[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 4933595, member: 82504"] yup throwing minons in to battle pictures shakes up conventional wisdom about the value of damage doesn't it? Except if it goes wasted because there are not enough foes to spread it between it explicitly does get wasted. I like the situational differences between powers... these are only subtly different but... over the course of the battle eventually focus fire... gains. Take down 3 opponents in 3 rounds --- versus ---- take down 1 in 1 round then a second in the second round and a third in the third round. The party is better defended by the second option... but with minions in the picture... it becomes take down 3 in round 1. At times the number of minions in game really has some tactical impact on the value of things... sure strike considered amongst the least of at wills in the game doesn't look so bad when "here there be minions". It sure makes sense not to clump them on the scene or send them in as reinforcement waves - so they can have there impact. [/QUOTE]
