Iron Will).Striker:Two weapon fighting Rogue works great.  Flank the enemies that are attacking your Tank and start slicing.  Make sure you have a medium Con for extra hp.  It's also a good idea to use the same weapon in each hand (Short swords for example) so that you get double-mileage out of any weapon focus or improved critical feats you take.  One of the better Strikers you can build is a Fighter focused on archery (d20pfsrd.com has a few build ideas for this).  I don't really ever play Controllers or Healers, so I can't help you with those.</blockquote>
