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

[Sceles]

Title. I just want to hear what people think.

Shaman is best

That's kind of funny since it came up twice as worst class so far. Care to elaborate what makes it the best for you ?

Sadly the Forge Guard need a complete overhaul. His skilltree is outdated for months (ea Access). Also he lacks in terms of items (need more uniques/Sets).

His skilltree has no direction. I really like the idea of the Forge Guard but pls give him some Love.

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

Playing a void mage or forge guard summoner is a least a little different.

Agreed forge guard seems confused though - he seems to have focus on:

Melee physical
melee fire (which the paladin does better)
shield tank stuff
throwing physical
summons

It's kinda hard to really make a build out of it. Unlike the falconer your summons are pretty useless unless you focus on them (falcon gets a bunch of bonuses mostly for free), but a ton of the class skills involve summons!

I've been playing Spellblade and it's been awesome, except for the Majasa fight because I didn't have and couldn't get enough physical resistance. I've had no issues with any other content and fly through farming aoe.

I've started to level a paladin and necro - both are low 30s. Paladin is ok but not quite as fast as spellblade, but I got a nice 1h mace that spreads fire so my fire build is still fun. Necro is silly and my pets are destroying things while I sit back being lazy.

I've not yet played anything "bad" but some specs are definitely faster or slower.

Anyway to answer the question, I'm gonna say my poison lich has been my best.

As much poison aura as possible.
As much poison on hit as possible
Wandering souls that shoot poison

Cruise around in reaper form with haste on at all times stacking 30 stacks of poison on everyone who sees you instantly, killing everything on contact.

Only tradeoff? You need to leech health or you'll eventually kill yourself, and if you turn off aura of poison you probably will kill yourself instantly.

Shaman and Forge Guard are arguably the worst. Shaman has nearly 0 synergy with anything other than Totems and every other build is forcing square blocks in round holes to make it work. Forge Guard just doesn't bring anything that Void Knight and Paladin don't.

Best is definitely subjective but you can't go wrong with the three newest classes: Falconer, Warlock, and Runemaster. Other than Summoner style gameplay those three cover everything else. Necro and Beastmaster are both very good for pet builds. Void Knight, Paladin, Druid, and Lich all have a few really fun and powerful builds.
I'm not sure about Marksman and Bladedancer, I'm assuming they fall into the same category of "a few fun and powerful builds." since I don't hear much negative about them.

Edit forgot Sorcerer and Spellblade. Sorcerer probably falls into the Shaman/Forge Guard category. Unless you really want Black Hole, there's no reason to not play Runemaster. Spellblade is definitely in the "a few fun and powerful builds"

I'm leveling a Druid Werebear and having a blast. I have no idea how end-game viable the build is, but right now, it just works. I have a VK, Rune, Necro... all fun, but the werebear feels smoother to level. Necro is my next favorite.
