Hmm... I actually have no idea what to vote for, so I rolled a d1, and the Artificer got selected.

Bye

Okay, Herremann, here you have it:
Spirit Shamans suck. I hate them, and anyone that doesn't feel the same has no clue about what is good and right about Roleplaying Games and should better be playing The Dark Eye like the rest of his kind.







Okay. They probably don't suck and I don't hate them. But if I had to "sacrifice" a class, that would be it. I find the Spirit Companion a little too... fiddly for my taste.

I voted Ranger. Can't think of a good reason to play a Ranger.

I voted sorcerer, because I think they could have done a lot more with it. Even though warlocks may be inferior strikers, I like them a heckuva lot better.

But I almost voted shaman.

Dump the Artificer. It is a limited class, and I hardly consider it a 4E class anyway.

Granted, my highest lock it's just 40... but it's easier to say I fail at D&D locks, not Wow's. Come on Jack, remove demon pets and compare 4E to 3E lock, "heavily inspired" to say the least.

I voted for the swordmage because it comes from the FR setting - and I dislike everything related to that setting.

I voted the warlock off the island because it clearly should have the shadow power source and doesn't.

Having WoW characters at the highest mean nada in my world. I have seen trained monkeys with max level characters.

When that is said, while there are parallels, I think the warlock is ripped off D&D, not the other way around.

I voted Invoker... their fluff seems better covered by the wizard

Shamans have amazing fluff, and decent crunch, don't understand the hate

Paladins have been harshing other people's mellow for WAY too long. Away with them, I say.

Timing mostly. It's a milestone (I guess we all get an action point), which is always good. Also, all of the classes that are out have been out long enough for everyone to have played them, seen them played and/or discussed them.

I am surprised how many people voted off the Artificer and Shaman - two of my favorite new classes.
