    Personally, Sorcerers are actually my favorite because of the whole "inherent magic" type thing, I mean it's cool how Wizards can cast all those spells, but Sorcerers open up a bunch of different Unique Narratives as you explore how they got their magic and what it means, at least, IMO.

      Also, Metamagic can pose incredible utility at times, completely saving the party in some scenarios
      "I use Knock on the door"
      "It has 2 locks, they'll hear the first one"
      "That's why I Twin-spell it, and rush in"
      "I will cast Fireball on the mage, with Subtle Spell"
      "Why subtle spell?"
      "It helps"
      "oookay, well he's going to counterspell it"
      "it has no components though, he can't see me casting the spell to counter it"
      "Wait uhh.... nevermind, how do you want to do this?"
      (both have happened to my Divine Soul sorcerer.. that subclass also making it an amazing healer)
      I do agree that inherent magic is fun tho, and some backstories of "they wanted to be a wizard, were terrible in the classes, until they found out they could just do it anyways" or "they think they're a cleric, but they keep praying to a god that doesn't exist" are a ton of fun

      Nah it's not that, the reason warlocks use eldritch blast all the time is in case the party doesn't take enough short rests, see if your party takes enough short rests you can use ur spells as much as you want because you know ur gonna short rest soon, but if you run out of spell slots and u can't take a short rest all you can do is eldritch blast, and if ur party tells you they aren't gonna do a short rest you'd wanna save ur spell slots when ur about to, so you use eldritch blast (what I mean is to really use warlocks to the max the party needs to take short rests more often)

    Duke, I'm so happy to see you give Ranger its due. They were the last 5e class I've made a character for, and they were honestly my favorite character as a class that I've made. When you stop relying on Hunter's Mark and start concentrating on their better spells, like Entangle, Fog Cloud, Spike Growth, Conjure Animals, and others, the Ranger can really own the battlefield. And, with Goodberry, they become the team healer to boot. A back row healer. Hi, Cleric! I'm staying out of danger! ^^
    Love the Ranger.

And of course, I can self heal with Wholeness of Body when I need it. She's easily one of the main damage dealers of my party. She's managed to take out 2 enemies in one turn before.

You only start going broke when you become a spell hoarder, or you have a subclass that really wants as many spells as possible in their book, like order of scribes (although even with OoS you can do that thing where you find one of the tasha’s wizard spell books and make that spell book your new spell book and then make your old spell book your new spell book again to bring all the new spells back without paying anything)

    I think the reason behind why the barbarian wasn't an S tier might have been because they're so predictable. This can be changed by going the wild magic barbarian path. Every time you rage, you may just randomly teleport 20ft. above your enemy, or be able to casually throw your greatsword, or how about creating tiny magic bombs, or making your weapon just deal force damage. You never know which you'll get, so it gives the barbarian an element of unpredictability.

    Ranger's get a lot of hate because of their worst subclass, but they are really fun. They're also the only class whose starting equipment can include a Longbow instead of a Shortbow. My favorite Ranger I've built was a Half-Elf Ranger with Gloomstalker subclass who mostly only comes out at night, because of the 3rd level ability Umbral sight which increases Darkvision range, but more importantly, makes you invisible to anything that relies on darkvision to see you in darkness, which means you get advantage to attacking them, and they get disadvantage to attacking you.

    Fun Druid idea that I have for one of my back-up characters: a Reborn Lizardfolk who took Circle of the Moon and who's basically just a living dinosaur skeleton. He can use his Wild Shape to only turn into prehistoric Beasts and other animals that were around that time (such as sharks) and every time he transforms, his bones crack into shape as the nervous and muscular systems form around him before being covered in skin.

Good list would put sorcerers up higher but thats just me.

    Ranger is A tier because it's B tier in like 4 different class roles, it fills in any gap the party has and is good enough to hold it's ground when the big specialized types are missing.
    Half a druid, half a rogue, half a fighter, (And with Fey wanderer) half a bard. They're 200% of a class.
    They're not the best in any particular role, but they're very good in so many different roles at once that they're almost always useful.

    I think any class can be amazing depending on how you play it. I've played a decent amount of D&D and started DMing recently and it's really interesting seeing people's portrayals of different class. My most recent party I DMed for had a wizard, 2 paladins and 2 clerics, (they did not talk to each other or me before making characters, then again it was ment to be a one shot while waiting for regular DM to return before it got popular) despite the party's composition they are all very unique characters and managed to hold things together mostly. I think it's not always about the character but how it's played. That being said I have played so many Rouges and they are definitely top tier they are so much fun. But that's just my opinion.

      One of my players has expressed interest in playing a Horizon Walker which I have always believed relies more on DM participation than most class choices because I would then have to generate extraplanar portals in the world, detail where they go to and what might be coming out of them, and think about what might happen if he decides to step through….
      I havent had this much fun doing that sort of narrative world-building in the background since my last Warlock player where I RP’d all the interactions he had with his Devil which eventually led to him going to the second layer of the Nine Hells and eventually fighting in the Blood War

  • @Artzy4077
    @Artzy4077 11 месяцев назад

    Funny thing is, Druid and Sorcerer are my 2 favorite classes to play.
    Druids get Wild Shape, which may not be great at first, but if the DM lets you be creative it has some amazing utility. Unless you play Circle Of The Moon, in which case just play a Barbarian. Maybe not as powerful as others, but definitely a ton of fun.
    And, more importantly, my argument for Sorcerer: They get less spell options than Wizard, but they get to cast them in fun ways. A Sorcerer who prepares the Knock spell can Twin Spell it, unlocking a door with 2 locks for one action. If you're against a mage, by using a sorcery point to use Subtle Spell, the enemy can't counterspell it, as they can't see the spell being cast until they're already hurt. And even then, move aside Cleric, the Divine Soul subclass gets all Cleric spells, with Twin Spell added on, making Sorcerer among the best healers in the game. Lastly, ignoring metamagic, Sorcery Points give you extra spell slots if needed, giving your longevity a massive boost in most scenarios.
    imo, Sorcerer's are what Wizards wish they could be, but in the end they're just 2 sides of the "squishy caster" coin: Wizards are versatile in the spells they pick before a fight, while Sorcerers are flexible with how they cast their spells during the combat. In trade, wizards can only cast a spell as is described, and Sorcerers can't have as many spells to choose from.

    @HaliaxOfTheChandrian 11 месяцев назад +1

    I enjoyed this immensely and agree with most of it, although I think Bard should be boosted a tier, because even though it's become a meme-y class overall, for people who are still serious about DnD, the bard really does offer some great support, and their charisma is really handy to have for out of combat situations. Every party should have a bard or high charisma rogue in my opinion. Unless your campaign is almost solely about combat and exploring, and not interacting with other people I guess.

    As for how I established the stats for each of them is this: The Player's Handbook suggested a stat spread that totals 72 points. I took that idea and simply put 72 points total in a way I liked so no true negatives but very little positives. Then add any Racial Stats or Class Stats on top of that.
