In most of my 3e campaigns, the barbarian has often been one of the first characters to fall in each combat. Sure, they have lots of hp, but their AC sucks, and they tend to be the ones charging in ahead of everyone else which leads to opponents focusing attacks on them.I've heard this before, but I've never understood it; what's "striker-ish" about barbarians? They're not "glass cannons", they're big, m.f.in' front-line brutes with hit points to spare....
The W will likely be a War[somethingorother].
They might put a couple of specialist wizards in the Arcane Power book; probably not the illusionist though.
