Poll Explanation

The poll is multiple choice because you're meant to choose which PREGEN classes you like from the PLAYTEST. Classes you dislike are therefore automatically going to get a lower 'score'. So if you like everything but the fighter, vote for everything but the fighter.

None of them are perfect, but it seems to me they did a better job with the casters than the noncasters. The casters have at least distinctive mechanics, which are reasonably simple. The individual spells (cantrip magic missile?) need some work, but they look like D&D spellcasters, and they are meaningfully different from fighters.

The fighter and rogue on the other hand, are not good at all. Sneak attack is just as dumb as it was in 3e. Cleave is just as dumb as it was in 3e. Per-day abilities pop up in both and the fighter (though not through a class feature) has a damage-on-a-miss ability. They seem to have taken the "worst hits" of 3e and 4e versions of the classes and stiched them together. On top of that, skill mastery looks overpowered, tools of the trade makes no sense and appears to be miswritten, and thieves' cant and thief hiding are decent concepts but poorly written. Weapon focus seems like an automatic choice, which is inadvisable. I don't know that there's a well-written class ability between the two of them. Not good.

Edit: Good question. I was obviously talking about the playtest versions. If you ask what classes I like in general, I favor rogues slightly and disfavor clerics slightly but I like all of them pretty well.
 

I actually like all of them. They're very... D&D.

The rogue and cleric feel like steps forward to me (with the advantage system and flexible casting).

The fighter and wizard feel, well, like they're "supposed" to. They'll please my players who are fans of the originals, but not really draw in anyone new.

Cheers!

The best part of the classes, is the Themes. I like how the fighter will change heavily if he takes the "guardian" theme from the Moradin cleric, and how the Moradin Cleric would change with the "slayer" theme. Sounds great.
 

Uh... Where is the "Lemon/Cheese" option on this one?
I haven't had the chance to run it yet... they *look* okay, but there are some small things that are questionable.

You either like a class or don't like it. In-between isn't a helpful answer in this scenario. And if you haven't yet enough information to vote, then you shouldn't vote at all.

That's a false dichotomy fallacy. If a class have 2 (or more) features, some people might like one, and dislike other. The answer might not be helpful for you, but it's his answer regardless. You don't like things "either-or". There's middle ground too.
