In any campaign with Magic Items, high level martials are capable of a lot more tricks than just hitting things more. The Casters can certainly pull out more impressive tricks, but they're limited with slots (I cleave pretty closely to the longer adventuring day, so Nova tactics are generally not a thing in my games).I found the classes quite balanced all through 20 levels. The Swashbuckler/ Fighter was a consistent source of around 75 damage per round (double that on a crit) and could take an absolute pounding with Uncanny Dodge, decent hit dice and a Con of 20 (plus 2 epic boons of health and invulnerability).The casters could pull out some neat tricks, but the Fighter/ Swashbuckler was the reliable beatstick (who never failed a Skill check with a DC of less than 25-27, ever thanks to reliable talent and expertise).It's pretty cool to ask for a near impossible Skill check (DC 25), have all the PCs needing a 17+ on the D20 to succeed, and just have the Swashbuckler say 'I made it' without even needing to roll.</blockquote>
