However it isn't because 3.X is "broken" it is because there is an issue of the variety of some classes can play vs. others that can't. This is mostly known as the tier system of power but it really boils down to the versatility of options, customization, and ability to extract other resources. The tier ones basically have all three of these aspects going on being able to grow outside of leveling and have vast amounts of options to change up or expand their abilities while tier fours and below on the other hand are waiting for either hand outs from the DM in the game or the next level to grow. A wizard can be a buffer/debuffer, control/enabler, crafter, and even a bit of blaster. A cleric can be a buffer tank, healer, enabler, debuffer, leader, and also a blaster. A barbarian though really only can be a ubercharger or a lockdown character. While this doesn't necessarily mean wizards and clerics will always be better than barbarians it does mean the player that chooses a Wizard or Cleric can have more options to cope with challenges and expand in times when the player with a Barbarian can't.</p></blockquote><p></p>
