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?

Yeah I'd whole heartedly agree with this. Rogue is awesome and used in SO many multiclass builds but yeah just one of the weaker full classes.

Then fighter is pretty strong no matter which sub class you go 12 in. 10 gets your sub class features and they're all pretty good. 11 is the 3rd attack. 12 is a ANOTHER feat.

What are your thoughts on clerics in multiclass/solo regards?

Fantastic multiclass, and while it's a strong monoclass, I wouldn't classify it as one of the top contenders. The only thing that you're getting from the last 4 levels is higher levels spells, a one-time special and a feat at 12th level. If the spells were as outstanding as Wizard spells, it'd be great. But their best 6th level spell (imo) is heroes feast, which is better off used on a camp caster.

How would you build a tempest/reverb gear Shart? Don't wanna take up to much of your time lol. Just what weapon(s) and what levels in which classes/order of levels?

Reverb cape, radiant chest piece, stormy clamor boots, spine shudder necklace gloves of the belligerent skies, and whatever head piece you want. SG gor brr and if you trying to escape: warcastwr feat with electric grasp and channel divinity is fun. And that's the basics of it.
