Would Conan as a slayer make more sense? Slayers are tough (lots of hit points, lots of healing surges) but use a more mobile combat style and don't wear as much armor. Conan has fought in chainmail, but also in no armor at all. I don't get the impression he marks foes, at least not on a regular basis. The Slayer can take Cleaving Assault as a stance to effectively get what the PH1 fighter gets (so potentially slaying two minions per round if he's not using Action Points).
The Slayer has several powers that can let Conan move as a free action, slide opponents, or even make an opponent "scratch" another opponent (minions are pretty good at killing minions).
I also wonder if Conan, a superlative warrior, would be better described as an elite monster, rather than a PC. He could still be given PC-like powers as abilities, so he could still take Cleaving Assault, and with some sort of double attack (or double actions) could potentially slay three or four minions per round without using Action Points.
