Goodbye Avenger, a character which specializes in going solo has no place in a group game.

Ranger: Now 40% more boring with Arcane Power giving an option for a solid and interesting archer (Prescient Bard). "Duuuuhhhhh, I does damage good with my shooty sticks and am uber pwner" is just not good enough for anyone but a new player.

Prescient Bard ought to have used Dexterity instead of Wisdom -- that would even work in flavor, since Initiative is based on Dexterity.
I wonder if they didn't want to tread on the Sorcerer's toes.
Cheers, -- N

Perhaps. I think Dex is at least as good as Wis. The only think I can think of is that thematically Wis is the "perception" skill, and you use that to see into the future, navigate the currents of luck and fate, or whatever it is prescient bards do to use their powers.
As I type this, the swordmage is just a bit ahead of the paladin. While I love the paladin's flavor and theme, I just feel the current mechanical incarnation doesn't do it justice.
Looking at the current results, it seems the next 3 rounds are already decided...
... total of vote have gone up 1 vote since the last one, since Garthanos is not voting any more that mean 2 more peoples are back from the peak of the 4 and 5 round?

Well, almost to the end, and it looks like the swordmage might just squeak by to live for one more round . Personally, I don't mind if the pally gets it.

hmmm they do now have a unity build... ;-) Commanding Avenger... All for one and one for all? For some reason Avengers get martial-ized in my mind. Duelists and Captains.
