[QUOTE="ashockney, post: 4176115, member: 1363"] I was thinking about this last night, and I thought I'd like to see some classes that fill some different roles than what we've seen in the past. The new methodology presented in 4e will allow for some interesting twists in that regard. The new roles include: Defender, Striker, Leader, Controller. I think it would be fun to see some interesting combinations of these things that would include: Striker/Defender Striker Leader Striker/Controller Defender/Striker Defender/Leader Defender/Controller Leader/Striker Leader/Controller Leader/Defender Controller/Striker Controller/Leader Controller/Defender I leave to people much more creative than me to extrapolate some cool twists on these baselines. For example: Striker/Controller: These are DPS dependent characters, who do so through AoE effects, that at times can have effects that slow or hinder your opponents. I'm picturing a Diablo 2 paladin here, with some melee abilities, that really result cool and interesting AoE effects. [/QUOTE]
