New Warlord and Warlock encounter powers from minis preview

[Lacyon]

Not really. It basically gives you two attacks in a round, and with the "Economy of action" in 4e, that's pretty good. Use it when a foe is on its last legs, knocking it out of the fight before a healer can do anything about it.

Not only that, assuming both attacks hit, it does 1*[Your W] + [Your STR] + 1*[Ally W] + [Ally STR] - that should approach 2*W + 2*STR - it does more damage than the average encounter power I've seen, even without a striker's damage boost on top of it.

Making it at-will would be too powerful, and I don't think there's a "twice per encounter" mechanic in the game. Is there?

See Healing Words.

Ohhhh.....too slow, Lizard. Eleran already showed me the error of my ways.

As for the "twice per encounter" mechanic, I believe it does exist, as the cleric's Healing Word is usable twice per encounter.

Edit: Curse you Lacyon! Now it is I who has been ninja'd.

Awesome. I missed that it was specified to be 1st. I was only guessing at the level 11 because the mini is level 11 and it only had a couple of powers. Level 1 attack power seems right when compared to the other level 1 warlord encounter powers.
