I played several different classes. Wizards generally had longer range, but everyone had the same basic mix of daily awesome, encounter good and at will if you ran out of the others. Style just depended on role (control vs defender vs striker, etc) and options.The recession certainly didnt help.
If you think a Sword and Board fighter in 4e plays at all like a wizard I just do not know what to say. No really.
Vast difference... there is similarity you get a choice of doing something big bold and climactic once in a while.
It doesnt do attrition combat well... is attrition combat the essence of D&D? Where as Heroic center piece battles are definitely not since a spell caster could one shot an encounter or simply decide we win In many editions (paladins even seem able to in 5e) ARE you sure that doesn't relate to primacy of magic? If you take away the trivializing of otherwise big battles....To the extent that you wish to consider that, you have to pay attention to what people are saying; you see it here.
Yup similar frequency to contribute but not at all contributing the same things nor accomplishing the same effects. Fighters cannot have big climactic things.... it steps on the toes of casters by any other name would smell well the same.I played several different classes.

I'm not saying 4E was a bad game (although I admit I burned out on it, especially high level play), but to me it didn't feel like D&D. I don't think that has anything to do with magic vs martial, it was the basic structure that changed. I understand why they did it, they were trying to have better balance between classes.
Really? Because I remember differently.Yup similar frequency to contribute but not at all contributing the same things nor accomplishing the same effects. Fighters cannot have big climactic things.... it steps on the toes of casters by any other name would smell well the same.

Also, like the Apple Newton, the problem wasn't the primacy of magic.
