There's room for disagreement but when the average damageof greataxe+GWM (not even needing maxed str) & the average damage of one handed longsword & shield meets or exceeds a maximized disintegrate there is a problem. This post I linked to earlier details the math but there is exactly one way to maximize a spell in 5e & that method is to roll 33-34 on the wild surge table(phb104) as a wild magic sorcerer after qualifying to roll on that table & 6th level spell slots start at 1 slot/long rest at level 11 then jump to 2 at 19/20 while action surge is 1/ short rest from level 2-16 when it jumps to 2/short rest from 18 on. This is an example of the massive gap that does not even need awesome legendary/artifact type weapons to createYou post this, but then your argument which has absolutely nothing to do with that claim and isn't even coherent. Plus your claim re: previous editions remains absolutely irrational and the fact that you can't see that is beyond staggering.
ROFL this is the most ridiculous thing I've read on this forum for a while mate. Amazing baseless nonsense-claim.
... Yeah that's why I said "involve concentration".
Quadratic fighters occur in 5e because weapon attacks add attribute mod, weapon mods, & feat/class mods each attack with many if not all of those scaling upwards independently over the course of gaining more attacks each round. through leveling & adventuring. All of that adds up. Casters by contrast face an increased amount of legendary resistance magic resistance & energy resist/immune while falling further & further behind due to being pegged to a pair of garbage assumptions on dmg249 & the idea that martials will be hamstrung by a situation wotc takes pains pushing GMs to avoid in multiple publications.
The fighter he briefly described is far from minmaxed, the wizard you described by contrast exists beside the quantum ogre and is all things at all times "mate". Why the resistance to supporting your position in good faith discussion?Mate, if you're not even going to be honest about your min-maxed Fighter being min-maxed, then that's not much incentive to get into a min-max battle with you is it?
