[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 6097466, member: 779"] Warlord could go away since there's only one and a half editions that had it as the base class, Paladin and Ranger will never go away because they've existed in 1e to 4e and there'd be a huge outcry if they weren't classes, and they've clearly had 4 editions to become stronger concepts. But on the subject of Warlord, I felt it never was about the healing and more about team tactics for a combatant. Currently the fighter lacks much in the way of special team tactics, but I could see them getting some. A thing I had about Warlords was that if fighter powers were a lot more versatile in 4e, and they weren't aiming for roles in a class powers, Warlord powers could fit right into Fighter powers, unlike some of 4e's more niche classes (like the Warden) which had powers that certainly were more unique in flavour and distinct from the Warlords. But the thing is they could have gone either way with the Warlord being a class or not, though I feel it could justify a sub-class or class variant, but that's something I wouldn't think they'd even try in the core books.
