Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zardnaar" data-source="post: 7077733" data-attributes="member: 6716779">I have more or less seen every class in play usually in multiples only missing a few sub classes (mostly wizards). This is a very brief note on how to ply the classes somewhat optimally.Barbarian The Berzerker is a bit meh due to the drawback while the totem one is interesting/fun/powerful. Ragem beat stuff up and tank damage.BardValor bard is underwhelming for a variety of reason the lore Bard is very versatile and powerful and can sub a large variety of roles (skill monkey, primary caster, healer etc). Cleric. Several domains look great but are not all that, The light and healing domains are the best one IMHO. DruidMoon Druids tend to be OP at level 2-4 generally not a fan of the 5E Druid for a variety of reason (would rather play another spellcaster). FighterFighter peaks late in its power relative to things like Rangers, Paladins, Barbarians etc. The Battlemaster is the best one followed by the champion. The EK is better a higher levels or if you have access to SCAG. Not really good at fighting until level 11 (relative to other warriors). MonkThe Monk is great in the skirmisher roll perhaps replacing the Rogue if you take the right back ground. Not as good at skill stuff better at combat. Avoid the Elemental Monk, the Shadow Dancer and fist monk are fun.Paladin.Great gish class with the Way of the Ancients and Avenger Paladins as the stand outs. All Paladins are good though due to the Auraand class features. Best gish in the game. RangerThe hunter ranger is great with a bow, maybe as a dex based duel wielder. Avoid the beastmaster.. Take the Hordebreaker ability for melee and ranger hunter rangers. RogueAssassin is not all that, thief is decent/fun, Arcane Trickster is a bit meh until later levels and not as good as you think with Green Flame Blade. SorcererDragon fire sorcerers are what you should be playing maybe frost if you have the PotA or EEPG. You kind of want fireball or lightning bolt as one of your elemental spells though..... Wildmages are fun depending on how your DM rolls. Sorcerers I think are better than wizards due to metamagic and way better saves (con+cha vs wis+int). Twin buff spells is golden (fly, haste, greater invisibility etc). Buff or boom or control. Warlock.People see warlock and think spellcaster when they should be thinking archer. Build around eldritch blast and even on occasions where you do not get many short rests you won't suck. Bladelocks are a bit meh unless you start as a lvl 1 fighter and MC into warlock. WizardBlasting wizards are a bit meh (play a Sorcerer or Light Cleric instead). Save or suck spells are nasty though so use them instead. Diviners are one of my favorites, invokers not so much. I also like transmuters but overall find the wizard a bit mehuntil higher levels and its not really my type of class (even in AD&D and 3E).</blockquote>
