4E Class Survivor - Round 11

The Swordmage said goodbye last round. We are down to 8.

For this round we are back to short and simple...Vote for the class you want to remove from the list. Please don't peek at the votes, or discussion before you vote.

Tough call, I like everyone on the list.

I guess I will vote for the rogue. Why? Just because.

Wild magic always having a positive outcome? I don't think so. Kill the sorcerer!

Try rolling a 1 on your attack roll?

The terrorists won last time due to all you horrible people voting for the noble Swordmage, who bravely sacrificed himself to defend you from their evil, but it's time we struck them down. Their filthy jihad must end.

BURN THE AVENGER IN THE HOLY FIRES OF BURNING.

I could go Avenger or Druid, but with Primal Power out soon, maybe the Druid will be better. The Avenger is ttoally out so he gets the axe first.

With the Swordmage finally gone, I like pretty much all of the classes left - except for one.

Please leave the stage, Ranger. I don't know whether it's because of your overpowered at-will power, or simply backlash against all the unimaginative players out there with Drizzt, Legolas or Aragorn in their character portfolio, but I don't like you and I never will.

Vote rogue. The rogue is responsible for the Daggermaster paragon path, which is probably taken by as many sorcerers as rogues. This is silly; there must be vengeance.

I agree the weapon/implement rules are totally screwed up, but after all it is WIZARDS of the Coast, not Rogues of the Coast. Lay blame where it is due.

Hmm, now that the swordmage is gone, I have a difficult time to decide who else should go.

I guess it's time for the drood to say bye-bye!

Give a hoot, don't pollute. Put the Ranger in the compost bin where it belongs.

Dudess? Hells, I've been hanging around with elves too much. It's what I get for being the Elven God of Dice.

It's dude.

And yes, the filthy vermin Avenger must die. On this we finally agree.

Had to vote for the Druid. I don't think it works as well as it should, especially at low levels when you realize that you're inflicting minor, generally unimportant status effects and barely any damage.

Normally I'd continue my hat of the primal power source by trying a third time to knock off the barbarian, but the Druid seems a lot more vulnerable, so I'm voting that way this time.
