[QUOTE="WalterKovacs, post: 5524058, member: 63763"] No ... but there are attack powers which don't rely on wisdom. There are daily melee power that auto hit (Inflict Wounds, Drain Life, Ravage). The first two do deal dice+wis mod damage, but don't require Wis to hit. The last one deals your bloodied value in damage, so is entirely Wis independent. For encounter powers, at 1, 13 and 27, you not only don't need wisdom, you don't need an implement. It auto hits, and doesn't use wisdom for its damage (it's the ones listed in my post three up from this one that gives combat advantage and extra damage to the next attack).
