In terms of how they build/play:Ardent|Battlemind - can be built to primary either role, largely swinging on the ardent level 1 at-will selection. Energizing Strike is near-at-will healing or at-will THP, while Intent Laid Bare fixes the battlemind's lack of a MBA. Can take a THP granting utility power at every utility level, and many of the ardent dailies are better by far on a defender chassis. All power points should be spent on Lightning Rush, which doesnt care if or who has a target marked, it's going to punish it anyway. Ranger|Seeker - loses next to no striking capacity, though how much you lose depends on level and hybrid talent choice. Most seeker control is relatively weak, and ranger archer control is surprisingly strong, when you evaluate their powers on that scale instead of a DPR scale. Goodies you want include Twin Strike, Biting Swarm, Invigorating Stride, Disruptive Strike, Swirling Arrows, Feyjump Shot, and Feywild Jaunt.Barbarian|Cleric - primarily a striker, but has room for several extra heals via cleric utils. Thaneborn brings some nifty leadery riders, while Thunderborn can accent a cleric's control secondary.Swordmage|Wizard is a lesson in why many people view defenders as a specialized subset of controllers. Effective at any range, whether it's being focused or ignored. Ideal tactic: mark something that you can't prevent from engaging the party, lock down several mobs with your best control effect, preventing them from joining the fun, and then move adjacent to a mob other than the one you marked.</blockquote>
