D&D 5E What class do you think people argue about the most?

[Snarf Zagyg]

There are six things that Snarf hates, seven that are detestable to him:
private eyes (they’re watching you, they see your every move),
the lying tongues of bards,
finesse weapons that shed innocent blood with a dex bonus,
the elven hearts that devise wicked schemes,
feats that are used to optimize combat,
a false witness who lies about the awesomeness of xvarts….

….and a person who needlessly stirs up conflict in enworld.



So yeah, I’d say bards. Always arguing about whether to get rid of the class, or keep the class in order to keep track of the bard lovers for when the revolution comes.

I went with Fighters, Monk and Rangers. Wizard is a good one too, but it's usually because of its relationship with other classes rather than the boring Wizard itself.

Then I saw the Bard class and realized 1) it really doesn't do that, other than having musical instruments as implements

5e is just REALLY bad at having Magic be intertwined with something else. It's always just... a spell slot. It's rarely a thing that FEELS like it's integrated with anything else. A Bard is a caster that knows how to play an instrument, a Bladesinger is just a Wizard who can hold a sword, a Cleric is a caster in armor.

The best form of 'Magic+Something' in the game is the Paladin's smite, really.

Monks - so many “they don’t belong in the game” and “they suck and need to be fixed”.

probably beat out bards in that regard.

This, except swap the monk and the bard.

 

[James Gasik]

So far, Monks had an early lead, but Fighters pulled ahead. I was surprised to see Monks and Rangers tied...I wonder what the new day will bring?

 

[Enevhar Aldarion]

Bards and Paladins are the most complained about, but not the most argued over. I voted Ranger and Warlock. Even though the arguing over Rangers has died down some, there was more than enough in the first couple of years of 5E to last for another decade..

I don’t see “Psion” there. I guess because it isn’t and should never be a separate class?

The lack of class absentees option is troubling.

 

[James Gasik]

I admit, I should have added Warlord and Psion. But once you go down the unpublished class rabbit hole, where does it end? Dwarf? Elf?

 

[Morrus]

Yeah, certainly on these forums, Warlord. We even had to have a whole subform for it at one point.

I've heard the tales. It's a shame, I always liked the concept. Well, that just means whatever class wins the poll can only earn second place. : )

As for Psionics, I dunno. The Psionics thread I was involved in got pretty heated up for a bit, but the last one I saw seemed fairly tame.
