And there are many subbuilds of classes which seem to be more of another role. I don't know if it is intentional from the designers because they want the classes to have aspects of other roles or if it is some difficult with the design. I think a bit of both. I suppose in the first days the designers didn't know what tehy wanted the roles to do or not to do exactly so they played around a bit and watched what happened. Now it is to late to pull back - there are to many powers which don't fulfill the role of the class exactly.So when you say s.th. is not a controller-specialty because other classes do the same is the same argument as when I say high damage is not a striker thing because I can build a Fighter who as a defender has the same damage per round as most strikers. If you want to discuss what is the stick of a controller with the idea to make one yourself you should ask what should a controller do - not what do actual controllers. Look at the parts of existing classes which do their job fine and ignore the parts which play with sticks of other roles...</blockquote>
