[QUOTE="Otterscrubber, post: 4378932, member: 4588"] Replies listed below, thanks for the input :) : 1) Reliable is overrated. It's the ultimate feel-good keyword. Half-damage misses are better. - I can see a point on this, but its nice as at least you get to use it again in the hopes of not only doing damage but also getting any special benefit that the daily might activate only on a hit. 2) Immediate action counterattacks = teh awesome. - Can't argue with that, I do like a lot of the ranger utilities. 3) Armor Splinter. - Meh, I'm not a big fan of debuffs that only last one round. It's one of my gripes with 4e in general. Plus this isn't that great if you are trying to have a high Str and a high Dex, which is usually the case for a melee ranger. Wis will not be that great unless you wish to sacrifice attack/damage or your AC for the side benefits of some powers. Frankly haven't seen to many that make that worthwhile. It would take a lot for my striker to lose some of his strikeriness for some controlling/debuff ability. 4) Tiger's Reflex. - This is plain awesome, again, I do love the utilities, its' mostly the encounter/dailies I find lacking. 5) Follow-up Blow. This does rock as well, at level 29 :) 6) Cruel Cage of Steel. -This is nice, get a bonus to hit, and can still shift even if you miss. Solid damage as well. Melee rangers look just fine to me.
