That's news to me. Any source handy?drothgery said:I'm pretty sure they also mentioned a druid would be a leader either explicitly or implicitly by saying they can heal and can sub for a cleric, and that the barbarian:druid relationship is analagous to paladin:cleric.
The problem with pegging the Druid is that he's so multi-talented in 3E he really could end up in any 4E Role by just tilting him one way or the other. I kind of like him for Controller, if only because that's one Role we really need some more options in. Likewise, everyone keeps calling the Barbarian for Defender, but I don't think Striker is out of the question. In 3E he's much more about mobility and bringing the hurt than holding the line.
Commonblade: good calls on the Shadow power classes. I hadn't given them a lot of thought yet, but I think your guesses are good ones. I particularly like Necromancer as a Leader; an interesting twist. I'm surprised you didn't mention Bard in your list of guesses though. And I think their Primal Controller will be called Sorcerer, not Geomancer, for marketing reasons if nothing else.
