[QUOTE="WalterKovacs, post: 5125007, member: 63763"] Well, 3 at-wills is more than most have. Spending the full power points, you'd be able to use all 3 as encounter powers ... giving you the same number of encounter powers as most have. You also have the ability to use them at 'half power' and get twice as many "encounter powers", the half-powers often being a variation that is useful in only some situations. The big expansion of option comes in the form of: (a) If one of the augmented powers is clearly the best (in this situation) you can use that one over and over again (b) You aren't wasting an encounter power on something that will only come up once in a while, because the full augment should be usable every encounter (as should the at-will), but when the half-augment comes up, it may be better in that particular situation than the full augment, and you'll be able to use it more often. On top of that, if you keep the lower level at-wills into higher levels, you still gain more power points but the cost doesn't increase. So you may rather have low level at-wills that you can augment more often. Most classes don't have the option of giving up your high level encounter powers for multiple uses of a lower level encounter power. [/QUOTE]
