[QUOTE="Rothe_, post: 4990889, member: 84765"] Do we have strikers that kill an enemy with one hit? No. Do we need defenders who can lock down all the monsters in the encounter? No. Defenders work fine. They can hold back around 2 enemies and occasionally a few more with powers. That is how it is supposed to work. Also, the DM has no obligation to take OA's with monsters or to always attack the paladin. The mark effect -2 to hit is already plenty and often it makes the defender into the best target for the marked monster. Sometimes it does not, but it still helps the allies a lot. The extra damage from attacks or divine challenge/sanction are pretty good bonus damage. Sanction always hits, so it should deal around half damage compared to the fighters attack - in practice it does not quite do so much, but it has some other advantages (like being able to cause damage to several enemies, instead of having a limit of one immediate action).
