D&D 5E What are your (up to) three favorite character classes?

[Ogre Mage]

A month ago I ran a poll on people's LEAST favorite character classes. The monk had the dishonor of winning the poll with 29.7% of the vote. In second place was the artificer with 27% and third was the sorcerer with 23.6%.

So now I'd like to look at people's favorite classes. This also was a question on the recent WotC poll and like that poll, I am letting people choose up to three favorite classes.

I will state my bias up front -- the cleric and wizard are my favorite classes. I am obsessed with casters and those two classes allow for a very wide range of caster PCs. I also think they have tended to be among the stronger classes from an optimization standpoint.

 

[Magister Ludorum]

1) Bard, 2) Warlock, 3) Wizard

 

[Scribe]

Barbarian, Paladin, Sorcerer.

I would pick Warlock, but there are a few issues with the class that bug me considerably.

I haven't looked to see if Level up fixes that..I'll have to check tomorrow.

 

[Mind of tempest]

monk, paladin, I added mystic just for psionics and to mess with wotc.

 

[BookTenTiger]

Wizard, Warlock, Druid

 

[Levistus's_Leviathan]

Artificer, Paladin, and Warlock.

It is too balance now, isn't it? I miss the psionic mystic because the main classes (fighter, cleric, rogue and wizards) are like everybody wearing the same fashion clothing. I said the artificier because always the wizard is boring. I like my PCs to be different and exotic. I like the paladins because they have got a honor code and their divine spells help to remember their spiritual roots. I like monks because I loved Kung-Fu serie where the little grasshope showed some pearls of wisdow. The monks really want to grow as person, not only to be stronger.

 

[Lyxen]

Bard, Paladin, Wizard for me, not necessarily in that order.

 

[Crimson Longinus]

Barbarian. rogue and bard. These are conceptually and themchanically to my liking. I've said that ideally I would prefer bards to be more fighty and less magicy, but the current iteration is still perfectly fine.

Conceptually I really like monk, druid and ranger, but many of their 5e mechanics are handled in way that I don't appreciate.

 

[Amros]

Cleric, Paladin, Ranger
But the cleric leaning more on the martial side, like the War Domain.
