If you don't use your feats to improve your accuracy the amount of damage you can do will go down dramatically as you level, never mind the difference with a character built to actually increase their accuracy with level. This 'tyranny of accuracy' affects all classes in 4e not just strikers. I don't even see what the contraversy is here. Every character guide in the WOTC forums will emphasize the importance of maintaining and improving accuracy in 4e. I feel as though if we were only talking about building 4e rogues as opposed to  comparing rogue/thief classes across editions, you wouldn't even being disagreeing with me on this point. Would you really advise a newbie at your 4e table to ignore Weapon Expertise and take Skill Focus instead, because their rogue character would be just fine without it?</p></blockquote><p></p>
