Doesn't that make you not want to use the sleep spell...
No. I find the sleep spell to still be one of the most powerful first level spells available. It just has to be used effectively. I pay attention to the area where I cast it and on what enemies.
It can also be a real life saver against a powerful foe.
Help "Removes Burning, Downed, Ensnared, Entangled, Enwebbed, Prone and Sleeping."
Help is an action. Right now help is totally useless to remove sleeping. Something.must be done... and changing shove into a full action rather than removing "and sleep" from the help tooltip is better for a lot of reasons raised since 2 years.
Help does a lot. It's a great ability.
It's also not useless to remove sleeping, as you said. It does remove sleeping. You probably meant that it's not the only way to remove the sleeping condition. And that's true. But I don't care. I'm fine with more than one way to remove the sleeping condition.
One's an action and one's a bonus action. Maybe I drink a potion and then help my companion. Great. No one's arguing that help should no longer remove the sleeping condition.
And I reject the notion that shove should be an action. It's fine as a bonus action. The game is not broken because of it, and I suspect most people who are saying it is haven't even played much when it comes to recent patches.
Haven't played the latest patch, but have Duergars suddenly stopped shoving your party into the lava?
I never had a problem with this, mostly because I'm very careful with my positioning.
People are absurdly hyperbolic about this issue. It's like all the people who talk about pathing and how their companions run straight into the lava. That's happened to me exactly zero times, and I've played well over a thousand hours of this game.
