[QUOTE="cdrcjsn, post: 4217998, member: 60486"] Play Lord of the Rings Online instead. HPs is Morale. Minstrels heal by attacking enemies. Most classes do roughly the same damage with DPS classes doing just slightly more. Honestly, if the game came out at the same time as WoW, I would probably have preferred playing it (visiting Bag End in Hobbiton is very strange but exciting). However if you're coming from WoW, many of the minor upgrades to that game over the years will become apparent. The AH and mail system will appear clunky for example. The game has many good points, but a lot of minor things irritated me that would probably be fixed with time. That, coupled with the fact that I've already invested a lot of time in WoW, made me drop the game after a few fun months (after I reached my goal of getting a hobbit house). I might pick up the game again in the future if I can spare the time though. As for... Though it's harder than 3e, it is possible to play a role outside of the normal designated one in 4e. You can play a Striker Paladin for example, but would probably lose quite a bit of resilience found in a Defender Paladin due to ability allocation and you won't have the mobility of real Strikers. Likewise you can make a Warlock Defender type that has the defenses/durability of a fighter, but might not be as good at keeping foes on you. So you can play a role outside those dictated by your class. You won't be as good as a class designed for that goal in mind, but you can make one that's decent enough to do most of the job. [/QUOTE]
