Sister of Thorn, Battle Wizard, Mercenary, Witch Hunter Captain, Iron Breaker.

That's my opinion on the strongest from each character. Any career is viable though.

Did a Cata Waste run with Witch Hunter Captain, Battle Wizard, SOTT & Iron Breaker.

We had no deaths and handed every boss an ass-whooping,

Was the smoothest run ever.

For Kruber, Merc or GK. Merc provides a ton of hp, shuts down hordes and can create space when you need it most. GK just deletes anything in melee range but needs good ranged support.

For Bardin, Outcast Engineer but you have to actually be good at him. If you are good at him, he's ridiculously powerful. Slayer also performs similar to GK, massive melee damage but needs help with ranged targets.

For Kerillian, Shade has nearly unbeatable melee damage against any target, Handmaiden has great support & clutch potential and SoTT deletes everything at any range pumping out Outcast Engineer damage with none of the effort. She makes Cata feel like Champion.

For Saltz, WHC can create space and one shot most enemies while Warrior Priest can watch over damage dealers to ensure they deal their damage safely while not being half bad on his own. He's a good anchor too, great as a bodyguard.

For Sienna, BW's high dot damage application with infinite cleave is amazing plus she has a bit of support with her ult. She melts everything quickly except elites and bosses which your team can easily clean up for you when everything else is dead.

There is no best class to carry !
Just play whatever you feel comfortable with, youll most likely be better then trying to chase some tier list or something along those lines.
Asking for meta / best heroes is pointless in base cata, you can start doing that when it goes to cata 3 and beyond.

It's less what classes are best and more what team comp works. For example a good combo is: BW, FK, WHC, IB. There are many good combos.

I had a pretty easy run yesterday with. IB, Foot Knight, Priest, Shade.

Whatever you're best at playing at will do a better job than a "better" career you're not confident playing.
That said, as people mentioned: Mercenary/GK for Kruber, WHC/BH for Saltz (though even WP has extremely good potential as a solid pillar for your team), any Kerillian career (They all bring something very important, and with few drawbacks), BW for Sienna and OE/IB for Bardin.

Exactly this list. Merc and BW especially imo. SOTT as well obviously cause she is overtuned atm.
