If you dropped the easy encounters or merged them into the medium encounters I don't see how it would make the game more combat orientated -the average length might go up but the number would go down.It reminds me of 3.0 where I complained so much to the DM about some dungeon were were crawling through about how tedious it was that he just dumped all the remaining monsters into one room.Fights to knock over sentries or that otherwise have major implications are somewhat exempt (ones that would be terrible in 4e & best skill challenged there).Anyway on topic Barbarians do not make such good archers or sword & board fighters, do not get better AC until much higher level, if ever or a some cost to offensive power & do not have a very varied playstyle that you might get from Battle masters or Eldritch knights. I think they are more tanky but less flexible & probably offensive than fighters.</blockquote>
