From 30 ft away, I can't tell the difference between a domesticated greyhound and a prize-winning race dog. Without any knowledge of dogs, could you immediately tell the difference between a dog trained to herd sheep and a dog trained to follow scents?True enough, but the only effective ways of ambushing a group is from a blind spot or from the direction they're heading. It's not the responsibility of the beatstick to cover blind spots.Okay, I'm quickly getting tired of arguing this. I don't see wizards so close to front line that they are within a  monster's reach and the damage dealt by AoO are significant in the long  run. A beatstick controls the pace of the battle by picking off small threats or through defensive tactics, I've never played DnD without one.Now, what's my definition of broken? A well-rounded class that does almost everything is broken. An offensive class which kills too quickly is broken. A defensive class which dies too slowly is broken. You may not agree and have a different definition of brokenness, but that's how I see it.</blockquote>
