At the very least, Wizard would be both Striker and Controller. Many, I think, would say that Wizard could also be a Defender....personally I think they lack the right spells...but I also feel they should have those spells.   Likewise, I think that at least as things are in 3.x, a Cleric past low level could be a Leader, Defender, Striker and possibly even Controller without much trouble. However, one can hope that the Cleric is actually going to be balanced in 4e.   And the Fighter is much like the Wizard in this respect as well. I think any Fighter should be relatively capable as a Defender or Striker. And then if you want to sacrifice one for the other, you can.  If they do choose to put only 8 classes in the 1st PH, I dont really have any idea what the other 4 will be. They have mentioned a great many classes as being in, but always ambigiously. I hope, if thats the case, that the "new" classes such as Warlord, will be left for later books. I'd also really just as soon see Sorcerer relagated to a later book. If I had to choose 4 beyond the basic 4, it would probably be Bard, Druid, Ranger and Paladin.</blockquote>
