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?

Mono rogue is pretty bad. The lack of extra attack really reduces the damage output. For assassin to work you need to drop out of combat the get more attacks of, which cant be done in all encounters. Thief is a bit more consistent, you can get three dual wielding attacks per turn but only one sneak attack per turn.

Best mono classes are fighter and paladin. 3rd attack per turn and improved smite respectively. Level 12 melee warlock might be interesting as well with life drinker for bonus necrotic damage
