[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5271838, member: 82106"] Runepriest would be an even better example. The problem with those kinds of statements by designers is they're really impossible promises to make. I mean who actually knows what will come down the pike a year later? All you can read them as are statements of what the devs NOW think when they make the statement. Personally I have no problem with a Striker fighter. Honestly, the GW fighter was already pretty close. I don't really know what to make of the archer slayer. I don't really think it was a primary consideration, and I don't know that they really thought about it a whole lot. We also don't know enough yet about the slayer to say just how good an archer it will really make. Remember, archer rangers have some HUGE bennies. Just the Battlefield Archer PP alone puts them in a whole different category. Consider all the minor action attack powers, high mobility options, etc. and I doubt there's much danger the slayer will overshadow them. He might make a perfectly good alternative that just lets the enemy get in his face and doesn't care, but he's not going to be identical to the ranger. [/QUOTE]
