[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 7811457, member: 82504"] They look like you have a massive opening for a melee attack and are already a huge tremendous nonsensical raging 10 feet away ... perhaps an enemy is an idiot to ignore that apparent opening plus you know they only fully fell for that opening if you get the attack in if you went no wait that isn't real he is faking me out you stop short. How a power works can depend on the situation but really arrogance is exploitable too. In Kendo there is a stance which is basically one where you expose your belly and dare the enemy to take the stroke. I saw a boxer staggering back word pulling in his opponent before they were ready he ended it by pulling a haymaker up from the ground (ie where your fist almost hits the ground behind you before you unleash it). It looked very much like a 1 enemy come and get it. Thing is that boxer did that same trick every single fight and one using it all the time. If it didnt work he couldn't get the attack off even though yeh they took the bait up to a point. Additionally the thing I see about powers is the player gets to choose when a bunch of situational elements come together so it may work... ie it wouldn't have worked two rounds later or two rounds before but it does now this is more true of the daily powers than others but can be true of [/QUOTE]
