My wiz/rogue I made for buffs, support, and CC. If CC is still remotely viable in u9, I will still continue to carry Extend for the buffing aspects. If not, it's retirement. I don't want to be pigeonholed into a DPS role I didn't want when I built the character. I refuse to go pale master.
In addition, I'm a halfling and did take Hero's Companion, though I almost never see anyone comment when I use it on them.
