[QUOTE="TornadoCreator, post: 5545077, member: 6672078"] OK, I would strongly suggest either a hybrid class Sorcerer and Swordmage, or multiclassing (although this would work less I think). If you use the Storm Sorcerer powers and took a feat to allow the sword to be used as an implement, it would give a similar feeling to the 3.5 Duskblade and your primary stats would be Intelligence, Charisma and Dexterity, which work quite nicely and would give you high defenses. The character in this case could dart back and forward between the Defender and Ranged Striker roles and has access to a few powers that allow pushing enemies and an encounter that specifies that if you're a storm mage you gain a fly speed equal to your speed until the end of the encounter. This is all during heroic as well, come paragon there are loads of options avaliable to work into the Duskblade feeling. To be perfectly honest though, you could just use the Swordmage and change a little of the fluff and flavour text to make it fit better. [/QUOTE]
