[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 5011603, member: 710"] I like your other ideas, but ultimately - does "more" healing really hurt. Sure, it is boring to slug it out endlessly and have everyone yoyo from 0 to bloodied to full hit points, but is the party underpowered? To "defend" my build - I agree the specifc characters are pretty much just selected for being underpowered themselves. Otherwise, I was focusing a little too much on what the Leader contributed - tactical warlords "perks" is generally seen as handing out basic (often melee) attacks, and this party would not get much from it. But there is probably more to consider. Distant Advantage might be suboptimal, too. The trick might be giving the Paladin one of those Paladin Paragon Pathes that grant adjacent allies defensive benefits. I think the Justicar is a good example. No real incentive to flank enemies, it's best to stay adjacent to your allies instead. But then - both Warlord and Paladin are good at melee combat, and a Warlord does work well as a secondary defender - so even without combat advantage, the "Artillery" strikers and the Wizard would be well protected... (and a Staff Wizard might also risk wading into melee due to the Staffs defensive benefits.) [/QUOTE]
