[QUOTE="MYV, post: 6729565, member: 6801591"] while the avenge paladin is VERY strong, the channel divinity power is only usable on ONE target, The barbarian can get all the advantage he wants but lacks the burst potential the extra 1d6 is compensated by a large margin by the extra attacks the fighter gets (considering he can "power attack" on those too) also consider that for example at lvl 6 a human fighter can both max str and have a feat like sentinel, GWM or polearm mastery that grant many extra attacks. while for example paladins and barbs haven't even maxed str yet. at lvl 8 a fighter an close a combo like sentinel+polearm mastery (+riposte manouver!!!)and maxed str granting him MANY extra attacks. a pala and barb can max str and close a 2 feat combo at lvl 12 the earliest, when a fighter already has 3 attacks. In my group we have both an avenging pala and a GWF fighter while the pala can occasionally burst insanely (on a crit for example), the fighter out dmges the pla on a regular basis... the dpr he puts out is insane. and in a realistic scenario where you play in a party, a fighter can benefit more from party sinergy, while a paladin is arguably more "independent" but benefits less from others (while benefitting others greatly) [/QUOTE]
