My guess is that the slayer will be a bit less sticky than the original fighter functioning as a striker/defender type while the knight will be a very focused and effective defender that will make the old sword & board fighter want to cry and go home.  The knight will probably have abilities that allow it to defend other targets rather than imposing some kind of mysterious sanction on the enemy.  Just like the mage will not be limited to a strictly controller role. I believe WOTC is moving to a model where build rather than class defines suitability for a given role. It is a more flexible approach requiring fewer basic classes to provide coverage for roles in a group. I like it.</blockquote>
