[QUOTE="MwaO, post: 6723443, member: 12749"] This is an offshoot of one of my hybrid builds for my Hybrid Compendium. Basically, it does one trick extraordinarily well at level 13th and should be putting itself into top-tier controller builds just on that basis. Namely: On an Action Point, it grants the party +Int to attack rolls against those targets until Start of Next Turn. At 11th, this is +5 to hit to hit against whoever was targeted by the Action Point attack. This also works for the Wizard|Invoker 13th level, it gains Seal of the Heretic. Because the Invoker choice is Wrath, it is -5 to all saves until End of Next Turn on a hit. As we're generally spending an Action Point, odds are we're not missing. This is then followed up by an attack that does heavy control with a Save Ends. Stun, Dominate, etc...the people hit on this basis alone are not happy. But this means really good things for the party - everyone in the party can target those people with their save ends attacks and get +Int to hit and have their targets have -5 to saves. Finally, Orb of Heightened Imposition means that we can spend the Orb of Imposition power on any encounter power, not just wizard. So the next round, we can extend that -5 penalty to saves. This trick only works for the hybrid - the Wizard can't get Wrath, the Invoker can't get Orb of Imposition, and PMC'ing loses Flame of Hope.
