4E Class Survivor - Round 12

The Druid wandered off into his grove the last round. We are down to 7, and closing in on the top 5. There is a clear favorite this round, based on previous round's voting. However, we have seen some surprises as there are more votes shifting when a class gets eliminated. Who will be eliminated this time?

Vote for the class you want to remove from the list. Please don't peek at the votes, or discussion before you vote.

Edit: Oops, somehow choose to allow multiple options. Please choose only one.

Not sure if it's intended, but this is a multi-choice poll.

I refrained from voting until you can confirm one way or the other if this is intended.

Yeah. WTF? Maybe repost?

And, druid/grove? So many pun opportunities you missed. You're a better man than I.

Huh. Not sure how that happened. I edited the first post, but it really isn't too broken if a few choose more than one.

Yeah, but why not repost while you have the chance? /shrug

will stop the complainers, at the very least, when the avenger gets killed.

I voted for the Wizard this time, mostly because of my personal dislike in playing controllers.

That said, every class remaining I actually like and would personally play. IMHO, Wizards are best at their role, and Orbizards can nullify even the toughest foes by themselves and I'd welcome one in my party.

At this point, it's mostly just nit-picking on my end.

Down to some solid classes now. So I'll vote for the avenger mostly on a lark, it's between him and the wizard.

Reason: The avenger's controller sub-roll is quite cool, but they REALLY should have an ability to get their oath to trigger with all of their ranged/area powers. Even if it's something as simple as a paragon tier feat to do it once a fight, it's annoying that they have a nice secondary role that detracts from their primary (the rogue doesn't usually loose a round of sneak attack with Dazing Barrage, far from it).

Voted for ranger because it is not one of the ones I want to see at the end.

This time I am voting for the ranger - I like the class but due to the 3 very different builds his power choice is too limited.

Much though I'm tempted to feign anger at the voting off of my favourite class, the Druid, last time, I'm not that petty.

Besides, most of my Druid love comes from it being the first class I ever played, back in 2nd ed. I haven't had a chance to play it yet in 4th, so if people who have played it or with it dislike the class, who am I to argue?

Anyway, onto my vote. I'm sticking to my guns and trying to remove the Drizzt clones from contention. Bye bye Ranger.

Druid was my favourite back in 2e. But nowadays, the only thing the 4e druid has in common are the wild shapes. I much prefer the shaman, these days.

But if you played an Avenger next, you'd have even more fun

I'm all for voting off the ranger. Now that we've caught the first glimpse of the Seeker, there's no longer any reason for the ranger class to exist.

! I agree on the Avenger, but something had to go. Regarding the Seeker, I vastly prefer the old ranger..

I picked the Sorcerer because I am petty and love the Warlorck, and the Sorcerer is stealing his shtick. And also, most Sorcerer builds seem to fiddly.
