[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4208528, member: 710"] As all analogies, one has to be careful with over-using it. There are "pieces" that people can't capture - that group of Goblin Minions? Sure, the Cleric or the Fighter could try to take them out. But it would be a lot more effective if the Wizard would throw a ranged area effect at them. That Ogre Warrior? Sure, the Wizard could try hammering it with fireballs. But the truth is, the Fighter is much better suited to deal with, with the Cleric using some buff powers to make life for the Fighter easier (and longer). (And the Wizard certainly should not go into melee with it, either). That's the basic idea in the "role diversification". Everyone has different tasks he is best suited for. There are areas a certain class or role shines in, because it's their primary job to handle them.
