It can do it all day long, with its abilities coming back on a short rest.What can Wizards do in the social pillar? Charm person? That simply grants advantage to Cha checks (and the Wizard likely dumped Charisma anyway) AND it angers the NPC after a minute anyway. Exploration pillar you can Detect Magic (situationally useful, but uses concentration) or cast Fly to get over obstacles (burning a precious 3rd level slot) and similar stuff.All of which is resource intensive (high level slots or concentration), and meanwhile the above Fighter is STILL better than you in at will DPR with GWM, and all class features coming back on a short rest!You keep discounting Fighters, when the problem isn't Fighters. It's just how you've seen them played. Players who play Fighters (or Barbs) generally dont care for much else other than 'hit things hard'. If they want to create PCs that dominate outside the combat pillar, they can easily. It's just that most choose not to.</blockquote>
