[QUOTE="Skallgrim, post: 5005037, member: 79271"] FIghters, in particular, might use a lot of basic attacks. This is for two reasons, largely: Fighters have two abilities that result in basic attacks, their opportunity attacks and their combat challenge attacks. Both of these class features are pretty good, and both can be boosted substantially by feat selection. Fighters will often be deliberately maneuvering into positions where they can use as many opportunity and combat challenge attacks as possible, and not all fighters use Heavy Blades (and HBO). A fighter has a wide variety of at will Exploits to choose from, and it is possible to select two at-will Exploits that don't cover the same ground as a basic strike. For example, you might play someone with Brash Strike and Wicked Strike. This fighter has an accurate attack (+2 to hit, grant combat advantage) and an inaccurate attack (-2 to hit) that both add CON to the damage done. Then the basic attack is another good third option, which does less damage, but doesn't make you vulnerable OR inaccurate. The same can be said for several other classes, I suspect. [/QUOTE]
