Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mistwell" data-source="post: 4375910" data-attributes="member: 2525">Agreed so far.[quoite]Here, you have...winner: ...Breath Weapon...basically a trade UP of a Minor Action to a move or Standard Action once per encounter...Elven Accuracy... give(s) you the ability to do an action better, but plenty of feats, conditions and tactics do that.  In combat, do you want to...blast things?  There's your best combat racial power.</blockquote>I gotta disagree on claiming breath weapon is superior to elven accuracy on the basis that one is an upgrade and the other is a repeat of feats and conditions.Dragon breath is far more of a repeat of dozens of attack powers (and is sometimes suboptimal to those other choices).  Sure, it's a minor action, but it's also a relatively small amount of additional damage which is fairly easily replicated by a power that simply does more damage.  It's not a bad power, it's just not amazingly unique in what it does for combat.Elven accuracy on the other hand is a very rare ability, replicated by very few powers, and usually only on a daily basis and not an encounter basis.  It will likely be used to increase the probability of your daily powers hitting by 50%.  That is a HUGE benefit, and just cannot be shrugged off as a common ability found elsewhere.Sorry, I just don't see how you can claim dragon breath is superior to elven accuracy on a "other things can do that too" basis.[/QUOTE]
