[QUOTE="wayne62682, post: 4399238, member: 40455"] Hmm... interesting discussion/analysis creeps up while I was asleep :) I did enjoy the idea of the glaive, but there's no other defender in the party. I don't know how the Cleric was built or what he does. I assume a martial cleric since it's a Dwarf, but I'm not certain. It's looking like the AC bonus isn't going as big a factor as I'm thinking it is, but controlling the battlefield is. That still lends itself to Sword & Board, I think, because of Tide of Iron and Shield Push. I'm not seeing the glaive factor in to control anymore since, as stated earlier, reach weapons no longer threaten. The powers I was going to choose for the glaive were pretty much straight damage powers (e.g. Brute Strike), while for S&B I would choose more control powers that let me push things around. Truth be told I was originally going to play a Warlord, but changed to a Fighter when I saw the party would have no Defender, since we still have the Cleric as a leader type. The party structure is: Cleric, Ranger (Archer), Rogue, Wizard, Fighter (me) [/QUOTE]
