I'm still talking about mechanical effectiveness. Just in a broader context.
For example, one of the most broken abilities I'd ever seen (or so I thought) was the warlock's eldritch blast. Several d6 of damage at will? You could use it like a mining drill. You could do an infinite amount of damage very easily. The thing that sold me on it was the half damage against objects and slow progression. Is this mechanical? Yes. Is it in the context of a CR appropriate combat encounter? Not really.
*Hands Ahenosis an ordinary greatsword* 2d6 + 1.5*Strength modifier damage at will. You could use it like a mining drill. You could do an infinite amount of damage very easily.
One's no more broken than the other.
