Well, I am not going to fan the fires any further over the whole thing, just gonna let it die a natural death and as any apology I give for my expressed opinion, would be seen as either weakness on my part, or as being insincere...I don't think I will be making one.
However, back to the subject at hand.
I do see where a Chanter would be of great benefit to the group, as CC is always a good thing to have about. Not to mention Slows/Hastes/Clarity along with their damage abilities.
Also a good beefy tank would be helpful, not to do disservice to any of the fair Rangers I have grouped with as you are doing an admirable job, but a good meat sheild is a Rogue's best friend
