[QUOTE="Kordeth, post: 4078818, member: 5036"] Umm...how is "standing in front kicking behind and leaving the wizard to take names" [i]not[/i] the same thing as "standing around and getting hit while everyone else kills the monsters?" I'm not trying to be snarky, but these seem to be pretty much the same sentiment. And given that the fighter's at-will abilities are both about crowd-control and her encounter power is all about mobility, I don't really see the fighter "standing around" all that much. Seems she's got a pretty good set of abilities to put herself wherever the thickest press of bad guys is, wade in, and start smacking fools around. Also: Don't see where you're getting this.
