[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 6149900, member: 82106"] My experence is like Klaus's, the aggressive strikers are basically 'defending by annihilation'. I have a party right now that consists of a Goliath Rageblood, a Minotaur Rageblood, a Thief, an E-ssassin, and an Avenger. The rageblood barbs can just take absurd amounts of punishment and with their high mobility are really NOT bad 'defenders'. You can say they aren't sticky, but you do NOT want to provoke them, their damage output with an MBA is quite scary, and if they're bloodied, manage a crit, etc, then you are just in a world of hurt. I found it quite amusing the other day when they were almost decimated by kobolds. Shifting really stepped all over those 2's ability to be sticky and the Thief was REALLY unhappy when 4 kobolds showed up at melee range... Anyway, clearly the non-striker roles are fun, but all of them are basically optional. Especially in the current game where most characters can mix in a bit of this or that where needed. [/QUOTE]
