I don't see why one class can't have both paths.
A character who chooses to focus on heavy armor and heavy weapons wouldn't have as strong of magic.
A character who chooses to strengthen their magic would give up the benefits of heavy armor and would be left to fight with staves.
But either way you would be utilizing the same basic pool of abilities.

Just because you're proficient with heavy armor doesn't necessarily mean you have to wear it. I've played plenty of Clerics in both 3e & 4e that wore cloth (or no) armor and wielded a quarterstaff instead of a mace. It's all about the choices you make, not the choices you have. You can have a thousand options, but you can only choose one at a time; and that's the way it SHOULD be.

Gotta be paladin, you get it all - spells, big armor and weapons, unique special abilities, and some really cool roleplaying hooks. Rangers are a close second, though I've never really agreed with them getting spells... I think they were at their finest in 3.5 with a lot of skill points and good fighting and stealth.
Wizards should be awesome, and often are fun... but there's always been something lacking. I think it's that magic in stories is fantastic, and in D&D it's rather mundane....

I like Warlord and Bard. Perhaps more so Bard although I never cared for the whole "musician/dancer" theme that is forced to accompany their basic skills and role. I enjoy having lots of skill options and in battle primarily strengthening my allies.
In fact, I would like it very much if there was a class that really strengthened the concept of giving your allies bonuses and maybe even getting to choose which bonuses to give which allies at which time while outside of battle primarily...
