[QUOTE="Mengu, post: 5311305, member: 65726"] In my experience it is. In one of our groups, we have 3 nature people, and 0 arcana people, and that weakness has cost us a few tasks we were unable to accomplish, and a few tasks we couldn't complete. In a lot of LFR games with random people, we run into this all the time, where we have no charisma people and fail social checks, or no wisdom people and we fail a nature/perception themed skill challenge. When you get to design a party from scratch minimizing overlap and maximizing coverage just yields a fuller experience in term of what you can do. I'd make sure you have all mental stats covered as a primary or secondary in the party. Strength and Dexterity usually take care of themselves, though I've seen cases where a cobbled together group had no dexterity, very poor initiative, and started most encounters with half the party bloodied from monsters gaining initiative. Constitution is probably the least important stat to cover, though a good candidate for Comrades' Succor is always appreciated. And some stats/skills, are good to have double coverage for, such as Wisdom due to Perception and Insight. I think a Warforged Greatweapon Fighter could work quite nicely, though if you go Str/Con, there really isn't that much help from him for skill coverage compared to the Swordmage, so at that point it really doesn't make too much difference which one you pick. As a matter of fact, Deva, Eladrin or Human swordmage would likely contribute more to skill challenges than the Warforged. [/QUOTE]
