[QUOTE="mudbunny, post: 5705290, member: 56746"] This is where the DM explaining things helps, as was mentioned above. "The kobold glares angrily at the dwarf, but is too wary of the paladin to dare taking his attention off her." If you are taking teams that do well in Lair Assault as models for "ideal" teams in non-Lair Assault games, then you completely misunderstand the purpose of LA. For groups for whom killing things as fast as possible is the ideal outcome, then for them, yes, strikers are among the most important roles. However, for groups for whom DPR is not king, and tactical play is more up their alley, then they will want a more balanced party. Each group will have their own quirks and styles of play, and to take one particular group's preferred playstyle and assume that it is the default mode for all groups is, to be frank, incredibly short sighted and arrogant.
