You should therefore pick something else like weapon expertise. Big numbers on a hit are nice, but if you can't hit they are useless. Therefore, compare your attack bonus to monster ACs and make sure you can hit them. Most players seem to favor a 60%-75% chance of hitting. Without power attack you have a 60% chance, get Combat Advantage and you are at 70%.</blockquote>
