[QUOTE="MrMyth, post: 5259048, member: 61155"] What percentage of fighters do you genuinely believe have encounter and daily powers that can be used on a charge? How many fighters design their characters for the potential to spend a combat permadazed? This hypothetical situation you keep returning to is both extremely unlikely to actually come up, and likely to be [I]more[/I] beneficial to the Knight than to [I]most[/I] fighters. Sure, a Fighter that you have specifically designed to work well in that situation will come out ahead. But that isn't a valid comparison nor a valid criticism of the Knight. As it is, while dazed and charging, the Knight will have access to whatever At-Will it last used, along with presumably all of its Encounter powers (which seem likely to be 'add-ons' is can use on a hit.) Almost every other melee character in the game, on a charge, will have access to neither At-Wills nor Encounter Powers. A very, very few will have one or two powers usable on a charge, but that leaves them still just [I]as[/I] limited as the Knight. I'm just not seeing any limitation here. Do you really think the Knight will often get perma-dazed, and that it will always happen when, for some reason, he has already started using a Stance that will be useless in that combat? [/QUOTE]
