While there are some factors that can't be accounted for, there are a huge number that can be compared and with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Furthermore, many of your examples illustrate that point; yes a paladin is good in ravenloft, but they're also perfectly fine in a regular campaign. Can the same be said about the inquisitive rogue? Most of the reports I've heard about it seem to indicate that it is not as versatile as the paladin is and if so, that's a genuine mark against the subclass. Likewise, I'd bet just about anything that if you polled people here on how often they do dungeon crawls as opposed to intrigue, that dungeon crawls win resoundingly. This means that the narrow application of College of Whispers is a weaker option than more malleable subclasses. As Tony points out, flexibility and general applicability are considered strong options for power ranking and rightly so.I would tentatively agree in saying that there's not much to be gained from trying to order the classes from greatest to least, as saying "X class is the best" will typically be misleading. But at the same time, it's idiotic to believe that there's no way to gauge the general power level of the classes in relation to one another.</blockquote>
