When I read your post what stuck out to me is you're a Luke Rattigan. You were bored with being a defender where others were doing more damage, etc.  which didn't jibe with your self image as an optimizer.  4E works pretty well with no real optimization. That's the way it was built.  You complain about your "right" to switch characters when it's anything but. You not only wanted to switch characters, but switch roles, not only messing with continuity, but messing with party effectiveness for everyone involved.  So in comes the hybrid. Again, you say you were only using your ranger powers and stuck in scale? Then you were fighting fulfilling your role as a defender, fighting against the party. You were "stuck in scale" and you call yourself an optimizer? If you're still needed/expected to fill a defender role hybrid talent: Paladin Armor is a no-brainer.   Also, the Wizard and Rogue had a higher AC? It's possible, sure, but did they have to jack their AC because you weren't doing your job as a defender?  It sounds more like communication broke down and everyone was stubborn. Sorry to sound harsh, but your post really rubbed me the wrong way. I can definitely see their side also from the little information you've given us here.</blockquote>
