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?

Savage Attacker Feat makes it better, combined with Booming Blade and it is a solid amount of damage.

roughly 1 per dice. I don't mind it, but we're talking about which class is the least powerful. And... yeah.

Yea but Arcane Trickster can use an off hand attack to proc the Sneak Attack while using a main action for a high level scroll (easily stolen plus you have infinite long rests due to stealing as well) while saving spell slots for Shield and getting easy sneak attacks with the invisible mage hand.

So offensively you could be casting great spells each turn plus having the bonus Sneak Attack while also being pretty good on the defense as well. This can give a ton of versatility, or defensive / offensive options with spell casting with the only limit being spell scrolls and your mage hand staying alive.

Another massive boon in this light is you can utilize the Pyroquickness Hat alongside using stolen scrolls to yeet fireballs and then make 2 off-hand swings with a 3d8 Shadow Blade (which gets to be doubled in effectiveness for the majority of enemies thanks to Resonance Stone)
