[QUOTE="Vaslov, post: 4378688, member: 37953"] Replace the bard! Noooo! :eek: I'm sure Bard will get it's due when it comes in PBH #whatever. Agreed. Ranged combat does seem to gimp what warlords can do. I've been brainstorming about how to help out the ranged side of things, but so far nothing has come up. I'm also curious how well warlords will do as we level. We will still need to hit as we level up which for most powers means kicking up Strength. But our powers are tied to INT or CHA. It could be a bad case of MAD, but before declaring that I want to give it a run through. Some of these things read worse than they run. If there are any out there that have played warlords in the paragon or above tiers I would be very interested in your experiences. Ranged combat has to be more common as you hit level 10+. How did the class run? That does make it a bit more of a challenge. I like the macro idea! I'm having fun coming up with little verbal queues to my actions. 'Hey Mage! Don't let that kobold get you down. You stand up and nuke his :D' = healing. This is a healing/buffing class. By all accounts I will agree that those that enjoy this type of role are in the minority, but we are out there. As for the archtypes I can think of a few, but I'm sure others would see the same characters in another light. (i.e. oh, he's a great fighter, etc). The examples that come to my mind include Simon of [I]Memory, Sorrow and Thorn and [/I]Strum Brightblade (yeah, I know. Paladin icon. Think of this as Strum Pre-return of the gods. Or any of the DL Knight groups for that matter. I'm sure I'll be sent to the dog house for even suggesting it.). [/QUOTE]
