[QUOTE="Arc, post: 2548421, member: 12184"] I'm another vote for Marshal. It's a damn useful class in large parties, and combines well with just about everything. Heck, if you're not sure what you want to be... be [i]everything[/i]. Go Marshal / Chameleon and be able to switch up your style depending on the circumstances. Not being confined to a set role can be very useful in a party with well defined roles. Add Master Thrower whenever you have the chance to add some combat versatility. [url="http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=353356"]This[/url] WotC CharOp thread has some really good ideas for this sort of thing.
