IMHO five Leaders (same class, different builds) would be able to buff each other into Striker-level damage.Five Clerics, three with Righteous Brand, two with Astral Seal? +5 to hit with all Encounter powers, -2 to opponent's defenses, free healing with every attack -- yes please! ... but if they were all the same build, that could very well suck. It's funny, my Wizard is usually the last one standing in the toughest fights, and he's usually the king of overall damage. It's a challenging class, but it can be made VERY capable.Someone on the CharOpt forum posted about the multiplicative effect of stacked area damage, and posited that a group of Controllers could out-damage Strikers on a per-target basis, if they could consistently target 2 or more opponents per attack. With the Invoker's power list, I think this has become trivial, so I'd argue even a group of Controllers is playable. All Wizards would seem to lack melee power, but consider how nicely Thunderwave works to set up the next dude's area attack.- - -Playing all Warlocks would suck, if their Curses were mutually exclusive.IMHO all Defenders could suck, but I guess they could take turns being "it", and thereby help spread the damage around.Cheers, -- N</blockquote>
