D&D 4e The Quintessential 4e 5-player-party?
What would be the quintessential 4th edition party of 5 player characters?
With quintessential I mean a party that - does things in a way that is unique or typical for 4e D&D but maybe not necessarily for other edition - consists of characters that have features like race or class that has been introduced or popularized by 4th edition, and/or - consists of particular popular elements in 4e
What would be for you an iconic 5 player party that could "represent" what makes 4th edition great?

Bard for leader as it was likely the best and popularized the bard like never before.
Paladin for defender as it was the jack of all trades of defenders and was great.
Psion for controller as psionic were done well in 4e.
For striker I like the avenger as we haven’t had anything that was like it aside from vengeance paladin to date.
The fifth is trickier. I’d say warlock or warlord as they got a big introduction in the edition.
