[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 4636077, member: 71571"] Swordmages only require two stats anyways, if you build them right. You have three options, Int/Str, Int/Con, and Int/someing else. Intellegent Blademaster allows Int/Str and Int/something else builds (Assault Swordmage) to use their Aegis well. An Int/Str will want it because even tho the bump isn't as large, they'll be using basic attacks so often it's a) easier on their calculations) and b) Even if the boost is +1/+1 it's worth it. Assaults are constantly charging as well, and so Intellegent Blademaster allows them to continue doing so after they've eaten up their encounter powers. But what Intellegent Blademaster does -not- do is reduce the importance of Strength in their build, for they still need it to fuel their powers. Int/Con doesn't care about BMAs or charges so they'll get less value in it over all. They might still -want- it, but that doesn't mean they'll find it as valuable. The feat takes less of a priority for them as they focus on other aspects of Defending. [/QUOTE]
