Dude... it wasn't my example. Sorry, but, scroll back up. It was other people bringing up Critical Role as a great example of how fighters are the damage kings. I was pointing out that it actually wasn't true and that the fighters are actually sucking hind tit, BEHIND a beastmaster ranger. I mean, okay, he's not exactly optimized, but, then again, the competition is a Beastmaster ranger...You brought it up, dude.
You wanna act like it’s a useful data point when the character was deeply underpowered. It’s not an example that tells us anything about the fighter, which is the claim that you made.
But when everything went right for him, and he had Hex up, even with a bad subclass and a gun that stole some of his attacks for reloading IIRC, he did the most single turn damage in the whole campaign. IIRC Fjord the damage focused spellcaster didn’t even top him in that regard, in the next campaign.
But the subclass and the guns are bad, so most fights didn’t go nearly that well for him.
Maybe look for examples that aren’t using underpowered subclasses and equipment.
You keep harping on dealing the most damage in a single round. So, he gets to be the damage king once out of, what, a couple of thousand rounds of combat? Yay? I guess?
