i have to agree with lamhirh and gifthorse here. in our nm battles we usually have multiple thm and con in the party but they have their own distinct role the same as the gla's. we usually have a thm for debuffs a thm for nuking in br's and one healing. that's one class but it has 3 different roles. we have a con healing and usually another thm that is buffing the party and healing in between. those are roles they play from within their classes. my role is a 50 pug that deals damage and since i have resurrect because i have leveled my thm up also i resurrect my allies that are on the front line since it's easier to take me out of the battle for a few seconds to get my fallen ally up than it is to bring a mage close enough to die. that is my role in the party. my class is pug but my role is different in the battle. we also have one gladiator that is main tank so has abilities set to tank while the other uses incap moves. that is just a few things i see when i see roles in the party. just because you have a class does not mean you will always fill the same role inside the party.

i am not trying to start an argument, but just sayin that just because we are a certain class does not make our roles set in a given situation.
