[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 5341394, member: 996"] I'm playing a Knight in at an Encounters table, the jurry's still out, but it's looking to be quite powerful. The Fighter's at-wills and Knight's stances often do closely comparable things. Hammer Hands stance, for instance, lets you push the enemy you hit one and shift into his square. Just like Tide of Iron. Except, you don't need to be using a shield, and, since it's an MBA, you can use it with a charge or OA. The Knight's Aura acts just like a mark against ever enemy adjacent to him, or who moves adjacent to him. The punishment for violating that psuedo-mark is an OA. That does damage on a miss. Whatever Stance you're in will also enhance it. Imagine being able to use both Tide of Iron and Reaping Strike simultaneously as your Combat Challenge Immediate Interrupt, now imagine that you can do it on every enemy's turn, not 1/round - that's what the Knight is cook'n. So, does strict superiority with at wills and Combat Challenge make up for lack of dailies and Combat Superiority? I don't think it's a foregone conclusion. In fact, I think time may well tell us that the Knight and Slayer represent some serious power inflation compared to the Fighter builds they're technically not replacing. [/QUOTE]
