4E Class Survivor - Round 7

Finally, a non-leader gets voted off (apparently only because no leaders are left) and we say goodbye to the warlock. Are we going to see the strikers voted off in turn now that the leaders are gone? Are the votes going to start striking a different type of theme now? We'll see what the next round brings.


Rules

1) Vote for the class you want to "vote off the list."

2) Please don't look at the current tally or the discussion before you vote.

I voted invoker, do not care much for the flavour. I really do like the swordmage and hope he survives.

I remain committed to voting for the Warden. I don't really have anything new to add to my dislike.

My one defense of Swordmages is that it sets up a possible all arcane party featuring Swordmages, Wizards, Sorcs, Warlocks, and Bards/Artificers, which you could use to make magical colleges.

Once the Warden, Swordmage, and Invoker are gone, things will get interesting.

Don't listen to this dangerous lunatic. Swordmage is awesome and he's just bitter because it wasn't exactly what he wanted.

Instead, get rid of Invoker. Class needs to die. Now.

Maybe I should say more often that the Invoker is frigging awesome?

I must defend the Warden and the Invoker in an effort to stave off their destruction.

I love my Warden. The concept of a Dwarf who is so at home with the earth that it listens to his commands, slows down his enemies and lends him its strength is awesome.

I also really love my Invoker. He is a Dwarf who worships Ilmater(in FR) and believes in suffering as much as possible in order to protect others. He does damage to himself in order to curse his enemies.

Now, tell me that isn't cooler than most of the other classes. I like them all, but given a choice, I'd get rid of Warlock because of its mechanical crappiness.

Edit: Wow. I'm feeling dumb today. Not only is the Warlock already gone, but I'm kind of tired right now and in my effort to look for it, I somehow clicked on Invoker and thought, "There is the Warlock, I was looking for it" and then hit submit.

Funny, because I really don't like the swordmage and hope he doesn't survive.

We are definitely at the silly pseudo-hate posts level right now... not a coherent my reasoning is post in the lot. I think before this is done we will be down to bland and overly effective.(as the things still on the list). Those hoping to trash the ranger including myself are doomed... I say dooomed.

Kill the warden, kill the warden, kill the warden...

...oh, did I hear someone asking why? Okay. Ill-defined flavor, clunky mechanics with little justification in-game, clearly added simply to bring the number of primal classes up to four.

The ranger will come into my sights eventually, but not until warden, invoker, avenger, and paladin get picked off. I'm rooting for fighter or rogue to come out on top.

wow, the warden just keeps hanging on by a thread. if enough people accidentally vote for the invoker, he might live another round.

Hmm dead heat for Invoker and Swordmage (thanks to my vote)

Iwould have voted Swordboy, as he is in an FR product and is irreperably tainted by that fact, but I dislike Invokers more.

Im already getting bored by this whole contest, but will probably, maybe, possibly keep voting, if I think of it and have the time and the thread is in the top two of this forum and the stars are right and ...

Well, you might get the idea by now.

If not, you probably voted off a leader.

With the warlock dead, it's time to focus on getting rid of the rest of the Primal classes, because I just don't like nature-boys. The melee druid warden gets to go first, because he shouldn't have ever existed in the first place and only did because the 3.x druid was broken.
