Funny thing is that for D&D 4th ed. there were 6 types of armor: cloth, leather, hide, chainmail, scalemail, and plate. Paladin was the only class that started the game being able to wear plate. Fighters had to take a feat in order to get up to plate because they started with scalemail.
Check out what mechanics Wizards of the Coast created in PDF's of Player's Handbook 1,2,&3, Martial Power 1&2, Arcane Power, Divine Power, Primal Power, and Psionic Power for what you say about Roles, Classes, Builds or Paragon Paths isn't how 4th edition works.
I do the same as OP. I don't like the "here, have some more adds" mechanic of most boss fights in Neverwinter and because the Zen store is so expensive, I found Rift to give me more bang for my buck. I want to like this game more than all of the other games I play because of the D&D logo, but I'm having a hard time liking…
I think I saw a video of a developer say they tune the boss fight difficulty to just higher than what the developers can get through because they just know the players will still be able to get through the boss fight because the player has more time and effort to spend on getting through the boss fight.
I don't want to see another G**-D*** word typed in this thread unless you have downloaded and looked at PDF's of Player's Handbook 1,2,&3, Martial Power 1&2, Arcane Power, Divine Power, Primal Power, & Psionic Power, so you can know the definition, differences and relationships of these terms: Role, Class, Build, & Paragon…
The only class that has a companion that has already been created by Wizards of the Coast in Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition is the Shaman (Primal Leader).
I can't believe I'm having to do this again, but here I go... A list of MOST not all of the D&D 4th edition official classes and their power sources and their roles: Defenders: Martial=Fighter, Divine=Paladin, Arcane=Swordmage, Primal=Warden, Psionic=Battlemind Strikers: Martial=Ranger, Martial=Rogue, Divine=Avenger,…
I've been playing the latest edition of D&D for 17 years. 1. I've seen it typed that Neverwinter is not necessarily trying to copy 4th edition, but instead Neverwinter is allowed to call what they are developing "their own version". Why are you using the words: "powers" and "paragon path" that no other edition had before…
I'm commenting in hopes to bump this thread. I too believe I have seen a video of a developer saying they would put out a new class about once every 2 months.
I was attracted to this game because of the D&D logo. The only 2 things I don't like about Neverwinter is lack of classes and paragon paths and bind on equip purps that makes it too easy to get the best gear. I am a PVEer. I'd rather play with people than against them. I like taking down the challenges given to us by the…
Neverwinter uses the same scaling system as WoW. A level 60 white is equal to a 55 green which is equal to a lvl 50 blue and is equal to a 45 purp. I found this out by looking at damages on weapons.
To the O.P.: Druids in 4th end do not heal (much). Druids are controllers. If you want a Primal power source healer then you're looking for the Shaman.
I'd like to see a sword & board Paladin with the Hospitaler paragon path and Chosen epic destiny. I would like to see a bear Shaman for some primal healing (that's for my wife). I'd also like to see a two-weapon ranger for some real dual wielding, Avenger for some real two-hander swinging, Invoker for some real wrath of…

I'm really tired of people getting it wrong. Druids in 4th ed are melee contolers who shape change their asses off. Druids do not heal in 4th ed. Monks use the psionic power source. True multi-classing in 4th ed is actually called Hybriding where you level 2 classes at the same time.
Paladin is my favorite class also. Paladin is not within Fighter (martial defender) or Cleric (divine leader). The Paladin is its own base class (divine defender).
Thanks for coming in to my rescue, people-who-also-have-4th-ed-knowledge. I'm having to post from my phone. I made this thread because there were comments in other threads that were getting it wrong.
paths within that class (sometimes but not always limited to a build). 10 more levels later you would choose your epic destiny. It didn't matter what class you were for epic destinies so long as you met the requirements.
In the 4th edition of D&D this is how you would create a character: First you would choose your role: Defender, Striker, Controller, or Leader Second you would choose your Power Source: Martial, Arcane, Divine, Primal, or Psionic That usually told you what you which class you were plating: Fighter (martial defender),…
