A fighter should be able to do everything needed in combat to be a highly effective contributer in any scenario, without having to depend on ITEMS, cross class gimmicks, or massive overhauls.
If I place a mage in a dim cave with no gear, beyond his spell book, he remains formidable.
If I place a rogue in a dim cave with no gear, beyond his dagger, he can evade and even remove some opposition.
If I place a cleric in a dim cave, well... you know.
However, if I place a fighter in a dim cave with nothing but a sword, he sucks.
This is an unfortunate truth owing to the fact that the fighter greatly lacks self sufficiency, I believe.
