I'm not a D&D player myself and my fandom of BG1&2 isn't that huge. Still its even for me absolutely obvious how Larian's changes have negativly impacted the balance of BG3's combat. The changes seem small if you don't know the classes/rules, but the impact is undeniable. Every change Larian made turned out to be unbalanced and better than what original rules and class abilities offer. Your strongest option are always their additions - barrel- & hordemancy are the ultimate damage dealers, disengage + jump are in most cases the most efficient and smart movement and sneak while enemy is in combat + bonus action shove is an auto kill in many situations. Also race to the top is the most efficient combat style.
The changes are - sorry for the expression - a clusterf... and turned this game for me into a extremely boring and repetitive combat system like DOS2.
