[QUOTE="Eldragon, post: 5391614, member: 3962"] This is why I lean more towards the Assault swordmage than shielding. But it is also highly dependent upon your DM and party makeup. An Assault Swordmage can set the Rogue up for their sneak attack. Which equates to a whole lot of damage, and most DMs will get tired of being set up for sneak attacks very quickly. Course the DM will probably choose to just kill the rogue off instead of going after the swordmage. But if you DM likes to have just 1 or 2 hard hitting monsters in an encounter, the shielding swordmage is going to be better without question. [/QUOTE]
