I gotta agree with Gunthar, if you really, really like your at will powers (and they are op'ed), Academy Master is a reasonable choice.  The PP has accuracy, rerolls, extra damage, power recovery and an increase of the duration of a special effect; these are all the hallmarks of a good PP.  Unfortunately, these options are sort of all over the place in terms of party role, so it is for more of a 'jack of all trades' sort of character.  

 

Nearly every Arcane Class except Artificers don't Op at-wills. Therefore its not good. Miss recovery isn't as good as pure power recovery, and going from EonT to (save ends) is rarely as impressive as it seems. Its simply nowhere near a "good PP"  

There is no reason to sugarcoat untruths with niceties, especially with people I will never meet on the internet.

Stop intentionally warping my words, the internet is inherently a different place than reality. Plus, nowhere was I rude, merely forceful.

I'm glad I could inspire such enthusiastic debate, though since we're long beyond the topic of implement choice, should I perhaps start a new topic more relevant to my current needs (I.e. talking about swordlocks.) ?

To answer an earlier question about my lack of swordmage warding: as I was attempting a build with a two handed weapon, I did not feel that the +1 AC warding would have given me justified a feat expenditure.

On the topic of Academy Master, I've never used it before, largely because it looked bland.

I also understand that this particular hybrid is not simple, I'm looking forward to playing a class that is going to require a bit of focus from me to play right. If I wanted simple, I'd just roll a ranger and twin strike my way to victory. (Please don't mistake my tone though, I really appreciate all of the feedback)

If people argue with me simply because they want to prove me wrong that is just sort of pathetic. It also means its not entirely my fault. See how I weasled that

A lot of the internet is pathetic.  Has been for a very long time now.  Also largely irrelevant to the point at hand.  If you choose to be abrasive when you could very well get your point across simply being blunt, well, that's just a little bit pathetic as well.  And if you use "it's the internet, we'll never meet" as your excuse to remain abrasive, well, that's just a little bit more pathetic.  =D

Just saying. 

@Ambisinister:  Nah man, should be alright to keep it in this topic, no real need to make a second when it's all relevant to your character anyways.
