You can have both at your arsenal, but even then you are not alternating between them most of the time.in your 3 round example, shield feint, shield feint, brash strike is better than shield feint, brash strike, shield feint if the monster goes down after that combo. ;/math:.45*.45*.35*0 HIT.45*.45*.65*1 HIT.45*.45*.20*1 HIT.55*.30*.35*1 HIT.45*.55*.80*2 HIT.55*.30*.65*2 HIT.55*.70*.20*2 HIT.55*.70*.80*3 HIT1.918375I already showed you with mathe that using brash strike only is better than alternating between both damagewise if you don´t count in combat challenge. (Even better than using feint feint brash strike)strictly alternating without thinking doesn´t give you intended results.1. cleave does minion clearing better than brash strike. Not in combination with shield feint of course, because a mnion is dead. But dismissin cleave as an at will will cost you your minion clearing power. (brash strike is not s bad for that too, because minions don´t get CA if they are dead)2. Reaping strike is also not intended to use in combination with shield feint, but a power you can always use after encounters and dailies are used up for good damage and no CA, of course, not in combination with shield feint.3. Same as above: a great power to have4. shield feint to set up encounter powers with effects like daze etc.You are giving reasons why it is not great but ok. OK is very suboptimal if you have better choices most of the time. So it is a terrible thing to think it is worth having both of them for the alternating +0 +5...I don´t even say brash strike is bad with a sword... i don´t even say, it is a bad idea to have both, but IMHO not having cleave and tide of iron/reaping strike is too much a tradeoff.Although i am a bit on the fence with brash strike/cleave if you have a good controler that clears clumped minions for you... but even if I had both, i would not ALTERNATE each round, because the result is quite suboptimal... better use the right one for the right situation.</blockquote>
