It might well be hailed as traditional striker design - impetus to avoid being near the user combined with high damage output.Is a cleric's Blade Barrier spell Leadery? In the hands of a wizard it seems a perfect Controllery power.Is the paladin's Wrath of the Gods power a Defendery power? It sure looks very Leader themed from here.Different classes can most certainly tap multiple styles of powers, not just for their primary role, and each of those cases actually calls to their stated and known secondary role (fighter striker, cleric controller, paladin leader). But that doesn't change the general theme and purpose of a power.The cleric can _totally_ help out his group with a well timed Blade Barrier, but it doesn't bolster, support, buff, or heal his allies. It just tears the crap out of his enemies and controls the battlefield. Yay.</blockquote>
