[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 8998005, member: 5889"] I will disagree myself. Looking at Devoted Assault, if you follow the maneuever step by step, there is no reason that each time you got a crit that you couldn't activate a maneuver that immediate gave you your attack actions worth of actions, as that is literally how those maneuvers work. Now comparing it to Perfect Assault, a few things to consider: [LIST] [*]Perfect Assault just works, meanwhile Devoted Assault requires crits to get all the extra benefit. That is not to be underestimated, anytime a character can do a thing with no restrictions, its always very good. [*]Perfect Assault drains your exertion, while using it all of that manuever exertion is "free". This means you can be down to 3 points of exertion, but use like 12 exertion of maneuvers if you go crazy. [*]Perfect Assault can attack multiple creatures, Devoted Assault cannot. So if you go nuts and rip through someone on a high crit, well sorry bud you can't switch targets. [/LIST] So in comparison, I do think Perfect Assault and Devoted Assault are reasonably balanced against each other for the rank difference. Having players with rank 3 maneuvers in my game, I can say the stuff you start to be able to do is pretty nuts, so I would expect Rank 4 to get each crazier. [/QUOTE]
