What do you think is the best and the worst class in the game?

[Sceles]

Title. I just want to hear what people think.

[Dwarf80]

tried the paladin, the beastmaster and now the rogue, for me the rogue plows through the mobs like butter. Not sure about the finger wigglers yet.

A popular opinion seems to be that the classes introduced later during early-access are better (more interesting and polished to play) than the older ones. Maybe someone can share what those are?

I think Spellblade and Shaman are older ones and Falconer one of the newest? Not 100% sure.

Falconer/ Necro / Warlock / Certain Paladin builds are considered top tier.

I went for acolyte/warlock first, it melted things very fast even at low levels. Then I tried paladin, and it was so much slower.. honestly about to give up on it after the almost unstoppable warlock-steamtrain, so I can't recommend paladin tbh.

Best? Tough call between runemaster and warlock. Both OP

Worst? Shaman

[P.Diddy's Baby Oil]

best are the 3 newest classes not even any competition. worst, forge guard or shammy

it's the worst part about the game for me. the old classes have been left in the dust, and they'll probably never update them

[Knavenformed]

Unless you really want to re-live the nostalgia of Hammerdin or whatever, the Sentinel class is either cookie cutter or has builds taken from other games to an extent it feels dull.

Worst Mastery feels to be Beastmaster for sure

rune master or warlock with 10,000 ward

[AirSniffer]

Not sure about the "polish" but for me - everything that is either aoe OR ranged dmg based feels good. Anything pure melee doesn't even come close.

Im enjoying Warlock, heard Necro is S tier but I'd like to eventually try them all.

I have no clue how to build and I'm still melting things at endgame as falconer. My rogue feels like she's the pet.

Kinda dig the falconers take on a pet class tho, a single pet you synergize with rather than just filling the screen with as many minions as possible.

Best = Runemaster
Worst = Beastmaster

[Machin Shin]

Shaman is best

You have to differ softcore and Hardcore.
For easy mode any class is good.

FOr hardcore it was and in my opinion is still Druid. But takes some skill.

I have now tried several of the classes.
First I thought I would answer your question with "The next class I try will be best".
Reason is, each class I try out brings something new and enjoyable to the game.
I usually play summoners in ARPGs. So I started out with a Beastmaster, followed by a Necromancer. I just like to have an army of minions to I can order around! While this is nice and enjoyable to play, sometimes, I crave for a bit more hands-on action.
So I created a Druid, because I wanted to check out the Were-Bear, and I was enjoying that, too. It felt different.
The Falconer is also awesome, and that falcon is a force of nature. I think it is a bot overpowered to be honest, so that might be something they might nerf in the future. But if feels awesome to have this swift divebombing missile at your disposal.
Then I tried a Spinning Forgeguard. I did not skill that character as I originally wanted, since I found some uniques and the built became totally wild. That character is a beast and was much more fun than the previous ones!
And then yesterday I started with a Spellblade who has also earned some amazing uniques and he appears to also be pretty fun to play, since there are all these elemental damage spells to use.
For me, it really depends on which mood I am, if I prefer to march into battle with a huge minion army, of if I want to be a lone avenging hero.
I think me next character will be a Lich! I watched a video on that one and it looks awesome.
However, I might add, I play this game casually and not competitive, so your milage may vary.
