    Okay, so working on that premise, and having read that neither Boxing or Kick is particularly "better" as an attack since both force a redraw, is there any reason to take one over the other? In Mids, the description of Boxing states it has a small chance to disorient, and Kick has a small chance to knock down foes. When I look at the raw numbers (dear god, the numbers...) I see 10% chance for Boxing, and 15% chance for Kick for their respective side-effects. Practically speaking, would I notice the extra 5%? Working on unenhanced data, of course, since I don't think I'd waste a slot on stun or knockback, unless it came bundled with something like accuracy.

    Ok, first off, I love this build. My eyes kind of glazed over at all the techie-talk, but I got the gist of it, which is the important part. (My brain + technical specs = meltdown, so it's nothing against you, I promise.)

    But my question is, how very useful is the Fighting Power Pool? Is Leadership moreso? I'm designing a Katana/WP, which is essentially the same build with a skinnier sword (lol) and I was just wondering what was more useful for a scrapper at higher lvls. Since I don't intend to solo this toon, do the team bonuses of Leadership help keep me alive by keeping my support people alive, or will the lack of extra attacks to put down the people trying to kill me going to, well, kill me?

    As a person who HATES crunching numbers (and is lazy) I was just wondering if anyone out there has the data to give me some guidance.
