[QUOTE="Fallen Seraph, post: 4031158, member: 57894"] I think one thing not being examined, is we are looking at each class, each player as a separate entity. Obviously when a group of people join a party, there is a reason. One of the most basic reasons is to support eachothers back during a fight. The Warlord is there to give extra support in this area, while the fighter is keeping back opponents with his sword, the ranger is picking off distant enemies, the cleric is healing, the wizard is casting spells and the rogue is backstabbing. The Warlock is the one in the middle, checking out the battlefield, noticing when a player is being pummelled back and then goes to assist. Or he notices a weakness in the enemies attack, the other players have missed and informs them. Or if the battle is truly going badly, he can charge ahead breaking a path in the enemy line giving the rest of the party a chance to escape. If anything he isn't a leader, nor a supporter. He is the guy you want to have a in a pinch, because his tactical-mindset can help win the day. He may not kill as many, nor be as precisely more knowledgeable, but he keeps his eyes and ears open to any advantage that he can give to his party. [/QUOTE]
