[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 8096871, member: 1210"] Okay. Maybe it's not for you. And that's fine. But there is no way in 5e to build the type of true warlord I want- one that supports the archetype of the lazylord, the character who leads from the back and doesn't focus on his or her own attacks at all. The build you suggest fails outright at that, especially during the first couple of levels (before getting battlemaster maneuvers). It relies far too much on the character attacking to trigger many of his or her abilities; also, it pushes hard into spells. Which isn't to say that 5e doesn't support [I]some [/I]warlord styles. It just doesn't support all of them. The warlord was perhaps the best player-side element of 4e; the lack of it in 5e is a huge disappointment to me and to some others. [/QUOTE]
