Wasn't the point that I was making.But please quit acting like WotC ignored warlords and their fans completely. They didn't. Can you not even admit that?
4e got a lot of little nods in the PH - HD, Action Surge, Second Wind... Mike was paying attention to the chatter that accompanied the playtest, and 'Inspiring Leader' and a Manuever or two were among those little nods. But, none of it came close to the Warlord, and even with further nudges in that direction, like the PDK, nothing has. I feel more like I've been asked to wait than ignored.
Thus, at this point, we need a full Warlord class, really, I'm increasingly certain, under that name to settle the issue. I'm resigned to the idea that it's going to take a while, we haven't yet seen version one, and the Mystic has been through 3 versions in UA and is still look'n a tad rough.
If an eventual Warlord is good - not merely decent - wonderful, the issue would be settled in my book, and I'd move on to the next, because Warlord fans aren't the only loyal D&Ders out there still under-served. If it's a let-down. Well, IDK, I might just give up on continuing to support 5e - I wouldn't start edition war II (V?) against it or anything, I've seen too much of that to want to initiate it, myself - I'd have to cross that bridge if it ever gets built.
For now, I'd like to keep a little hope and positivity going.
