It's a fairly limited striker feature (no repeat customers)--a feat tax of a type that nearly every class gets in paragon in some form.Re the nature of avengers vs other strikers...they're a little more durable than rogues, but not by much (equivalent AC, can bump it higher with feats). They're more durable than rangers -- but rangers Do More Damage.Moreover, rogues have a huge advantage relative to avengers -- they can get their striker feature and a full set of powers at range.  Moreover, they're about as accurate as Avengers are (no, they don't roll twice -- but they have weapon attacks against reflex, +1 to hit, -and- are usually attacking with combat advantage; if the "average" avenger has a 75% chance to hit hitting on an 11, the "average" melee rogue is hitting on a 5 (+2 for CA, +1 for dagger, +3 for attacking reflex) and getitng the same 75% chance to hit with more damage.  And that's without most attacks doing damage -and- inflicting conditions, the much easier access to Stealth, etc.Now, Barbarians you might have a case--except that Whirling Barbarians are just as durable as Avengers -- and I think most other Barbs are a bit underpowered (but at least with the right equipment can become giant balls of spiky death).</blockquote>
