Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ogre Mage" data-source="post: 7017919" data-attributes="member: 3404">Thanks for doing this!I thought the fighter would place in the middle of the pack and am slightly surprised to see it in a strong second place behind the rogue.  Of course, it is a longstanding core class in D&D with a great deal of potential inspirational material in fantasy literature and media.  It is not a full spellcaster so it is reasonably friendly for inexperienced players.  And the mechanical implementation of the class in 5E looks solid to me.  One thing both the fighter and rogue have in common is the ability to take an additional action (action surge and cunning action).  I wonder if that is related to their high ranking?The monk is clearly the most unpopular class, but the ranger, druid and sorcerer show significant levels of unpopularity as well.  In the case of the ranger, we could surmise a major reason for this is the much-discussed problems surrounding the beast master subclass.  If this poll had been done before the UA revision the ranger might have ranked even lower.  I am a fan of the druid, but between being a full spellcaster and wildshaping it is one of most complex classes to run.  That may be unappealing to some players.  I have heard a fair amount of complaining about the sorcerer, mainly that it doesn't have enough spells.  The subclasses were initially very limited -- just draconic and wild.  I and many other players would have preferred more subclass options like in Pathfinder.  They are starting to come but right now most are not AL legal.  This is a case where my local gaming area is an anomaly to the poll data -- I have seen many sorcerers.  Satisfaction with the class varied.  Some liked it, but one woman I played with hated her sorcerer so much that she dumped it and ran a wizard instead.</blockquote>
