I'm pretty sure soldiers should be able to do something similar. Not to mention that enemy controllers et al will have immobilizing/slowing effects. The minute that the melee controller gets hit with one, he's out. Since he's moving all over the battle field, he's not going to have a defensive line to keep enemies off of him.Because of things like fighting at a distance? And controllers being made of glass? And, well, artillery/controllers? They may be behind a trap, behind some bars, above the ground on a balcony, 15 squares away, etc. According to the PrRC, you can't shift in difficult terrain unless you specifically have a power to do so. So in addition to relying on all the movement to get in, do his burst, and get out, now the power has to also be able to elt him move into terrain? It's bordering on some serious brokenness of how many things it needs just to operate. That is imho broken.</blockquote>
