As for why, as it's been mentioned, classes who focus exclusively on ranged attacks, particularly Seekers who are known for their sub-par dmg(they're a controller NOT a striker anyways).  Now, the core of this thread has been specifically talking about using throwing axes (skinned and labeled as an exotic self-made ninja-star/Glave type weapon...just using the base weapon for the weapon stats), along with the Reaving Axe Slayer feat, a Ranger-specific feat, which states that it knocks enemies prone and that the fallen provoke OA's when they attempt to stand up--with not a single mention of range or adjacency or any other specifics about how you need to make the OA, nor does it say that only certain powers/etc must be used to obtain that effect. This method of injecting OA's into her standard combat tactics may seem overpowered to many of you, but you could say the same thing about a Daggavenger or pretty much any Twin-Strike exploiting character build...guess what? That's what Strikers do: they deal damage, ok? Ranged OA's aside, this character concept is hardly overpowered compared to any other Striker build, it's simply different; against the grain...so what? It's gameplay flavor, not rule abuse/exploitation... I've run some DPS comparisons between how this build should perform and  other Strikers and she is by no means better than very many of them. As I stated above, she will actually be a bit sub-par for the majority of her career, it's only at lvl 16+ that she really starts to come into her own...Anyways, I digress...I've received most of the answers I was asking about to begin with, and my thanks to those who helped in this thread. Now can everyone else stop arguing already? =p</blockquote>
