That said, I really hope they make this true for the spellcasters and offensive fighters.

In almost every MMO I've played, the tank and healer classes are almost always a necessity, but you could generally go without a spellcaster or an offensive fighter.

I'm sure Sigil will have some creative ways of implementing each job type though.
I agree completely, surviving an encounter when a group has lost a member, be it a tank, a healer or a DPSer, should be a test of the groups adaptability. It would be a pitty for any class/role to be deemed expendable.
