[QUOTE="Regicide, post: 4375628, member: 67552"] :hmm: Similar? In the atypical party where the wizard has done everything to increase AC and the PLD has done nothing. More likely the Paladin will be being hit 20% to 30% less often even counting the buff. It matters a LOT who is being healed since different characters will have more HP and more healing surges. Have YOU even played 4E? I have. More HP means healing surges heal MORE per action spent activating them. Guess what, PLD comes out as being about the absolute worst target to put damage into with their greater HPs and number of surges compared to non-defenders, and thats BEFORE you consider the PLD can be buffing himself with temp hitpoints every single round. :hmm: With a significantly greater likely hood of missing the PLD, and with the PLD healing significantly more per surge, and with the PLD able to toss on temp hit points at no surge cost at all. If your monsters are going after the PLD, then either the monsters are doing something stupid, or the DM is. I mean, seriously, are you actually trying to argue that defenders are just as easy to kill as strikers or controllers? Really? Just... wow. [/QUOTE]
