[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 4938665, member: 48965"] Eh, in the case of the Warlord, at least for me, it's not about new class bias... it's about sidekick bias. You can dress the Warlord up anyway you want descriptively... but in the end he's nothing but a glorified sidekick. Your schtick is, "I make other people do better, while doing mediocre myself."... and in my experience, in a game of heroic fantasy adventure... most people don't want to play Robin to the other player's Batmans in the group. I think what sets the cleric apart (at least at low levels) is his ability to choose between ranged and melee powers, which the Warlord doesn't have. IMO, this versatility makes the cleric more fun to play, and can even lead to situations where the Cleric is the hero instead of support at times. YMMV of course. Also to those claiming reasons for the poll (such as grognard hate or whatever)... really it's in bad form and comes off like sour grapes because your mad your favorite class didn't win. It also avoids the simplest answer... many people really don't like playing the class for whatever reason. [/QUOTE]
