[QUOTE="Family, post: 4318314, member: 65014"] Disclaimer: I'm not making a call on if being either SWAT or NOT is better or worse (both can be fun/wrongbadfun/nofun). Sometimes: The defenders hold the enemies’ attention, the strikers damage targets without being hit, leaders make the rest of the group better at what they do, and controllers make life infuriating for enemies. Sometimes not: Defender: Well I'm the fighter so I hit a soldier *boom* take that! Armchair: No don't do that you need to mark the boss to hold his aggro. Defender: You said it’s better to not be outnumbered, 'sides I already rolled. Armchair: Okay but we've gone over this before, lock on to the BBEG and hold him till we clear the rif-raf. Striker: Yeah this is how you do it! *Skadoosh* against the BBEG. Drat I just miss. Armchair: If you just waited a round Defender could have provide you with flanking there. Controller: That's okay because the best part about being a wizard is doing massive damage to a single target. I hit the BBEG, Huzzah! Armchair: Right, let's just talk strategy for a moment. I think that wha.. Leader: While I agree with you, we're in the middle of combat let's just do this thing, after all with a role like Leader I should be the one making plans eh? *wink*. Everyone: You need to buff me. Leader: I'm taking a glory moment here and am buffing myself; I'll tank the BBEG so that everyone can do what they want. Armchair: *sighs/rollseyes/rollsdice* You see? DM: That's right everyone can do what they want, including the beasties, it's their turn now bwahaha. But we have to wrap this up; man did this fight go on didn't it? So how does your party roll?
