They are? Not that I'd say the power is bad, but my Warlord is definitely not lacking in the AC department. Of course I spend feats to use all shields and armor and have shield specialisation.

Well the Armored Warlord Feat will be nice. Scale armor and a healing surge with no ability or previous armor requirements is pretty nice. Of course with a rogue or such multied to warlord it could be even nicer......

Warlord generally have little or no problem getting AC due to their Str, and the book also allows giving up the +2 initiative for a decent power and heavy hsields

Heavily armored Warlords are coming.

Retraining for the win!

Armored Warlord requires the Battlefront Leader class feature, so it's no help to multiclassers or to pre-MP2 Warlord builds. Still a nice feat though.

On second thought. I don't want Battle Front Leader.

Edit: Ninjaed by tiornys. Probably testing one of these new Shadowy Rogue builds...

Well, my warlord is average in AC (not good, not bad), but in the other campaign my friend's warlord's AC sucks. He went the Eladrin Greatspear way.

And he goes down QUICK when the DM puts the pressure on him. So did I in the last game session.

If I had that at will back then, I would have moved back and used it. So it's nice.

Multiclass + Warlord armor proficiencies = Having nothing to do with each other.

My copy is still in transit so I've only seen what's on DDI, but I'm rather disappointed there was no sword-n-board fighting style (sword in name only, really any weapon + shield fighting style).

Not true, check out the Ninth Legion Commander style. You need a shield for that, plus a one-handed pick or spear, granted notthe usual weapons for board guys.

True, true, but hey, picks needed a little love, so I don't mind. My Eladrin that I wanted to play would be using a trident probably, anyhow, so that's peachy for me.

While you are correct, I don't understand what you're trying to say here. All I was doing was correcting the bolded misapprehension in this previous post:

On another note, am I the only one who's excited by some of the new invigorating powers?
