[QUOTE="cjais, post: 4622848, member: 65394"] I didn't explain myself very well there. What I meant was that RoB is strictly superior to other 3rd level encounter powers, other 7th level encounter powers, and pretty much par for the course when compared to 13th level encounter powers. I know you can't take it more than once, but even if it were a 13th level power, people would still rate it high. It's a no-brainer, if you've got the right weapon. Speaking of which, what do you mean by "suboptimal weapon"? Would you say a Greatspear or Double Sword build is suboptimal? If the power is not such a big deal, why I have seen players go nuts and whine when their DM makes a different ruling on it than they expected? I've seen entire builds constructed around this one power, and as such, I'd say it's a one-trick pony. That said, I agree with Danceofmasks that sweeping blow is a pretty hot contender as well. It's just more situational. RoB isn't "all that", but it's a damn sight better than other powers of it level (and above), and as such I wouldn't have a problem if it got errata'ed to 3 attacks, max.
