Really? You’d put Psion at the top?
I’m not disputing your rankings, just curious about some of the placements

According to my script for combining rankings, the current top 10 are:

Rogue (259)
Fighter (253)
Cleric (252)
Paladin (245)
Warlock (241)
Druid (230)
Wizard (223)
Sorcerer (220)
Barbarian (203)
Ranger (196)

Votes get 18 points for 1st place, 17 for 2nd, and so on.

Fullcaster, thematic and versatile innate magic, physically competent: I love the Psion!

I have the 3e Psion in mind, but for 5e, I would make the class via a short-rest spell point Warlock chassis.

It's a tough choice for me between the Kibblestasty psion and Laserllama psion, but I think I prefer the Laserllama one. The Outsider subclass might be the single subclass I want to try most in all of 3pp 5e.
