[QUOTE="Campbell, post: 4074616, member: 16586"] Let's examine strategic marking in detail. Now, in order for strategic use of marking to be of value the affect of the mark currently in place on an ally needs to be more dire than the impact of the power you are using to mark your ally. For this to be true the following needs to occur: [list] [*]Removing the mark must be worth the Defender's action. [*]Your ally must not want to attack the enemy that has them marked. [*]The effect of the enemy mark must be powerful enough to make it worth all opportunity costs. [*]Damage dealt in the course of the marking must be worth it. Note that the power used to mark your ally might have weapon restrictions and it looks like powers will do a fair job of scaling. [*]Initiative order must shake out so that your ally isn't simply marked again before his turn is up. [*]There must not be more efficient ways to remove the marking. [/list] [/QUOTE]
