A neat combo I just noticed:

A 1st-level swordmage with Luring Strike (Arcane Power) and White Lotus Evasion (Dragon #374) that's adjacent to an enemy can shift 1 square, attack the enemy, shift 1 square while making the enemy follow, then shift two squares, at-will.

With the 2nd-level utility stance Ghost Step (Arcane Power), for one encounter that could be shift 2, attack, shift 2 and make the enemy follow for 1 square, than shift 4!

That's a pretty hefty amount of at-will mobility at such low levels. What's a good way to use it to further advantage, beyond the obvious? Can anybody thing of any effects that give stuff if you shift a lot?

I'm don't see where the second square comes from in the last shift. What am I missing?

[edit]


  • Standard Action: Luring Strike
    • Luring Strike Effect: Shift before attack
    • Hit: Shift self, Shift target into vacated space
  • Minor Action: White Lotus Evasion granted Shift
  • Move Action: Shift

Got it.
