[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7834839, member: 20564"] The core four at there because they cover the most common archetypes. Regardless if you want to play them, they're needed. Actually, "cleric" can be any healer type - it's D&D that codified that to religion. It's no surprise the big 4 are leading. But there's very distinct tiers after that which people feel are needed in the game. At the time I'm writing this, you have: The Big 4 Druid & Bard Paladin Ranger Warlock, Monk, Barbarian (Each grouping is within 5% of the others in that group, with at least a 5% gap between and usually more.) Interesting that in a different recent thread people said they felt the Warlock was one of the best designed 5e classes, but here it's one of the least required if forced to chop. Monk and Barbarian don't even have that. If you want to be minimal, it's the Big 4. If you're going to have any mroe than that, the most wanted classes to play after that are Druid and Bard. Those six are the only ones that over half the people want, with Paladin in the next tier just missing the cut-off with 49% at time of writing. [/QUOTE]
