D&D 5E Greatswords Vs Polearms

[clarence1]

Hello there. I did a quick google search and did not find any similar threads.

The main focus is to maximise DPR

Assume that this is Fighter dipping into Warlock for the initial scenario

With 2 Characters of the same level, picking feats/talents/stats as they go along to maximise DPR, which comes out on top? a Polearm user or a Greatsword user?

For the second scenario, abandon the fixed parameters of class and simply compare a greatsword vs polearm user with whichever class combination you can find that maximises the DPR

Thanks for any and all contributions!

Optimisation threads should go in that forum: http://www.enworld.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?363-Character-Builds-amp-Optimization

Cheers!

Ack my bad. Should I delete this thread then? Or could a mod move this thread over? My sincere apologies.
