[QUOTE="Chzbro, post: 5150875, member: 83964"] My apologies if this has been discussed before, but I recently noticed that, unlike those for every other class, the at-will powers for psionic classes with augmentable powers do not scale in damage at epic levels of play. In other words, while the at-wills for most classes do double [W] or die damage at epic play, psionic at-wills do not scale in this way. At first I assumed that this was because you continue to replace your old at-wills with new, higher level ones as you advance. The extra damage will be built into the high level powers. But it isn't. Even the level 23 and 27 at-wills still do 1[W] damage rather than 2[W] -- unlike any other class. Now while it's true that those powers are augmentable, it typically requires 2 power points to boost the damage of even the high level at-wills to the 2[W] standard of the other classes. That means that while everyone else is doing that damage "at-will", psionic classes can do it at a maximum of 7 times a day. And that assumes they don't want to use their power points for anything bigger...ever. My suspicion is that this is an oversight by the designers and that the higher level at-wills should deal more damage un-augmented, but that's just a suspicion. Am I missing something? [/QUOTE]
