If fighters had more class abilities that keyed off of a successful hit, Sure Strike would have no problem at all, but as it is the only fighter ability that keys off of a hit is Combat Superiority. So until a heavy blade fighter picks up HBO at the paragon tier, Sure Strike is either plainly better or plainly worse than Reaping Strike.There aren't nearly as many opportunities to make ranged basic attacks as their are melee base attacks, so I doubt it works as a fix for Careful Attack, but making Sure Strike count as a basic attack provides a good tactical trade-off for fighters, I think.</blockquote>
