But the focus fire philosophy indicates that this is what should be done to improve the action economy the fastest. And while that is true, it rarely happens in a game.Instead, one might have a Striker and Defender attacking one foe and another Defender and a Leader attacking a second foe. These two mini-battles might be 15 feet apart from each other. In this scenario which will be more common than 5 against 1, the Controller could use a different At Will to focus fire on one foe or the other, or he could use Hand of Radiance to effectively get 3 attacks against the 2 foes, and another attack against a 3rd foe. Using Hand of Radiance, he is still doing focus fire. Not quite as powerful, but still 3 attacks in a round against 2 foes instead of 2 attacks against one and 3 against another.</blockquote>
