[QUOTE="eriktheguy, post: 4928248, member: 83662"] My interpretation is that there needs to be fewer abilities that allow certain classes/roles to perform the same attacks as other classes/roles. For example, a Sorcerer gets an at-will burst 1 that does more damage than a wizards similar powers (blazing star fall with the bonus damage from the sorcerers class feature). Giving them the ability to perform as well as the wizard at its own role makes the classes too samey. They are no longer distinct because they can all do everything. I agree with you in that these powers should at least be nerfed. For example, fighters have plenty of multi-target and burst attacks, but most of them have limited range and/or limited number of targets, so the fighter cannot hit as many targets as the controller. I would like to see more stuff like this. Most non-healer classes never get healing powers, so why do strikers deserve controller powers. I would still like to see classes have powers available not associated with their class roles, but they should be weaker than those associated with their roles. [/QUOTE]
