[QUOTE="Mengu, post: 5628337, member: 65726"] Yes, we did need it. The controller role is still rather nebulous. By my reckoning, the Bladesinger is the best definition for what a controller might be doing. Hunter was the latest closest thing, but Bladesinger blows that out of the water. You can focus fire *and* control. That's currently the best kind of team playing controller there is, and I can be on board with that concept as a new definition for control. Invokers got some of that goodness with powers like Thunder of Judgment, but not near enough to the mark. I would rather they do both. I love seeing content like the Bladesinger, it's pretty much what I've been wanting for the controller. I tried out the Hunter, and I've been fairly pleased with it, but I was unhappy with my inability to help the team focus fire, whenever I wanted to "control" a target. I'll be happy to try out a Bladesinger as soon as it hits the CB. I also want some of the shortcomings of existing classes, races, items, etc. get fixed (and I mean fixed, not patched). Like many a consumer, I want to have my cake and eat it too. And someone give UngeheuerLich xp for the Nasreddin Hodja story for me. I apparently need to spread the love. You can't please everyone all the time, but you *can* please some of the people some of the time. [/QUOTE]
