Warning strike is a 7th-level cleric encounter attack power designed to shut down enemy options with a pseudo-mark effect. It was introduced in Battle Cleric Options, an article in Dragon Magazine 400 written by Mike Mearls to enhance Strength-based clerics.
This power is rated as a good choice, being a suitable power for being an off-defender role or stacking with an existing mark or related effect.[Charop Cleric]
