crimson wick ki focus is awesome on multi-attack monks or even executioners if you are throwing out shurikens. i have a hybrid monk/vamp that i was using cascading strikes for but now im not so sure, especially mid paragon on, i have so many multi-attacks

Misshapen is an interesting (and rare) theme that works for monks who have a free hand. Most monks have their hands full, but this theme might just be enough to actually build and enjoy playing a monk with a free hand.
Haunted Blade might be interesting for some non-tiefling Paladins and Battleminds.
These are not total wastes of space... There are even powers that were written well, as though someone was paying attention and cared, like the timing of the immobilize on Haunted Blade's Blade of Nightmares.
Vampire items are rather pedestrian. Not sure I see anything worthwhile there.

If something has to move "up to it's speed," doesn't that imply it can move less than it's speed? Like 0 squares?

Misshapen seems best on defenders. Is it good for Brawler Fighters? It's been a while since I played mine. It's the only encounter power for them that offers a grab that lasts more than one round. Altered Extremity (+1 reach for a round) is hilarious with grab attacks.
The theme also nice for non-teleporting Swordmages who want some more control and an awesome OA. Although grabbing with your free hand does reduce your AC by 2.
Not impressed with the Vampire ki foci. Rain of Hammers is still loads better.

Heh, you've made an excellent point. That's worth posting errata about.

It must move, which is defined by going from one square into another. Moving 0 squares isn't moving, so it can go a minimum of 1.

Misshapen: You have a really big arm. e1 is a grab that can be used during an OA. the f10 increases forced movement distance (from melee attacks) by one. The u6 he's refering two is an end-of-encounter daily that gives +2 AC&Fort, but far more importantly: "In addition, when any enemy ends its turn adjacent to you, it must use a free action to move up to its speed away from you"
nice....

Does Misshapen U6 activate the Pursuit Avenger's damage bonus? If so, does that make it worth being a Pursuit Avenger at all?

Source? I ask because this would directly affect the viability of a number of Thief tactics, among what I suspect would be many other examples.

You're the straightest shooter I know on these boards. You don't mince words about your opinions, and I respect that about you. The whole fiasco you described in the last State of the CO Forum was particularly enlightening (and kind of disappointing with regards to how they see us).
Ah, Tsuyo. When your post isn't one sentence long full of asterisks, you have much wisdom to share with us  .
