[QUOTE="Herschel, post: 5182309, member: 78357"] I think part of it is that a player needs to......evolve(?) past the "I duz lotsa damage" mentality that is necessary in so many games. It is easy to do damage, and an Archer Ranger, for example, can contribute sufficient damage to a party without much tactical skill or thought just by spamming Twin Strike. It's bold, it's obvious, it's easy, it's right there. With a controller, often when you do "sexy" damage, you aren't as effective as an actual controller. Their dailies will mess up a DMs plans in a big way, but at lower levels they only have one to work with where a striker will be pumping out base damage at a nice clip even after/without dailies and even encounter powers. Slow is a great tactical tool, for example, but it just sounds kind of 'meh' because it doesn't cost them an action, it doesn't generally come from a power that does big show damage, and it doesn't jump off the table at someone.
