[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9624959, member: 7030563"] So why give a runner up prize with multiple builds? Here are the best options IMO: [B][U]5e:[/U][/B] In a 5E combat game an Elf or Dwarf Bladesinger is pretty boss at all levels and is a melee god (for 5E) past level 11. Level 1 before the subclass is the only level they are not balls to the wall top tier in combat and even there, with the Racial weapons, blade cantrips and the shield spell once a day it is still on fleek. 5E class for a well rounded game is Fizban's Dragonborn Tasha's Fey Wanderer Ranger with Fey touched-Cause Fear and Dragonfear. In a game that uses all 3 pillars, I think this is the best single class 5E build available. This character rivals a Wizard at control (actually better in parts of tier 2/3), is good with weapons, great at exploration and is the best face in the game. [B][U]2024:[/U][/B] In 2024 combat game Monks are superb at all levels. In a 2024 game focused on all 3 pillars Fighters excel, being the best skill Monkeys at low and medium level and still good at high level while being great in combat at all levels. A good multiclass will beat all of these though. [/QUOTE]
