#1 slathe Feb 17, 2009 21:14:01	There seems to be a lot of buzz about the Avenger and a few other classes previewed at NYCC and other events, has any similar info been seen on the invoker? Any pictures of character sheets from those events for the invoker or bard? I know there's been a preview on the bard, but if there's any other info on either of these classes that isn't DDI only, I'd love if someone could share it. (I did a search through a bit of the forums and couldn't find much myself...)

People have been playing Bards for about a month+, the Invoker for about the same amount of time up to 3rd level/both paths. Go hit up the Leader forum for people chatting it up about the Bard. Invoker is a little sparser in info, but they play like a Tank Wizard. Fun, but not as flexible as a Wizard in some ways.
