[QUOTE="Herobizkit, post: 6752997, member: 36150"] Based on that set-up, a second Striker seems to be the most called for - a get up in your face kind. Hopefully your team is keen on keeping the squishy Striker out of trouble while the Defender ... erm, defends. Before I continue, I'm extremely partial to E-Classes. If your DM does not allow them, most of this advice will be wasted. :3 That said, if you don't want to be squishy, it's hard to argue with a hybrid Revenant Vampire/x. * Revenant lets you stay conscious when you hit 0 and you can never really die except throug Massive Damage. * Hybrid Vampire gives you practically all the benefits of the Vampire 'class' without most of its weaknesses. You may lose most of your Healing Surges, but you could build around that. The Executioner e-Assassin hits harder; the standard Assassin is more about evasion and snazzy effects over raw damage. If you slap on a Divine class to that [x], you can feat out of being weak to sunlight via Divine Vampire. Avenger is also a lack-lustre Striker that favors accuracy over damage, but you could make a plausible Critfisher out of him. I generally build to flavor over efficiency, so I can't really speak to 'neat tricks' as much as a CharOp might. [/QUOTE]
