[QUOTE="sfedi, post: 5000234, member: 15746"] You're right. I was using my houserule of +1 per level. Oh, and I left the "100 surges" from a previous simulation.

Note that Reaping Strike deals less damage. I've implemented Comeback Strike but didn't modify the AI because it seems the current AI covers this. The AI chooses the more damaging power that is Encounter or more frequent. When it becomes Bloodied, then it chooses de more damaging power that is Daily or more frequent. So it seems this should work fine. You can check the code posted in previous posts. The only problem with this AI is that Comeback Strike has the same average damage as the encounter power, so it may happen that the Dwarf becomes bloodied, he hasn't used his encounter power yet (because he missed all attacks), and then ComebackStrike and Steel Serpent Strike are equal choices. Here's the same simulation as before (in this same post) but with the more defensive build: [sblock] [b]Level 1 Dwarf Defensive Fighter VS.
