In 4e, most charop discussions pointed to the twin-strike Ranger as a top-tier class, because despite being somewhat boring and repetitive in play, it was at the absolute top of the dpr charts. Well, the closest 5e has to the twin-strike Ranger is the fighter, who is also somewhat repetitive and could even be seen as boring, but via stacking a huge number of attacks with the right feat and equipment choices, can surpass any other class in the game for single target damage. A level 20 greatweapon fighter with the right weapon and feats is doing absolutely insane damage. Much higher than any caster, and higher than any other martial class as well.Despite this, I often see people argue that the 5e fighter is somehow "underpowered." It really isn't. It might not be super interesting if you're looking for a class that gives you a lot of interesting tactical decisions, but dealing more damage than anyone else is a pretty valuable niche, and one the fighter stakes a strong claim to.</blockquote>
