I posted something similar to this a long time back, but under the thread necromancy rules I decided to start a new topic.
How would you make a 4-man party, that fulfills the traditional roles (tank, skillmonkey, blaster and healer/buffer), but that can run all day (i.e. not burdened with daily abilities or needing to replenish spells).
Here's my lineup (bear in mind that I don't use ToB, MoI or psionics):
Tank: Fighter (yes, boring old fighter, but the Barbarian, Paladin and Knight all have dailies)
Skillmonkey: Facotum (yes, some of his abilties are dailies, but his per encounter abilities counter this IMHO)
Blaster: Dragonfire Adept (or possibly Warlock)
Healer/buffer: Binder (binding the vestige that gives unlimited healing between encounters)
...as far as I can see, this party's main weakness would be in-combat healing, but this could be boosted with magic items. With the right combination of Invocations and bound Vestiges, they should be able to hold their own with debuffing and battlefied control. If they all have Rings of Sustenance (or are Elves, or Warforged or similar) their downtime per day should be miniscule.
Now, I'm sure the optimizers could blow my offering our of the water, so have at it! :smallsmile:
