D&D 5E Favourite UA subclasses?

[gyor]

I'm curious what are everyone's preferred UA subclasses?

I liked Favoured Soul, Storm Herald, Horizon Walker, Arcane Archer, Phoenix, Sea, and Stone Sorcerors, Shadow Sorceror, Raven Queen Warlock (refluffed to Pyscopomp Warlock), Primal Guardian, Deep Stalker, Oath of Conquest, College of Sword, Glamour, and Satire, the Sheppard, and the Cavalier.

This should be a poll, but I don't know if a poll could handle that many options.

Obviously the Phoenix Sorcerer and the Raven Queen Warlock. The others on the list are just "meh."

You don't mention any of the Cleric's UA subclasses? The Forge Domain is great.

For myself, it was the version of the Favored Soul that does not have angel wings. I pretty much found the others, with one or two exceptions, to range from meh to worthless for my tastes.

I like the Storm Herald because it's really three subclasses in one, Sea Storm Herald, Desert Storm Herald, and Ice Storm Herald, each suited to a very different type of Barbarian cultures

Horizon Walker is basically based on Blink from marvel comics.

I like the idea of a Hellknight, but Oath of Conquest is flexible enough for a Lawful Neutral Paladin of Helm.

Deep Stalker is underdark fun with cool mechanics.

I want to like Primal Guardian and Kensei, but both needed work in their original forms.
I'm playing a Storm Herald and College of Whispers, perfect for my Minotaur and Tuan-ti.

Drunken Master and 2nd Kensai, most of the warlock patrons are excellent, glamour and swords Bard colleges, planes ranger, storm sorcerer, man there is a lot of good stuff in UA.

 

[Sacrosanct]

Shadow sorcerer, beast master ranger, arcane archer

Are you looking just on concept since the mechanics will be cleaned up, or playable as is? For example, I really like the idea of the Stone Sorcerer, filling a niche that isn't covered, but the mechanics lack what is needed to make it work as a single-class.

Obviously the Phoenix Sorcerer and the Raven Queen Warlock.

Whoah I agree with Yunru on something!

The others on the list are just "meh."

Well, we don't agree on everything. I also really like the concepts of the Tranquility Monk and Redemption Pally, if not all the details of implementation. Oh, and I also like the...

You don't mention any of the Cleric's UA subclasses? The Forge Domain is great.

Yes, that one. We agree AGAIN!!!

And that's pretty much my list. Maybe that one defender Barbarian....what's it called?

The idea of the "Sea Sorcerer" appealed to me, but nothing that looks remotely like the version presented, which really is just a Tempest Sorcerer with different abilities. There are so many great themes to explore with the sea that have nothing to do with thunder and lightning.
