[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 9889868, member: 6716779"] I think its something to do with stadium seating. Buy tickets S are the best, Ds right up the back. Originated in Japan anyway as others have said. The good toer lists theres s lot of overlap and its often obvious what subclasses are better. What counts as A vs S us often the difference. I weight mine heavily towards lower levels. I think online theory crafting leans towards higher levels since 3E. Real game level 10 is rare let alone 20. If im playing a random DM from lvl 1 or 3 I assume we will be lucky to complete the AP White room theorycraft DPR calculations are really only guidelines for strikers. Dual wield and great weapon fighters/paladins/barbarians are generally the best at it. I rate power over versatility as people tend to spam the same spells or piwer or whatever over and over. He ce comparatively high rating i put on Sorcerers. Command for example is an S tier spell. Its S+ when a sorcerer uses it. I dont rate most damage that high. 5.5 might be better off slowing some 1 round and not taking the damage. Unless you're 5MWD if youre doing that a lot of things dont actually matter and you win anyway. I'm not penalizing Barbarians for being bad at support or bards for low damage. Its not their thing. If they're good at their thing and their thing is relevant I'll make them high. More things they're good at higher mark they get. Hence Paladins are great and most tier lists rate them high. .levels matter as well. I want a class tgats B tier at least tier 1, A or S tier at mid levels and A tier at least higher level. If its A tier mid level S tier high level it gets weighted lower than S tier then A tier. I want that class to peak level 3-6 ideally and not fall off to hard (not a Ranger or lesser extent barbarian). A Tier lvl 3-6 peaking by 10 is also acceptable. [/QUOTE]
