Not the best, not even necessarily awesome, but reliably good. Turning it into a build-it-yourself point-buy system wrecks that completely, while opening the door for "haha, I can combine THIS Controller feature with THAT Defender feature and THIS OTHER Striker feature to do 10+Str+Cha damage to all enemies within 5 squares every round!!" crap. Which means, more or less, returning to the problems of 3e: regular players have to plan things out way in advance just to keep up, while people who obsessively memorize all the options can break the system over their knees.*Caveat: unless you're a Binder. Maybe Vampires and Seekers too, but even they are generally thought to be okay, just on the low end.</blockquote>
