[QUOTE="Lord Zardoz, post: 4060343, member: 704"] I think it will take about 18 months to find out what class is the most dominant. However, you must also keep in mind that the style of play will matter a great deal. - Encounter frequency: Lots of fights favor classes with better healing / Hp, and the most per encounter powers. Low fight frequency skews towards peak damage output, which may skew towards the per day powers of spell casters. - Opponent Types: If the DM skews towards running fights with lots of opponents, battlefield control will be king. If it skews to fights against Elites / Solo types, that will play well towards Strikers. - Party Size: Leaders that give a kick to all allied players will have their abilities magnified if the DM has more people at the table then is expected. I think the greatest risk will be from overpowered per encounter abilities, but we have no idea which class will have the greatest abilities in this regard. I am not too worried about an over powered synergy taking place. Those are apt to be highly situational in nature, as they require that one of each player in your group take one of the classes.
