[QUOTE="Dan'L, post: 4928342, member: 68954"] I feel your pain. I'm currently at level 8 with a Dragonborn Resourceful Warlord, and I've been struggling with many of these same issues. So many of the powers end up being situational, and the at-wills lackluster, that I've spent many rounds in combat actually throwing MBAs because it's been my best option. I've Opening Shove & Wolf Pack Tactics, and I've found that A) I've got a better MBA than most the rest of the party and B) like your party, most times nobody wants that free shift & since my Gauntlets of Mighty Striking let me land more damage with a Basic Attack, I just go with that. Another somewhat irksome thing is that when you feel like you've got no real exciting or useful thing to do with your normal standard action, that Action Point just kind of taunts you with another opportunity to yawn. At least at Paragon tier there will be the opportunity for some other use for an AP, but be aware that most of those for Warlord still do nothing for the Warlord's own action, but merely give things to your allies. Most of the bright lights of enjoyment I've had with my character come up in times of roleplay, not combat. Find a way to make yourself more vocal out of combat, if you can. Maybe pick fights, because that way when you're in the middle of combat, at least you'll have a stake in it since you caused it? In the end, I think most of the enjoyment out of this class & build will come from building a strong personality & back story and playing it to the hilt. -Dan'L [/QUOTE]
