I do think Melee training was too centric to many power builds that this change makes sense irrespective of the release of Essentials. AFAIK, IB is a very different case to Melee Training though. Assault Swordmages depend on their ability to make basic attacks as part of their punishment mechanics. No class absolutely demands you invest fully into two primary attack stats, though some builds do need this to work. Assault Swordmage does. This is different to every other Defender. All of them rely on a primary stat for punishment. You don't need OA's to function as a Defender although they often important. Assualt Swordmages needed IB to function on par with other Defenders.</blockquote>
