I don't think anyone is evaluating Death Cleric without Toll the Dead. It's enough to make it average rather than poor, and even an average cleric is a strong class. But, post-Tasha's the "S" cleric is easy to spot - it's Twilight.
You only need to be level 7 for Shadow Blade, which is hardly what I would consider high level. Besides, I think ATs are mostly highly regarded for Find Familiar, which they get at level 3. But, if them not to be "S" at low level, that means something else must be better. Which rogue subclass do you consider a better low level option?
I think Forge gets rated up because of it's ability to supply magic weapons at low level, which can make the difference between an easy win and "run away! Run away!". But you millage may vary if your game is magic weapon rich anyway.
I'll save you the bother. It's better than Death, but worse than Twilight.
Yeah I read it a while ago didn't impress me.
Twilight, Forge, Order iirc all better off the top of my head.
I don't think I would put any rogue S tier early on. Maybe very specific builds with specific feats.
I like Forge domain for the record personally I put it A tier shrugs.
