Any weapon-using class essentially has a free at-will power. Meanwhile, an implement-dependent character has to spend one of his two at-wills to get a basic attack that he can use with his magic implement of choice. And that at-will typically sucks---magic missile and eldritch blast are mediocre-damage, no-effect garbage.  The intent seems to have been to put them on even keel with a longbow basic attack (something a ranger takes utterly for granted). A much better solution IMO would have been to give an implement-user a gratis basic attack. Either that, or make the basic attack pretty decent, not just try to make it on-par with a military weapon's average damage.</blockquote>
