Just citing my sources and making it perfectly clear what information I used to form my opinion.At this point all/most of the information we have about 4th Edition is from the videos and random posts by WotC staff. "Off the cuff" is the rule of the day.The cleric's primary role is healer. He's not a defender, he's neither a controller or striker, yep... the clerics a leader. The video confirms that you have to have the cleric to fill out the roles (pre-4th edition) and that the cleric's role (in 4th edition) is leader. Unless the cleric no longer heals, I'd say that's a fairly large "the leaders heal and buff."If the leader doesn't heal and buff, who does? The defender, striker, or controller?Just as a final bit of evidence, bolds mine:The entire article can be found <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/drdd/20070831a" target="_blank">here</a>.So, to recap. James stated that the druid was going to be just as good at healing as the cleric. From the above article, that makes him a leader.Oh, and yes, I do think the Warlord will be healing the party as well. Why? Because WotC has officially stated that's exactly what they're supposed to do.And yep, this is tiring, because if people would take the time to read the info that's out there...</blockquote>
