[QUOTE="BookTenTiger, post: 8615407, member: 6685541"] In the group I run, the barbarian is the one hitting the highest DPR. The group is made up of: Goliath Barbarian Kenku Rogue Aasimar Cleric Gnome Artificer Tiefling Warlock The barbarian has a Flying Sword, and uses it in combination with Extra Attack to put out some serious hurt. I was also playing with another group for a while, made up of: Goliath Barbarian Half-Elf Druid Half-Elf Sorcerer Dwarf Fighter Dwarf Cleric Dwarf Wizard In this group, the Druid had the highest DPR. The DM house-ruled an ability for the Moon Druid to Wildshape into swarms, and those did some serious damage! I actually find play style has a lot more to do with DPR than anything. In the first group, the Barbarian's player loves to be effective in combat. They took the Sentinel Feat to lock down enemies. They use their Flying Sword to flank. They have a lot of fun when they do a lot of damage. The rogue in that first group could be doing serious DPR with Sneak Attack and their Sun Blade, but they are the type of player who likes to find ways to interact with the environment, running around and blocking doors, manipulating traps, etc. In the second group, the Barbarian could be really effective in combat, but the player prefers to do crazy, cinematic things, like knocking over columns, grappling big creatures, etc. I played the Wizard in the second group, and because the rest of the group was so capable in combat I took almost no damaging spells!
