[QUOTE="Sadras, post: 6883515, member: 6688277"] In that kind of a scenario, [B]craploads[/B] is the right answer. I've never tested this, but I'm willing to put my head on the block and say over 100 waves easy provided the orcs don't get smarter and retreat. So between 100 waves and endless! Fatigue would most likely kick in first. You have 3 PCs with a combined 7 attacks with the two warriors getting around +8/+9 (if not more) to hit against AC13. That is around 20% or less of a chance to miss. They're dropping a wave more often than not EVERY round. And those that remain require a 15 or higher to hit. As @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=463"]S'mon[/URL][/U][/B][/I] said the AC would be 20 or more. Our Battlemaster is level 9, and his Armour Class is 20/21. My experience with a Barbarian is strictly theory-crafted. No one has yet selected to play a Barbie at out table, but on paper he looks like a beast. And healed a LOT, don't forget the support class which will also be 12TH level. Regarding Bounded Accuracy, it mostly depends on the initiative order. That is key. All I'm saying that IMHO the 5e Cleave option is not half as impactful as you suggest, that is all. In a pretty specific scenario sure the Cleave is a great feature, but for the most part not really.
