Starblade Furry: Best Monk feat ever?

[Stalker0]

I just wanted to check this feat and make sure I understand.

If I have the starblade furry feat, and a +1 dagger or something, basically I increase my flurry of blows target number by 1. So I gain about +10-11 (depending on your stats) bonus damage per round.

And I missing something, or is this the coolest monk feat ever?

I like furry monks, and apparently monks like furry things, too.

It doesn't give you any extra targets, though. It just allows you to use your flurry damage against a creature up to 5 squares away.

Still, from paragon onwards (which is when you can get it), this is very useful indeed, cause you won't always have two flurry targets within melee range.

Well the feat does say 'add a single target', so RAW it does seem to add another target to flurry of blows. If it would just allow you to do your flurry of damage against a creature within 5 wouldn't the wording be something like: 'When you use your Flurry of Blows power, you can choose one of the targets to be a single target within 5 squares of you by throwing a dagger or a shuriken that you have in hand.'

Starblade Flurry: "When you use your Flurry of Blows power, you can add a single target within 5 squares of you by throwing a dagger or a shuriken that you have in hand."

Flurry Powers: "Target: One creature
Level 11: One or two creatures
Level 21: Each enemy adjacent to you"

Clearly, the feat allows you to add one target to the number affected - so either "1 to 3" at paragon, or "all adjacent + 1" at epic.

I concur, it does seem to add another target. On the whole, though, I'm not sure that this places it beyond the scope of other paragon feats. For some monks, it might not be significantly better than some heroic tier feats; though by paragon tier those feats have probably been taken already.

I prefer Starblade Fuzzy.

Starblade Furry... would that be a Shifter with a Sunblade?
