By converting this into 5th edition, you make the bard useless, you make a white mage insignificant, and in fact all that needs to be played are, Dark Knights, Holy Knights, Thieves, and Fighters. Magic in 5e is considered weak, and Strikers currently dominate the format. Would you rather have ease of use, and sacrifice party participation, or would you rather have complexity, yet diversity.
That is the question you are forcing upon Vil by imposing this.
I've run 5e for about two months now, and I honestly haven't encountered any of those problems. Magic doesn't seem weaker at all, my party is pretty diverse as far as class goes and I find that there's a good balance between them all as far as power level is concerned. Though, they are all only around level 5. I don't know how they would be around higher levels.
As far as mechanics, I found 5e a lot easier to get the hang of than pathfinder. Nothing against it though, I like pathfinder and it has its merits, I was just wondering if there were any talks of a conversion and what other people thought.
