What class are you least likely to play in 4e?

I voted cleric (forgetting to log in first, so my name doesn't show up on the votes for it...).
It's not that I don't like leader classes: my next character is almost certainly a Tactical Warlord, and I expect I'll play a Bard at some point. (That said, the Artificer doesn't really appeal to me either, so I'm at 50/50 on the Leaders.)
For me, it's just that the Divine classes are the ones that appeal least to me, for reasons more to do with flavour than mechanics. I'm only slightly more likely to play a Paladin because I managed to come up with a character concept or two that struck me as fun enough to try at some point.

I voted wizard as what I think of a wizard and what 4E has titled a "Wizard" are two completely different things. It's not just a case of nerfing (wizard's needed to be brought into line at higher levels in my opinion), it's the overall effect of the mechanics and the feel that these transpose to.
As for the Warlord, I'm playing one and it's like playing a puppet master on the field of battle. It certainly embodies the "team" aspect of 4E and so far has been a lot of fun to "play". I can understand where people are coming from though with the warlord, because when you have all the minis out on the battlemap, and you're directing and co-ordinating the group's attacks, it can feel a little like a boardgame. The best options are pretty obvious and the attack sequence routines that you get the party to do can turn into macros. Still, it is fun to play.

4 editions of D&D and I still hate Clerics. I'm surprised that Warlords aren't getting love. I think they are a great Leader alternative and they are actually one of my favorite classes to play in 4e.

I really don't have a problem with any of the classes, but if I had to pick one, I would go with paladin (followed by cleric). I just don't feel that inspired by the divine classes like I do with the martial, arcane, and (now) primal classes. Hopefully, upcoming supplements and Dragon will improve on the Divine classes.

Hmm... Interesting to see such an aversion towards Divine Classes not for mechanical reasons but mainly just don't like Divine-oriented characters.
