[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 4824483, member: 2011"] It can be. This is an effect that occurs constantly for the rest of the encounter every time a foe moves closer. Think of it as a Wizard getting a Fireball off that does not hit allies, but does hit foes and the Wizard gets to use it every single round without using an action after round one. Against a large group of melee weapon using minions, it's definitely much stronger than Flaming Sphere because it has a larger area of effect and it occurs on the enemies' turns, so the Ranger (or Warlock in this case) does not use up any of his own actions using it in latter rounds. The Ranger can merely back away and unlike area effect attacks that either hit or miss and are done, this power allows him to attack each minion round after round after round until he kills it or it runs away, merely be retreating every round. Remember, 30 minions is equivalent to 7.5 standard foes or 1.5 solos. This power alone can wipe them out. So yes, it has the potential to be too powerful. Against a solo dragon, yeah, it's not as effective. [/QUOTE]
