ITT a lot of people playing the game on normal, believing that because their melee can succeed with heavy mage support that melee itself isn't broken.
Melee isn't broken. /sigh
Melee classes may not be broken in the sense that one can't complete the game with one or more in the party. The point is relative to spellcasters they bring little (if not nothing) unique or "must have" to the party that the spellcaster doesn't plus more.
This really reminds me of the class tiers in D&D. T1 are pure spellcasters like Wizard/Druid/Cleric that completely and utterly outshine all other classes. T3/T4 classes like Bard/Barbarian/Rogue can still "do stuff," but when compared to T1/T2 they are pointless to choose unless the upper tiers are restricted by the DM.
