Basic Melee Attack:Quarterstaff, +4 vs. AC, 1d8 Basic Ranged Attack:Sun Strike, +9 vs REF, 1d8+8 Radiant, slides target COMMENTS:Looking at the Invoker gave me a big headache. I originally wanted to go with the Elf, or Dwarf, but it bugged me that I couldn't take advantage of the awesome variety of the at-wills.1. Either Sun Strike or Avenging Light is a must because it serves as a basic ranged attack, which can be improved with magic items. Avenging Light is inferior because it targets FORT, usually the strongest defense of most monsters, so I went with Sun Strike, also because I like sliding enemies into combat advantage positions for my melee friends.2. Vanguard's Lightning is a must because it's just great. It can help me too if I'm stuck in melee and need to get out. I attack my surroundings, and then run away. When they touch, lightning strikes.3. Divine Bolts is a must because it grants two attacks, which is very powerful, and you can even add the modifier to damage. Kind of like Twin Strike, but better?It's extremely painful to give up any of these attacks. That's why human is the superior choice, in addition to the Action Surge greatness.Amaunator / Angelic Echelon / Astral Terror / Action Surge Combo:1. Spend Action Point2. Attack close burst 3 with Astral Terror (+4 bonus from Action Surge)3. Push if needed/possible, but not more than 4 squares away4. use Staff of War Mage power on Angelic Echelon5. attack close burst 4 with Angelic Echelon, deal damage even on a miss6. Deal extra 1d10 damage with Power of Amanaunator to everyone in close burst 4.That's potentially 2d6+12+1d10 radiant damage in 80 squares in one turn. Undead, please come closer.Apropos Undead:1. Spend Action Point.2. Rebuke Undead in blast 5 with +4 attack bonus, daze them3. use Staff of War Mage power on Angelic Echelon4. move into position5. attack close burst 4 with Angelic Echelon, +2 because of CA from dazed, deal damage even on a miss6. Deal extra 1d10 damage with Power of Amanaunator to everyone in close burst 4.That's potentially 2d10+12+1d6 radiant damage, plus 10 or whatever vulnerability, in 25 squares in one turn.More Speculation:It's unknown what paragon paths and feats are going to be available for the Invoker, but for this build the cleric's Angelic Avenger PP would synergize very well:Angelic Action adds another +4 to attack rolls from Action Point, until the end of your next turn. The above mentioned combos become a nuke then. There is also another Radiant Burst power. For this to work best, the ability scores need to be redone so they allow Astral Fire to work... not easy.(The invoker is only in preview, level 1-3, and will be included in the PHB II.)<img src="http://www.templeton-cambridge.org/fellows/grossman/publications/2007.03.07/americans_get_an_f_in_religion/img/charlton_heston_plays_moses.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></blockquote>
