[QUOTE="Mengu, post: 4930959, member: 65726"] There are a handful I like. They are mostly specific cases for classes that don't have very good utility powers to begin with, or groups that are in desperate need of support for a certain role that's not covered by anyone. For instance, for my Thaneborn Barbarian, at 6th level, I intend to pick up Guided Shot unless Primal Power presents me with something better. Another one I have my eye on is Agile Recovery, since I have (and like) Boots of Adept Charging, Acrobat Boots aren't an option, and this is a perfect replacement. For my Inspiring Warlord, I have so many great utility power options to choose from my class, that I'm not even going to consider a skill power, even though I have more skills trained than your average warlord. In a group where there is no leader, powers like Invigorating Presence and Swift Recovery are pretty fantastic. Between these and a multiclass feat, the "healing" role can easily be covered. And powers like Guided Shot and Snap out of it can take on other aspects of the leader role. In a party without a leader, a barbarian or warlord could pick up warden multiclass and Ominous Threat for a couple rounds of marking. However there are a handful of these powers that make me scratch my head and wonder why they are polluting the power pool. [/QUOTE]
