[QUOTE="guachi, post: 7113236, member: 6785802"] Best- Wizard Cleric Rogue I don't think there's a subclass that I don't like (well, maybe trickery) for the above three. All are fun and give me a good old-school vibe and warm fuzzies. I think my ideal party would be an Abjurer Wizard, Life Cleric, Thief Rogue, Battlemaster Fighter. A for all three classes. I love the fighter but think that Champion and Battlemaster should be separate classes. Despite liking both the Champion and Battlemaster, I think the design missed the mark a bit. B (but only because I really like Fighters) I don't like the basics of Paladin smiting so the entire class is below my expectations. C- I'd put Sorcerer at the bottom as I think the class is a complete failure and would never play one. D Beastmaster is a failure, and that's half the Ranger. C Bard is great class, though I think the full casters bit isn't what I'd like out of the class. So it isn't at the top for me. I'd trade spells (maybe a 3/4 caster if such a thing were possible) for more fun Bard features. It's a grand, fun class otherwise. The class is well-designed for what it does even if "what it does" isn't what I'd like a Bard to do. B+ I care nothing about Warlocks and if they were removed from the game I wouldn't care either way. No grade. I'd actually play a Monk if I had to, so it's not that bad. It's just the Elemental Monk is weak so it can't get a top grade but the chassis is good. B Berserker is poor but the Totems are very fun. It's like the entirety of the good part is Totems. Really, though, I don't think the class is necessary and could be subsumed under a generic fighter chassis. C+ EDIT: I forgot Druid. I'm biased that in my current campaign one of my favorite players is having a blast with her Moon Druid so I'm sure she'd give it an 'A' as she has fun with everything she does. I'll have to leave this ungraded, not because I don't care but because I don't think I can be fair. Rogue A+ Cleric A Wizard A Bard B+ Monk B Fighter B Barbarian C+ Ranger C Paladin C- Sorcerer D Warlock Ungraded (lower than the Sorcerer as I can't even muster enough neurons to care about the class at all) Druid Ungraded [/QUOTE]
