and I don't feel like this is going to change in 2.0 either yes there will be less cloaks out there since we won't have magic items and one would hope that would mean less of these effects being sent out but......it also leaves fighters as once again defenseless and dependant on those scholars people keep bringing up as having limited resources for any protection from those effects. In my experience not a lot of casters take extra protectives for others when they could take damage spells. regardless of that it would be nice if to some degree fighters were able to protect themselves.
This has been my experience across the last three cycles of playtesting. As an NPC, I dropped 200 damage as an Elemental Lord/Knight into a Fighter who just walked away, got healed and refit his armor. Then, a single Gnoll alchemist with just a shield and some gasses nearly wiped the PC's. We had to throttle back and deliberately position poorly to allow them to recover.
