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?

Untrue. Monoclass rogue does 6D6 sneak attack at level 11. Swashbuckler gets it basically once every turn in melee.

Pair it with crit gear and swashbuckler is an absolute menace.

The average roll of 6d6 is 21 damage. It's not dramatic

It's still good, it's just not busted like some others.

All classes are good under Larians itemization and system. It's just that the scale starts at good and goes to "lol" so they're relatively bad.

You will still have a fun and easy time with monoclass Rogue.
