I learned quickly. If I won inititative, I'd usually start out with a ranged attack, Sky Flourish.Your point of relying on the druid is a very good point. But our defender is all over the place on the battlefield. Our only defender is a swordmage. She's usually popping around the battlefield teleporting, so she does set my rogue up sometimes for CA (and my rogue sets her up, via, Sneak in the Attack). But the swordmage is more of a divide-and-conquer type defender- she actually makes a lot of enemies not attack her (via, White Lotus Riposte)- but I guess that's ok from what i hear? (she has some marking capability too- she needs more- Sword of Sigilis worked well, and it was a tough choice for her to retrain, but it was a level 1 attack power retrained for a paragon attack power. She does have an Aegis Blade but only comes into play once a day). She's kind of hard to hide behind and hang with, but maybe I'll try to start shifting around with her more, using some of my utilities?It's kind of an odd group. We used to get beat down at heroic, but now everything seems to have come to fruition. Our barbarian in sort of defender-like now. He multiclassed and took Dreadnaught, and it really rounded him out well. But he takes off a lot too!My rogue is the defender! Kidding.My rogue picks her spots more now, and being a daggermaster now, with the high crit feature, and the high crit feat, and a vicious dagger, and backstabber, and slaying action, she cut enemies really deeply, so now enemies die quicker without having a full chance of beating her down.Wow. I never really thought about charging first. Then I could use a move action with Tumbleset or Escape. And in other cases they'll be zapped somehow like how you stated. That will help a lot. Thanks!I'll have to check out that Cloud of Steel Power.I retrained for Nimble Blade. Her feats are Toughness, Weapon Focus, Backstabber, Slaying Action, Durable, Devastating Critical (p), Rogue Weapon Mastery (p) (bear in mind, we dont use the expertise feats, rather, the +1/+2/+3 thing)Without the Toughness and Durable, she's really squishy.I think your charge idea is going to solve a lot, but everything seems to be less of a problem now that our group has reached paragon. So far, we've had 3 encounters, and shes still got her opening SA in, in 2 of them, even without II, and she never misses her SA.I think things are going to work out. But any more suggestions are welcome.　</blockquote>
