Role Features... Controller left out?

I just started reading through the whole PHB from power to power myself, and there's a lot more wrong with the Cleric than that though. For instance, Punishing Strike, a level 27 Enounter, does the same thing as Haunting Strike, a level 23 Encounter. Except that Haunting Strike also gives you a +2 to your next attack roll, making the higher level power worse, no matter how you try to interpret it.

And there's a similar problem with two of the Fighter's powers (Steel Serpent Strike and Dance of Steel). Given the recent release of the errata does not address these issues, I wonder if Wizards consider these to be mistakes.

They can only errata so many things so fast...

Legion's Hold is an awesome daily. Not sure why you'd ever want meteor swarm over astral storm... it's funny how that particular iconic D&D spell keeps waxing and waning in how much it sucks as the editions progress.

Meteor swarm is really bad. "sustain standard: move the targeted square up to 3 squares and repeat the attack" would bring it up to the level you expect a 29th daily to be I think, and would also make it more of a swarm than a single fireball...

Imagine casting that 1/encounter.

Where are you reading that are there errata out I'm not aware of?
My book saids 8d6+int damage in a burst 5 area at 20 square range. Standard action. While a big boom not that great.

That isn't errata. Saeviomagy just wrote a suggestion for improving power.

Completely agree! I know we'll see more as time goes on. I was just surprised by their choices for what to errata first.

Also note that my comment about WotC not considering certain things to be mistakes was sarcasm free; there is a definite possiblity that what many of us consider mistakes are, in fact, not.
