My rogue is my favorite character...I do 70% of my damage in the first 5 seconds of combat, and then hit that limit of energy - then it's slower going and faster dying!
I like having paladins in my group, but I coulnd't stand mine, with his donkey kong hammer and his attacking every 5 seconds for very little damage (never got him past 10). Yeah he can heal, but I don't like to be in combat that long - I like to crit on an ambush and have it done with in 5 seconds
