Encounter powers are not the same as powers that require a short rest. Remember that in 4e, an encounter power was recharged after a short rest of 15 or so minutes, while in 5E a short rest is one hour. In the average dungeon, I would probably allow no more than one short rest, as there is likely to be only a scant number of times when a party can rest for an entire hour without being interrupted.2. You are comparing expending absolutely everything for the fighter to a ranger that will still have quite a few options after that. What happens to the fighter's damage output after that 5th round? What happens to the ranger's? A fight could easily last longer than that, and it would be deeply foolish for a fighter to expend all of his options on one flurry of damage. 3. Even with all of this in mind, I can still be ok with a fighter being a better archer than a ranger, simply because that's all a fighter does is deal damage and take it. A ranger has favored enemies, favored terrain, a whole host of other abilities as well as spells, while a battlemaster fighter can simply sit there and bash enemies in. They aren't truly comparable and they shouldn't be.</blockquote>
