They equaled out the XP totals and tried to make the classes relatively balanced with one another, but in the long run they basically left spells and TBH, the magic system, that really made the caster / Noncaster dichotomy. Way back from the days when it really was not expected player saw levels past 10th was when spells like Gate, Teleport Without Error, Maze, Otto’s Irresistible dance, Imprisonment and  Forcecage were placed on the spell lists. Wotc brought them to the new edition and while they tried to balance them individually, they did not realize that spells like those create a huge rift of Have and Have not between the classes at those levels of play.As I said before, THIS is why 4E levels 1-30 is going to be like 3E levels 3-14.</blockquote>
