Message: <blockquote data-quote="Neonchameleon" data-source="post: 5785458" data-attributes="member: 87792">What do you mean "No custom items available"? The obvious item you are missing is Iron Armbands of Power - a static damage add (+4 at paragon) with Gauntlets of Blood also helping.  Ideally for an Avenger you'd trade in your flaming weapon for a jagged one (crits on a 19-20 really help when you roll twice).  Or if you want a flaming sword, take the rare one from Mordaniken's Magnificent Emporium (I forget its name).  Feats: Power of Skill would give you an At Will charge attack.  And a MBA for anyone who tried to escape (see below for why this is important).  There's also a specalist avenger feat that gives you bonus necrotic and radiant damage equal to your wis modifier - but this may be Dragon. There's two pretty big damage adds you haven't added in.   The first is that you should be able to mangle the enemy artillery or controllers with your mobility.  Artillery tends to have brute level AC and low hit points.  But that's not all.  Artillery in melee does 25% below baseline damage, whereas artillery at range does 25% above baseline damage.  Which means they can either lose 40% of their damage output (and normally their riders) or they can try and get away (and trigger your censure) - lose/lose.  A melee rogue will be very exposed against backliners, whereas a ranged one can't target them through the frontliners. Your second is the difference in dpr between encounter powers.  A [3W] encounter power for a rogue does 3d6 damage.  A [3W] encounter power for you does 3d12 damage; the rogues don't generally do much more damage on encounter powers than on at wills. That said, avengers are known to be slightly weak strikers.  (And rangers are incredibly strong ones).</blockquote>
