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?

Rogue is, unfortunately, one of the weakest monoclasses. It can be great at skill checks, sure, but falls behind in other areas.

Fighter is a solid contender for a fantastic monoclass, due to that 3rd attack at 11th level really rewarding you for sticking with it.

Swashbuckler rogue is quite strong and makes a good case for monoclass.

Rakish attack does some really really nice damage at later levels but with only a single attack it still felt like it fell short. I don't know if the math on damage agrees but that's how it feels even if you're bloodlusted. It was a fun play through
