heck, i was driving myself nuts last night with my claws stalker in the arachnos wedding cake base, because focus kept knocking enemies off the ledges but not finishing them, but it still looked cool enough that i didnt change my chain to something that wouldn't raise my blood pressure. |

Actually, I think in this sort of game, and in City of Heroes in particular, an adventurer is you really applies. That is to say, the most iconic, the most representative, the most amazing character in the entire game... Is YOUR character. Not the developers' character that you're given control of, not one specific character out of a selection of handful. YOUR character, the one that you wrote, that you designed, that you played. Few games manage to capture that in actual, real sense.
A good example of such a game would actually be Mass Effect. Who is the most iconic character in that game? Commander Shepard, of course! Say, who IS Commander Shepard? I dunno... Is he black? Does he have a beard? Is his hair long? Is he even... A he? Again, I don't know. My Shepard ended up unintentionally looking vaguely like Wes Studi. But you know what? In my mind, THAT is what Shepard looks like, and it throws me for a serious loop when I see in-game movies other people make because "Gah! Who is that! That's not Shepard! Who is that woman!?!"
City of Heroes is a lot like this. What is most representative about the game is the things I make, the characters I play. It's not "a" Blaster, it's MY Blaster. It's not "a" Mastermind, it's MY Mastermind.
And I love the game for it

Well, I stand corrected then. In that case, I dunno if there really can be just one AT.

Ritualists can summon stationary spirits, but they generally have a very long range, and have a much wider array of abilities than the Necromancer minions. (Necromancer minions basically attack and die. Some have ranged attacks, and some spawn a different minion when they die, but that's really all they do. Spirits can also have fairly potent buffs, debuffs, and mezzes, and AFAIK their range is longer than any enemy.)
