Bypassing the fighter is something the enemies always want to do, and something they will be punished for, whether Rain of Steel is activated or not.One reason, normally, to bypass the fighter is because he does not do as much damage as the striker types, but he's sticky and so it's hard to get to those glass canons. Rain of Steel makes the fighter into a canon of his own, therefore making him a good target to take out, especially with ranged attacks. Thus, Rain of Steel could make him stickier, and so could be considered defendery.If Rain of Steel makes enemies bite OA's and Combat Challenge attacks, then that just makes the power even better really.</blockquote>
