[QUOTE="Nahat Anoj, post: 4058889, member: 25075"] If they aren't careful, then I think within each Role there *may* be Classes who are better at performing the Role's functions than others. But when looking across Roles, it will be more difficult, because each Role is designed to perform a different function. For example, a Fighter will always be a better Defender than a Cleric, but a Cleric will always be a better Leader than a Fighter. So I don't think it will be fair to say that one is "better" than the other unless you specify what it is you're talking about. But it may be a better question to ask "Who is the better Defender, a Fighter or a Paladin?" IMO, it's possible one may be slightly better at performing it's role than the other. I trust WotC will do it's best to minimize these differences to the point where they won't obvious to the majority of gamers. I think if you're an obsessive number cruncher with a deep need to create the most optimized character within it's Role (either to have the "best" character or to prove that 4e is broken), then I think you will be able to find a build that is in fact the best for that Role. I just don't believe it will be all that significant to most players (unlike CoDzilla, which is very obvious). [/QUOTE]
