I don't recognize half of this stuff. (Not controlling sources might be the source of your problem.)From my recollection, very high defenses (especially against opportunity attacks) is the Artful Dodger's thing.What is an Argent Soul? I assume that's a Paragon Path. I'm not very familiar with the Ardent.Can I assume the Timebender is a paragon path? I don't where there that's from. I recognize those powers except for Psychic Lock... I don't know what that does.I believe the brawler sets his escape DC equal to his Fort defense. Pretty nasty, but any defender can effectively immobilize opponents that he hits. (There's minions that can do that.)What is Fighter's Grit and what does it do? Where is it from?Same with Avernian Knight.I don't know how his Reflex makes him sticky. His Reflex defense should be decent, his Will defense low, and he's a big hulking guy... target his mind.I thought Reaping Strike simply did damage on a miss. There is a feat that makes marks worse if you have a shield, I think that's what you're referring to. Where are all these attack penalties and "super marks" coming from? How does he slide opponents with his opportunity attacks?Need more info. I found my encounters got nastier when I noticed that everyone had cranked their ACs some, while their NADs were generally weak (although distributed). I simply gave a lot of non-casting NPCs attacks vs NADs. For instance, a dwarf fighter-type NPC with Tide of Iron would target Fort rather than AC, while a spear-wielding fighter-type would have Armor-Piercing Strike as an at-will (damage as at-will, not encounter). However, that wouldn't help much with this party. It seems moderately optimized.</blockquote>
