[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 4638216, member: 284"] Um, my racial power is an encounter, not a daily. My class power is an encounter as well. Those are available every single fight, and many times I don't even need to use the racial power (only if I miss). And if I only use my class power if they first fail the save against the slow. If they make it, then I use the orb save penalty on a different power. A solo or elite seems like a pretty good time to bust out a daily spell to me. And using a daily item power to give my daily spell significantly better chance of working seems like a good investment. In the early leves (1-4) the character felt weak, but since lvl 5+ he's just been getting better and better. His racial power and feats work just fine in regular encounters, making sure a power lands when I need it. He's multiclassed into ranger, has a passive 28 percption at lvl 8, and with Hunter's quary and the Brutal Accuracy feat he does some impressive damage at least once per combat (after I quarry someone I have that round and the next round to miss, reroll, and add 1d6+5 if I hit on the reroll). He can thunderwave targets 5 squares on a hit, and I have a +2 Thunderawave staff as my main implement now (the orb of mental dominion is pretty much for Sleep for Phantasmal Assailant now). His Cloud of Daggers does 1d6+6 and another 5 damage on on your turn (even if I miss). Not to shabby. He just took a feat to be trained in Stealth and has a +13 stealth now, which should be good for the occasional +2 combat advantage or skill challenge.
