This has in all likelihood been covered before, but here it goes
Certain attack powers allow the character to use them "as a basic attack". For example, the final line in the description of the duid's at-will power Rending Strike reads: Special: This power can be used as a melee basic attack.
Does that qualify Savage Rend to be uses as a basic attack in any situation in which a basic attack could be used (like, say, as part of a charge)?
Also, does it gain any bonuses from various sources that normally apply to basic attacks (such as the damage bonus from the Bracers of Mighty Striking).
The problem here is that different powers that resemble basic attacks have different explanations. For example, Magic Missile clearly states that it "counts as a ranged basic attack".
Has there been any ruling on this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
