[QUOTE="WalterKovacs, post: 4512652, member: 63763"] At paragon, you can pull a spell out of the spellstorm, and thus, once per day reuse dim door. At epic you can spend action points to get back daily powers, so that's every other encounter. Not to mention you can flat out pick a power that goes from daily to encounter. And if you really want more teleportation you can use always multiclass. Ultimately though ... being "stuck doing damage" ... well, you could use your second dim door to get away and ... let the rest of your party die while you run away? Hide while the rest of the party beats the monsters by "doing damage buddy"? You do get to choose your core spells though, and over time there will be more of them. Through multiclassing, paragon paths, epic destinies, magic items [note: wands are the new scrolls] you are able to get a combination of options available to you. You have only a small ammount of options to choose from, but in the long run, you never have to replace your utilities, but you have to replace your daily/encounters. So your "just damage buddy" spells change, and you only have so many, but you keep accumulating the non-damage utility powers. The scroll/wand thing in 3e made it extremely easy to, limited only by money, expand your number of spells per day to a nigh infinite ammount. That just isn't a good idea. The milestone/tier limit for daily powers is a way of keeping the ammount of "other" powers you can do. But, you still have magic items to give you some extra powers every other encounter. So, if you could "retrain" your encounter/daily/utility powers every day, would you still feel that this part of 4e is not right for you? Or is it more than that? Ultimately, even if you had a lot of options, you only have so many slots to fill [3 class encounter attacks, 3 class dailies and 5 class utility] since paragon path/epic destiny is different.
