[QUOTE="Dan'L, post: 4686341, member: 68954"] 1) So the Battlerager build becomes the hardest fighter build to pull down, but perhaps the worst at dealing damage. The Tempest fighter deals perhaps an edge more damage, but trades off for some weaker defenses. A Weapon Fighter builds fall somewhere in the middle, with their own particular strengths and weaknesses balancing between defense and damage depending on the 1- or 2- handed choice. Not really seeing the problem? 2) I'm not sure why Fighters SHOULDN'T be the no-competition best defenders, really. They are the core of the concept. The other defender classes are there to give defender-with-an-edge-of-something-else. 3) There is no way that any of the fighter builds comes anywhere close to the regular average damage outlay of the PHB striker classes. Fighters almost exclusively target AC, and do little more than weapon + ability modifier damage. The strikers often target weaker defenses and get to add their bonus damage dice to really lay on the hurt. -Dan'L [/QUOTE]
