Class Idol Round 6: Our Final...Five

[TerraDave]

Its our final…five. Due to a “too close to call” in the last round, both the swordmage and wizard live to fight another day. (The avenger is not so lucky). But I am dropping two this round, so this may be it for them.

As before, this remains a solid party, if a little “controlly”.

Comments welcome.

Controlly? Not at all! With two defenders, this is a very solid party. SOme random thoughts:

- Sorcerers are in: I think people like steady, condition-independent striker damage. Plus the sorcerers have several cool utilitis, and the class can be easily theme-tailored.

- Warlords are in: guess we see what people have been wanting, eh? A cleric-like class, but without any of that divine nonsense! Actually, the absolute absence of the divine power source skews this much closer to a swords-and-sorcery play.

- Fighters are in: the one class where your weapon choice matters. Fighters are the shining beacon of 4e, the class who gained the most.

Divine classes did not do great. Though I guess primal and psionic did worse. (And of those, the ones that lasted the longest were the martially and old-school barbarian and monk).


Swords and Sorcery rulz.

That would be a rockin' party. My beloved Swordmage is still kickin' it, the Warlord is hanging tough and the Wizard is still doing his bit too. The Fighter and Sorcerer are my least favorite of these and I still like them.

Interesting how different this result is from the previous negative voting poll.

Yeah, I remember Warlord getting blown away quickly. Must be a love/hate thing. A lot of people like the Warlord . . . at least that vote in these polls, but a lot of people hated the Warlord enough to get rid of him in the other version.

Ok, still one more day. The warlord and fighter are looking good, but who will be the third class to advance. Lets get those votes.
