[QUOTE="Jack99, post: 4030928, member: 53135"] Except that the roles from WoW do not cover specific classes, merely specific types, which 4e designers have stated on several occasions will not be the case with 4e. Let me explain. In 4e, a defender will be a defender no matter what feat and powers he takes. Same goes for the paladin, just as the rogue will be a striker no matter what, etc etc. in WoW, a warrior is not a tank no matter what, he can be, depending on his talent choice. He can just as easily be a dps-machine (aka striker) in WoW, a rogue can be dps, or he can be controller. in WoW, a priest can be a healer, or dps in WoW, a mage can be dps, or controller etc etc etc I am sure you are getting the idea. So therefore, even though the two games use vaguely similar term to define certain roles, which classes does what and how, certainly don't overlap at all times, or even close to. Also, I would like to point out that the roles that come from WoW (taken from other games) are roles named by the players, not the designers. Cheers [/QUOTE]
