Why play a low-level Fighter when the Barbarian is so much better?

[QUOTE="TheGorramBatman, post: 6366361, member: 6778804"] I've found this to not be the case. Especially compared to earlier editions. The fighter isn't attacking 6 times at 20, 20, 15, 15, 10, 5. They're attacking 3 times at 10, 10, 10. So you scoop up a few d20s and roll all of the attacks at once. "2 hit." Cool, now roll 2 dice. If you're someone who is super awesome (like me) you have color coordinated dice. I've yet to have a martial with so many attacks that I couldn't roll all of my attack and damage dice at the same time. "Green is a miss. Red and blue hit, 22 damage." The slowest part of the games I've run has been rolling saving throws vs AoE spells, though I tend to roll the saves for monsters of a similar type all at the same time. In either case, this is the fastest paced table top game I've played in a long time. [/QUOTE]
