For bosses the best is Shade for sure.

[old Charlie]

Shade for bosses and for chaos warriors (heavy enemy?) almost anybody with the correct loadout - but I guess slayer and shade are the fastest.

Slayer

Any class CAN be a heavy boss killer, but Slayer and Zealot are probably the best at it, since they can sustain very high melee dps without having to stop.

Shade is best for burst damage, which includes near insta-deleting bosses if you are prepared properly (ie, have conc pots and know how to use them), but you have to be very good because it's a squishy class the doesn't allow for mistakes.

It's more about knowing your builds and weapon combos and using the right attack for the right situation. Sword+Dagger for example is great against hordes just by spamming left click, but to DPS bosses or elites you need to use the Push Stab (to head) > Heavy Attack (to head) combo.

Slayer can provide massive horde control and can pick off Elites with his pickaxe.

Class only affects your ult ability, hp, and some other side stats. Weapons dictate your killing role, mostly.

Example: Shade has an ability that one shots Chaos Warriors in melee. If you put axe on Waystalker, you can kill Chaos Warriors pretty fast, on demand, with no ult necessary.

Nothing is straightforward or set in stone. You can bend the rules a lot.

Shade has the best single target burst damage at the moment. With proper equipment and talents (power bonuses), she can kill all monsters with 2 Shadewalk (F) backstabs. Lords (Story bosses, like Skarrik or Bödvarr) take more but can be dealt with easily too. Downside is that she will be less effective at mobbing tho. She can one hit poke Chaos Warriors on legend with dual daggers, and can kill all elites/specials easily.Her stealth is also a get out of jail for free card and can save a lot of games.
How the Winds of Magic expansion will change her remains to be seen.

Shade or Slayer for Melee Boss/Heavy

[SoULLeSs]

Probably Shade or Slayer

[DotNL]

unchained with 60% more power from heat + 25% power from barrage +20% skaven + 20% armored on crowbill/charm and u just oneshot stormvermins with light attacks to the face. There is nothing that smacks this hard except for shade's ult.
