    "The fighter is basic, it bonks the enemy." "Ah, but did you know it bonk the enemy 9 times a turn" mind explosion

    Fighters ain't basic, it's just that everything that could give the class it's own flavor (fighting without weapons, being holy, being sneaky, etc) is represented by a different class (monk, paladin, rogue, etc).

    Fighters got endurance. I once held a dueling tournament in-game, with only a short rest between each fight. The spellcasters ran out of spell slots immediately, but the fighter could Just. Keep. Going.

    Fighters to me are a lot like Clerics. They’re “glue” classes. People don’t always want to play them, especially because of their associated stereotypes, but they are very powerful and it’s always beneficial to have one in the party to make sure your spellcasters don’t get trashed.

    People confuse "basic" with "easy to learn". Their simplicity is their strength, and once you start adding items, feats, and abilities you have a plethora of tactics they can use.

    I once thought fighters were basic, then one of my player played rune knight and suddenly the size of creatures became a very important stat to me

    The Fighter is my favorite class. I love it because you can be any character you want. With most of the other classes, there are some things about them that are required for you to make sense as that class, but a Fighter can be a noble, a soldier, a folk hero, a hunter, an urchin, whatever you want!

    The real reason people say fighter is basic is because it's noob friendly

    Call Fighter basic all you want but 8 attacks in one turn is extremely impressive and I love it.

    I remember I played a Unarmed Fighter Battle Master with Tavern Brawler and Grappler once, it was a LOT of fun Suplexing thralls and RKOing mindflayers.

    Do not forget that Battle Masters or people who take the feat also get Trip Attack. Which means that after the first attack, if the dice is on your side, you get 8 more attacks with advantage.

    I had a lv 20 fighter that later became the BBEG because he was just an absolute beast when it came down to close combat

    I still carry the pride I felt upon hearing my DM's sheer shock at how many attacks I did in one turn like a god damn badge.
