Wizards can deal 10d6 damage at 8th level without making an attack roll and without having to trigger a condition, as sneak attack requires.Wizards literally just point and click. Martials require a number of conditions to function: They need to close into melee range, putting them toe to toe with monsters. They must make attack rolls to hit. And, often times, they must have a magic weapon or other special equipment just to deal with monsters with resistances to non-magic weapons.Out of the box, casters get the tools to deal with any potential problems. Casters get every possible avenue to provide solutions, inside and out of combat. Martials like fighters rarely get options to be useful outside of combat as well, further limiting their utility in a game.</blockquote>
