleep. The others are about the same. I don't think Acid Arrow is so bad, though when playing a wizard with both Acid Arrow and Sleep, I just about never memorized Acid Arrow. Good news, there are no D's or F's among daily powers. Bad news, there are a couple A's that can overshadow other powers. We will see more of this when we look at level 5 Dailies.</blockquote>
