4E Class Survivor - Round 10 (make your prediction)
- Thread starter Glyfair
- Start date
Yay, paladins are gone!
Voting for the avenger this time around, although it was a toss-up between them and rangers - I'll certainly aim at the ranger next. (Bo-ring!) Not understanding the hate for swordmages, they seem to me like an excellent fighter/wizard hybrid - an archetype with a long and storied tradition in D&D, going back to the Elf class in the old red book.
Top three? Well, fighter is a foregone conclusion - it consistently gets the fewest votes to eliminate, and it's head and shoulders above the competition on my "4E classes you like" thread. Whatever else you may say about 4th Edition, it got fighters right. Rogue also seems like a fairly safe bet, though its performance has not been quite as consistent. The third one is trickier... I think it will be between the wizard and the sorceror. Tough call, but in the end I guess I'll trust the resilience of a class that's been around since the beginning.
So: I predict fighter for the blue ribbon, then rogue, then wizard. Old-school for the win!

Gah! I meant to hit Ranger (again, DIE ALREADY YOU BORING PoS!) but hit the druid instead. I don't love the druid but I want the pablum-filled training wheels class GONE!
People who are voting against the Swordmage are simply jealous because they have the best at-will in the game with Lightning Lure and they can't understand the tactical awesomeness of it.
Oh, and Jack, if you want to lay down some puritan smack, google "Bible Belt". Sheesh, geographically/demographically challenged Dutch, I tell ya.

Don't think a controller has a chance to make it to the top 3 (though I'm shocked that Druid is still around. It should have gone before Paladin).

The avenger has janky powers that encourage you running around and letting people swing at you.
The fighter mark is a little inelegant in that you have OAs and interrupt attacks, and what modifies one doesn't modify the other.
The ranger's bland, and "I fight with two weapons" is not a valid basis for a class.
The rogue is needlessly restricted with the whole 'light blade, sling, crossbow' thing.
The swordmage, though I love it, has a weird mark that never goes away. And when other defenders are fighting for their lives, the swordmage is being an ***hole, playing tag with the guy he marked.
I'm betting the top 3 are fighter, rogue, and sorcerer. I'm rooting for sorcerer.
