[QUOTE="Torchlyte, post: 4367366, member: 64272"] This combo is achievable at the 10th level. Take an elven rogue, max your dexterity, and multiclass into cleric for the daily power Blade Barrier. You will also need the level 1 rogue daily power Trick Strike. Use Trick Strike, rerolling with elven accuracy if necessary. Pop an action point and create a Blade Barrier on top of an opponent, and you're done. On their turn they will be automatically sliced by the Blade Barrier and you can slide them into another section of the blade barrier, damaging and sliding them back and forth until they die. This is obviously overpowered, but there is a question as to its legality. Trick Strike allows you to slide someone you hit, but Blade Barrier's damage is automatic... does it count as a hit? Likewise, if I were to use Cleave, would you count the secondary damage as a hit? Whether or not this combo works by RAW, I'm intrigued by the combination of Blade Barrier and an Artful Dodger rogue's pushing/sliding powers. Any way you slice it, that's a lot of automatic damage. :eek: [/QUOTE]
