From: KanzarisKelshen | #245From: Sceptilesolar | #244But Visage of Zhudun is better than any of Brona's powers for damage contribution so if you're talking about novas it's a bit iffy. Minions of Malbolge is the other daily and it's also quite strong. Also, Brona spends a whole one feat on the Warlord side, Combat Commander.
Don't you have a couple others spent on utility, though? Like Hybrid Talent?
Well, okay, Hybrid Talent. I guess that's sort of spent on utility. Or rather, being a Warlord forces me to use Hybrid Talent to get Storm Soul back. That's two feats. Yeah, if Brona wasn't a Warlord he'd have two more feats and could take Master Riposte too, I suppose.
I think your criticism of the build doesn't really make sense though, mostly because, yes, it's not the best striker ever, but that's not really related to the build chosen; the build sacrifices a few feats that would have a hard time contributing to damage regardless. The only way to make the class itself a sufficiently menacing striker seems to be to make it a charger, and I am not a terrible person, so that's out.
Yep, that's kind of the issue with Hexblades, unfortunately. Their damage bonus really should be +4/+8/+12 points higher than it is or so to be truly up to par for all it's missing.
