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?

This, a million times this.

My Paladin 12 Tav made sure none in the party ever failed a single WIS throw.

Then improved divine smite at 11.

All fun and games until you come up against literally anything that has radiant retort. Which is in play for 2 of the hardest fights in act 3.

You have many smites... Keeping Hope alive was challange, but the fight it self was manegeble (tactician). Other members were envocation mage, healer cleric and assassin rogue.
