My issue with most of these classes isn't with what they can do in combat - it's their ability to interface with the other two tiers. The Rogue isn't too bad, I guess, but the Fighter and Barbarian need more skills, at the very least.We always have to have one basic mundane class.
That is the fighter in 5E.
And I have nothing against having just natural abilities in fighter, even if they are at the farthest possible peak of natural abilities.
So fighter has to be fastest in combat(most attacks with extra attack feature), best training(several fighting styles), battlemaster a core concept of class and thoughest(d12 HD).
(Actually, I made a joke in another thread about "Supplement I: Greyhawk" ruining everything... and it's kind of true. That was when the thief class was introduced, at which point a load of non-combat stuff was very clearly siloed away from the Fighter to another class. Part of me thinks the Fighter, Monk, Barbarian, and Rogue should all be one class that can be built a number of different ways... but which has quite a lot of the powers of all these classes.)
