[QUOTE="Doctor Proctor, post: 5141512, member: 78547"] Like I said, it's iffy. Perhaps I should clarify though, as my original comment might have been a little non-specific: by "iffy", I mean "you need to ask your DM". Some DM's don't like the kind of cheese that comes out of things like that, and ban it. Some DM's are fine with it. It just depends. Personally though, I would forget about Footwork Lure and stick with Tide of Iron and something else (Cleave, Brash Strike and Crushing Blow are all better than a second movement power IMO). Tide of Iron allows you to push the enemy backwards and advance the line, whereas Footwork Lure usually results in something resembling a pull (meaning: you're typically pulling the enemy [I]away [/I]from his allies and [I]towards[/I] your line, rather than advancing). Guardian Fighters are defensive by nature, and should therefore concentrate on moving the enemy back and taking more hits, rather than culling out enemies and separating them from allies...that's more of a striker thing to do. Which is why Avengers like doing that, and why Footwork Lure is usually better in the hands of a Greatweapon Fighter that can kill the enemy he just dragged back into his own lines. That's just my opinion though, the OP should make his decision based on whatever suits his play style the best. [/QUOTE]
