[QUOTE="moritheil, post: 4289737, member: 30610"] Welcome to the boards. The OP said he could build any concept that could be done in 3.x. Submitting classic archetypes like the warrior/wizard is well within acceptable topics. Anyhow, here are my own. I would like to see some triple threats built in the 4E system (Actual threats. Half the spellcasting of a mage of your level does not a legitimate threat make.) - I am the essence of deadliness. Blending magical prowess, stealth, and skill at arms, I strike swiftly and terminate my opponents before they have a chance to react. I can deal either potent magical damage or devastating strikes, depending on which is better suited to the situation. I can damage anything, even things normally resistant to one or both of these methods. - I am the essence of preparedness. Whether magical misdirection, base cunning, or treachery, nothing escapes me. I am alert to subtle inconsistencies in character and the tell-tale signs of trap placement and ambush as well as disturbances in the magical flows that surround me. In short, I ensure the party is never truly surprised and always has the edge on the enemy, and I assist in the fight itself with strong support magic and powerful attacks. - I am the master of legions. Given a few days to prepare, I conjure forth dozens of expendable monsters - individually no threat to the enemy, but overwhelming in numbers. I can send them out on separate tasks or order them to attack en masse. Enemies who think that my strength is solely in my minions are in for a rude awakening, as I am also potent with both spell and blade. Despite this, I tend not to risk myself in battle - I can always simply win by attrition, for my hordes are endless given time. I think it's pretty obvious how these are built in 3.x (and of course there are multiple ways to build them) but the overall idea is that in 3.x it is possible to actually properly cover multiple roles, whereas I haven't seen any indication that this is possible in 4E.
