D&D 5E A simple poll

What do?

As I continue to say, I'm not trying to ruin anyone else's fun, just looking to get to have mine. Buff martials.

Also the ranger, I guess.

I chose “buff martial” because the game could always use more fun options, but overall I haven’t seen it be a problem in the game, other than I haven’t seen anyone play a very effective Ranger yet - especially one with an animal companion.

I've read lots of threads about this, and I still contend: there isn't really a problem. Tempest in a teapot, and all that.

I chose ‘both’ but it’s more ‘buff martials, nerf wizard specifically’ because IMO while most casters are fine wizard needs to be reined in some, my own preferred method to do this would be to take away its non-cantrip offensive spells and just make it a pure utility caster.

 

[Minigiant]

There is a no neither option.

I don't think you need to change anything about the wizard class to get it to play the way you describe. I'm playing an Abjurer right now, and he's all about buffs and battlefield control. I can't remember the last time I tried to cast lightning bolt or whatever...Haste and Counterspell are his meat and potatoes.

Nerf (restrict) casters.

This is true. There is no problem in the game as written when run RAW.

After 8 years, If you don’t have house rule your game for the subject, the situation should not be that much bad!
Could wait another two years for the great revision!
