Then do it Rain, I don't mind rebuilding my healer... if we need a leader or try out a new class... I am like you, I normally wait to see what the group needs more before I create my character.

Just for clarification, I meant I want to play it as much as I want to play my Deva Bard. I'm playing him like a Magic Warlord, which I'm excited about.

However, he's HARDLY healing focused. He actually plays more like a Controller than anything, so having 2 leaders might not be a bad thing.

But if you don't want to share Leader duties, I can make a REAL controller, not a cheap knock-off ^-^ Thoughts?

I don't mind sharing leader duties. I am still new to the system, and I am alittle confused on what it means to be a leader any way... form where I stand it is just a support character.

Ether way is fine.

Why do you have to play a character you've played before? Why not make something new and unique?

EDIT: And something that's not dark and gloomy?

I just have a thing with the shadowfell, being part of it opens up allot of resistance gaining feats and feats that let you gain undead traits that help ALLOT.

Nah, don't worry about it. I got plenty. I just need to get a hold of an admin who can do it for me. Thanks for the offer though!

Truth be told, I will either change my character most likely if the party has too much of a gloomy feel - my character would just not fit in at all. All this talk of nethermancy and vampires and such isn't quite as 'heroic' as Shaka would like it to be.

Also, we have plenty of gold in the guild account which is just sitting there gathering dust, so people needn't donate any more.

I know! I left this morning, and there were 7 posts. I come back and there are nearly 50. It's like I just dropped a steak in a shark tank over here!

Sorry, most of the gloom is me. now I'm going to go put on all black, go to a coffee shop, and work on my crappy poetry about the darkness in my soul. lol

Ether way is fine.

First and foremost, a Leader provides healing for the party. No other role provides that. As a class feature, Leaders can heal twice an encounter, or three times at level 16+.

Which SEEMS cool, but depending on how dice rolls go, 2 heals might not be enough in an encounter. Having two leaders guarantees 4.

You can supplement your classed-based healing powers (Healing Word, Inspiring Word, Majestic Word, Healing Spirit, etc) with more powers. Like, Clerics can get a 2nd level daily utility power of Cure Minor Wounds, and a 6th level daily utility power of Cure Serious Wounds. With only one Leader, one might find one's self gravitating towards these powers, to pick up the slack of healing. And it's not a bad character at all, and your party will LOVE you for it, and protect you to their dying breaths.

Having two leaders, however, means that you can focus most of your level-based powers on stuff BESIDES just healing. There isn't nearly so much slack to pick up. Suddenly, your cleric finds himself contributing more to frontline offense, or your shaman can supplement battle with some ranged spells.

Plus, if one Leader goes down due to clever enemy tactics or a lucky shot, the other Leader can heal him/her, rather than the rest of the party freaking out and forcing to give up standard actions on (usually) untrained Heal checks.

You can still have your gloom. I'll just switch over to Murder Nun instead, is all.

*shrugs* I've seen heroic and gloom work well together in a group, so long as the two aren't trying to undermine each other or anything. We are going to have a large group here (truth be told, I was not expecing all 8 slots to fill....I figured we'd just start when we hit four or five lol), so a mixed group is almost to be expected. What ever you want to play more is what you should play biggrin

then why not just call them healer or medic, instead of Leader?

Don't worry about answering that.

I still don't mind sharing the spotlight, I look at it this way, if you have more than one healer the longer the team can run, And the less of a chance that something bad can befall the entire group. So, if you want to create your bard do it, if you want to create your death nun...
