[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8267202, member: 93670"] There's room for disagreement but when the [I]average[/I] damageof greataxe+GWM (not even needing maxed str) & the [I]average[/I] damage of one handed longsword & shield meets or exceeds a maximized disintegrate there is a problem. [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/how-is-this-balanced.679547/post-8250450']This[/URL] post I linked to earlier details the math but there is exactly one way to maximize a spell in 5e & that method is to roll 33-34 on the wild surge table(phb104) as a wild magic sorcerer after qualifying to roll on that table & 6th level spell slots start at 1 slot/long rest at level 11 then jump to 2 at 19/20 while action surge is 1/ short rest from level 2-16 when it jumps to 2/short rest from 18 on. This is an example of the massive gap that does not even need awesome legendary/artifact type weapons to create Quadratic fighters occur in 5e because weapon attacks add attribute mod, weapon mods, & feat/class mods [I]each[/I] attack with many if not all of those scaling upwards independently over the course of gaining more attacks each round. through leveling & adventuring. All of that adds up. Casters by contrast face an increased amount of legendary resistance magic resistance & energy resist/immune while falling further & further behind due to being pegged to a pair of garbage assumptions on dmg249 & the idea that martials will be hamstrung by a situation [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/sane-magic-item-prices.462510/post-8260051']wotc takes pains pushing GMs to avoid[/URL] in multiple publications. The fighter he briefly described is far from minmaxed, the wizard you described by contrast exists beside the quantum ogre and is all things at all times "mate".
