Despite everything written below, you can still get 110% performance from any career in Chaos Wastes and make it "the best". But to do so you need to pay more attention to your team composition, weapons and talents in order to cover the weaknesses from all possible angles.

---------------
S-tier: Ranger Veteran, Grail Knight, Huntsman (?), Battle Wizard, Witch Hunter, Bounty Hunter (?), Shade (?), Waystalker. (They are strong enough to finish any run without any specific boons or weapon traits. Or even without any boons and weapon upgrades. Even with bots)

*(?) - After patch 4.7 Chest of Trials doesn't have a 100% guarantee of getting a monster. In other words, they lost their main job and should be used in "200% Hyper Twitch" mode to achieve maximum efficiency :)
---------------

A-tier: Outcast Engineer (!), Ironbreaker, Mercenary, Footknight, Pyromancer (!), Warrior Priest, Handmaiden, Sister of the Thorn (!).

*(!) After patch 4.7 OE, Pyro and SotT lost their "Source of the Lesser Gods Power" to annihilate everything they see in 1 millisecond, mostly because crit related boons like Explosive Rounds (Addaioth's Splendour) and Lightning Strike (Manann's Tempest) were moved to the Weapon Traits category and now it's extremely rare to get.

SotT - patch 4.6 turned her into pumpkin support with the ability to increase overall damage of the team (especially against monsters).
IB>WP>FK - it's always good to have 1 tank in your team to get out of any awkward situation.
Merc - universal support. Also can successfully replace the tank role.
Handmaiden - Queen of the Clutch. Probably should be above S-tier, since she can finish anything in true solo at the cost of your time. Universal support.
---------------

So, what is left?

Unchained, Slayer - are insanely good horde/elite killers, but they're "overshadowed" by other careers.

Zealot - King of the Clutch. HM version 2.0. But there are too many sources of healing in the Chaos Wastes, which is dragging him down.
---------------


P.S: Has anyone else noticed that endless hordes on the Khorne cursed maps are gone???

Ranger Veteran makes sure your group doesn't run out of ammo and there are some perks that give you stuff when you pick up ammo, 15 HP for example.
The Waywatcher of course, group healing and can regenerate her own ammo.

Worth mentioning is that some situations in the Chaos Wastes make you which for a ranged weapon more than the regular maps so melee only classes are more at a disadvantage.
Witch Hunter Captain works fairly well. The crit headshots still insta-kill anything smaller than a Chaos Warrior which lessens the effect of having the low grade weapons. Likewise the damage bonus on tagged foes helps with a couple breakpoints for everyone.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.
