[QUOTE="Thasmodious, post: 4718610, member: 63272"] Interesting question. And this is something I like about roles. You have options, that continue to expand, as to how to fill out a role in a group if you take that approach in character creation. Right now, I would say: Defender: Warden. Fighters are my favorite class but I've played them. I've never liked Paladins. The Warden looks interesting and being new and shiny, I haven't seen one in play really and I like the look of the class. Striker: Sorcerer - wild mage. I love wild mages. I love wild mages as strikers. "I'm awesomely random but I always bring the pain." Good stuff. Leader: Bard. Leader isn't my preferred role based on the classes so far and never really has been, except as wizard sometimes defaulted as 'party leader' in the old days. Bards look like a lot of fun and I've always enjoyed playing them and coloring up the group with some original goofy poetry and songs. Clerics are fine and I'll play them, but my clerics usually come about as concept first characters, rather than plug a hole types. Warlords don't really do it for me. Controller: Wizard multiclassed fighter. A dwarf. Racial paragon path. A crazy tough dwarf who likes to run up to big bads, smack them with a maul and then drop close bursts and blasts and expeditious retreat or dimension door to some other crowded area of the battlefield. I also have a couple of cool concepts for invokers I'd like to try out. [/QUOTE]
