Best of the Best - Strikers.

[Klaus]

Perhaps you aren't taking enough risks as an artful dodger then. With mine, it's running into the fray and attacking from the middle of all the bad guys, and zipping back out. Almost never missing and hardly ever getting hit thanks to increased AC against opportunity attacks or powers that let him shift 5 squares, etc. In true glass cannon fashion, he's hits often but unless he's moving he get hit... hard.

Wow, I haven't played in months!

Past first round, it was hard to find good flanking positions that didn't involve spending an entire round just moving (most of the campaign was outdoors). I had no real "flank buddy" (the PCs were more "individuals" than "party").

In the meantime, the archer ranger remained rooted to a spot and took down creature after creature with her bow.
