It's about controlling the battlefield, not freezing bits of it in place. By that logic people are using we could call pretty much anything a defender. I mean is a wizard who uses a lot of walls a defender, too? I think people are stuck on the idea that front line fighter=defender but that's only going to lead to a dull situation where each role is dominated by variations on the same archetypes. If all the controllers have the same kind of flavour (magic) then that will be boring. Every party will end up filling that niche with a spell-hurling rear rank weeny. Dull. A 'hands on' controller is a cool idea and a good alternative take on the niche.</blockquote>
