Dear Friends,
I'm not sure if this will be of interest to you guys, but just a thought...
I would like to seek your help to assemble a collection of top / useful powers from 4E. Please sort by Level and Type (At Will, Encounter, Daily, At Will Utility, Enc Utility, Daily Utility).
For now, please exclude Racial Powers, but include Theme powers if you wish.
They don't have to be only Powerful (though Powerful is good!), they can also be Useful, easily improved with Feats (say RBAs), or simply very good for what it is, eg. Magic Missile is unavoidable.
They should be unique and comparable within their Level and Type.
eg. Sanctuary may be a very good power for a Cleric, but it pales against a Wizard's Shield.
I've placed Psionic Augmentation powers separately, for better clarity / comparison.
Please include the following Info :
<Class/Source> <At-Will, Utility, Encounter, Daily> <Level> : <Power Name> : notes, if any
If it has no Level, just don't put a Level.
Class-feature related powers (eg. Mage Hand) can be excluded from this list.
Notice my selection is quite limited to a few classes, so look forward to learning from you guys.
You don't have to go through my list, just what you think is good, and it is OK if there are overlaps
Best Regards
Steve
===================
PS : to start the ball rolling, here are some I can think of off-hand
Barbarian At Will 1 : Howling Strike : works well with a charge, doesn't mesh so well with Slayer / Thief.
Bard At Will 1 : Staggering Note : because someone else can hit harder...
Cleric At Will 1 : Astral Seal : for matching Pacifist healer and an almost At-Will heal.
Cleric At Will 1 : Lance of Faith : for the saving throw and THPs at will
Druid At Will 1 : Magic Stones
Druid At Will 1 : Grasping Claws : an MBA that lets you immobilise with a feat
Druid At Will 1 : Swarming Locusts : Close Blast 3, hit or miss everyone in it grants CA. wow.
Invoker At Will 1 : Hand of Radiance : Wonderful with Morninglord.
Monk At Will 1 : Lion's Den
Monk At Will 1 : Five Storms
Ranger At Will 1 : Twin Strike
Rogue At Will 1 : Deft Strike : w Daring Performer & Black Arrow
Rogue At Will 1 : Duelist's Flurry : repositioning with guaranteed Sneak Attack. good at heroic.
Rogue At Will 1 : Gloaming Cut : much better if DEX and INT didn't share the same NAD.
Rogue At Will 1 : Precise Strike : the original Weapon vs NAD attack.
Rogue At Will 1 : Riposte Strike : almost a full attack in retaliation, and improvable with feats.
Swordmage At Will 1 : Luring Strike : puts Nimble Strike, Footwork Lure, Tide of Iron to shame.
Warlock At Will 1 : Eyebite
Warlock At Will 1 : Hand of Blight
Warlord At Will 1 : Direct the Strike
Warlord At Will 1 : Furious Smash
Warlord At Will 1 : Paint the Bulls-Eye

Wizard At Will 1 : Chilling Cloud
Wizard At Will 1 : Hypnotism
Wizard At Will 1 : Magic Missile : never misses while within range. ouch.
Wizard At Will 1 : Storm Pillar
Ardent At Will 1 : Energizing Strike : Augment 1 is awesome too until the DM decides to coup-de-grace
Ardent At Will 1 : Demoralizing Strike : Mind Thrust but in Melee, with an extra +1 when augmented.
Ardent At Will 1 : Ire Strike : Furious Smash with options.
Battlemind At Will 1 : Twisted Eye : A level 1 Encounter Blind, usable multiple times.

Psion At Will 1 : Memory Hole : Eyebite with options
Cleric Encounter 1 : Healing Strike
Ranger Encounter 1 : Two Fanged Strike : simple and effective.
=====================
Acrobatics At Will Utility 2 : Agile Recovery : stand as a minor action, frees up the boots slot up
Bluff At Will Utility 2 : False Bravado : probably more useful if monsters marked more.
Fighter Enc Utility 2 : Glowering Threat.
Wizard Enc Utility 2 : Shield : just about the only interrupt that lasts until ENT, instead of just against the Attack
Ranger Daily Utility 2 : Stalker's Mist : Seriously. Incredibly. Good.
Warlock Daily Utility 2 : Charm of Hearts
=====================
Cleric Encounter 3 : Resurgent Sun
Fighter Encounter 3 : Rain of Blows
Ranger Encounter 3 : Disruptive Strike : too good.
Rogue Encounter 3 : Darting Strike : beats Startling Offensive for using OA, leaving Immediates free.
Rogue Encounter 3 : Shadow Steel Roll
Rogue Encounter 3 : One-Two Punch : deals bonus damage to both targets. decent.
Swordmage Encounter 3 : Dimensional Vortex
Warlock Encounter 3 : Void Blast
Wizard Encounter 3 : Icy Rays
Ardent At Will 3 : Unsteadying Rebuke : Augment 2 almost makes the Attack fizzle...
Ardent At Will 3 : Prescient Strike
Ardent At Will 3 : Guarded Prison : very good for what it does... although very situational
Battlemind At Will 3 : Momentum Swing
Battlemind At Will 3 : Shade Strike : an unaugmented at will that grants Encounter-long concealment. Gay.
=====================
Cleric Daily 5 : Consecrated Ground
Ranger Daily 5 : Snarling Wolf Stance
Ranger Daily 5 : Spitting Cobra Stance
=====================
Cleric Enc Utility 6 : Bastion of Health : an extra healing word with longer range

Rogue Enc Utility 6 : Swift Parry : could be better if not for the light blade and stat requirement
Warlord Enc Utility 6 : Reorient the Axis : Almost Whole party can shift your Stat. Every Single Encounter. WOW.

=====================

Wizard Encounter 7 : Twist of Space
Battlemind At Will 7 : Lightning Rush

Battlemind At Will 27 : Brilliant Recovery
