Don't worry. Fighters do still exist. I've used almost all fighters in my games. I've tried out each kit and I prefer the normal fighter. I like having a good choice of equipment, being able to takeon anything. Contrary to popular opinion a high level fighter is effective and nearly unkillable. Stick the ring of regeneration on him and you'll never need healing again. Also in terms of background of the game I think the fighter is the most realistic choice for several reasons
a) You're the protagonist, the rest of the party is there to support you. Your character is supposed to lead.
b) There are good examples of the other major classes in the npc's but not fighters. Kurggan is good but he is evil which goes against the spirit of the game and only has axes. With a fighters benifit of five slots in a proficiency you want to be able to pick what weapon you want to advance in. All the other classes only get one or two slots so where they have their choices to start off with doesn't matter to much as you'll fill them all eventually.
c) Your character is the child of the God of murder. I feel those instincts would manifest as a fighter. The slayer, which is you giving in to your blood, is a vicious hand to hand creature.
Suffice to say every class is good and will do well in the game providing you play them right. Yes even fighters. I'm going to convince everyone that fighters do rule if it's the last thing that I do.
