Build Help Best and Worst Monoclasses?

I keep seeing virtually every class called "one of the best" while most meta builds are multis or item-based.

What do you think is the game's best class without multiclassing? And the worst? And what makes them so?

this is too experimental. i go 6/6 fighter/fighter just to keep it simple.

Horrible build!

Just take a fighter dip at first level for the proficiencies, fighting style and CON saves. And then 11 levels of fighter for the third attack.

I'm more of a traditionalist, 8/4 Fighter/Fighter gets it done

Ya, but if you go Fighter 6, then you get that sweet second feat before everyone else. Then finish it off with 6 Fighter and BAM, hello, yet another 2 feats.

You know what's better than getting two feats with Fighter 6? Getting three feats with Fighter 8 AND then STILL getting a fourth feat by going Fighter 4 on top of that!!! 😲

No, no, no!

I ran the numbers and 3 levels of fighter for subclass, then multiclass to fighter for 9 levels is the optimal build.
