Lets look at a 10th level battlemaster 2014 vs 2024.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">4 second winds vs 1</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Weapon Mastery allows them to push, prone, get advantage, attack multiple targets, all before we even consider BM maneuvers. This allows for a number of combos. Take for example, I can topple an opponent prone and knock them back with a BM maneuver. If its a melee creature, that basically shuts down its offense for the next round, as just one quick example.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Can now move half speed with no OAs when using a second wind, so basically can get a bit of extra speed when needed and can move around tight scenarios.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Indomitable: At 10th level I get a +10 to my saving throw, so its almost auto-pass (aka legendary resistance 1/day).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Gets an extra skill through student of war.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Know your enemy now actually works in combat (as a bonus action) and can give you immediately useful info about the enemy (resistances, vulnerabilities, etc). It does have a limit now though, but that can be extended with superiority dice.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Various maneuvers have been improved and strengthened. This also includes two manuevers that give fighters additional skill bonuses if they want out of combat power.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Can now add +1d10 to any failed check by spending a second wind, which gives you a lot of versatility when you have a critical check you just need to pass.</li> </ul>Now does this fighter compete with the high level casters, we can debate that. But its clear that this fighter has had a number of solid buffs compare to its predecessor. Its straight up stronger, has more personal healing, it has more tactical options with weapon mastery, indomitable is now a LOT more powerful, maneuvers are better, etc etc.</blockquote>
