So is Bastard Sword for Rangers, especially if you're building yourself as a charger. You're giving up a hand or a feat, at least get reach for your trouble.Warlord & Ranger — the reason they're using those powers is that they're out of position for their primary choices for some reason. Even if they have available bloodied targets, they're probably not actually using those powers anyway. Warlord should either be granting attacks or bonuses to damage/hit to their striker friends to finish the bloodied targets off. The Ranger should be doing Twin Strike.Fighter with Footwork Lure is using an Alhulak, because they can prone targets with it with Flail Expertise. Or a polearm/spear for Polearm Momentum.In every case, this is not particularly ideal use of a power.And that's before using weapons that are bad. Use a longsword, glaive, fullblade or drow long blade and 90% of the time, one of those 4 choices is better than any of the 3 heavy blades listed in this feat. And that's before considering non-heavy blades such as Rapier+Swift Blade Style for Str/Dex Rangers, reach weapons for Warlords for Commander's Strike or the already mentioned Alhulak for Fighter doing Footwork Lure.So you're a Warlord getting opportunity attacks for unexpected reasons. Because they can just punch you which is usually an extremely good move. So after spending 2 feats and taking generally bad powers, you have a corner case for where this is useful. That's Purple.</blockquote>
