I think I've used Evasive Footwork once or twice to get in or out of position. Looking at the other maneuvers, I think most of them are usable, though some are pretty situational. I can definitely see building a PC around Commander's Strike, Rally, and/or Maneuvering Attack. Still, you will pretty much do the same stuff every round. I note that this is fairly true of our barbarian and paladin as well. They have a couple options most rounds, but each round is quite similar really.It was definitely different playing a wizard! There were certainly a good number of times when "fire a cantrip" was the obvious choice, but there were always a wide variety of options, and most rounds were different. 4e fighters are a lot more like that, IME.</blockquote>
