Direct the strike
warlord attack 1

Target: one ally

Effect: "The target makes a basic attack as a free action against an enemy of your choice that you can see and is within 10 squares of you."[MP2:83]

Direct the strike is an at-will power available to warlords at 1st level.

CharOp Evaluation: Great [Charop Warlord]

While lacking the feat support or scaling damage bonus of Commander's Strike, Direct the Strike provides something that many Warlords wanted for an at-will attack granter: Range. This makes it competitive with the alternative, especially if your team has a build that benefits from extra attacks without you being close (such as Lockdown Fighters), or Warlords that don't like being in Melee (Like Skirmisher or Archer Warlords).
