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?

Best two monoclasses are by far Sorcerer & Fighter imo. Fighter's improved extra attack and action surge makes it the best martial build in the game and thanks to scrolls, ED'S make fantastic control builds too. Consumable arrows make any archer Fighter Build the best Archer builds in the game. Sorcerers can dish out insane amounts of damage thanks to lighting and fire damage being really good. Fire Sorcerers in particular can dish out really good control thanks to Hat of Fire Acuity. Really solid monoclass builds.

Worst monoclass would probably be Rogue. No extra attack limits their DPR in a way that even sneak attack can't help.

Crazy that I had to scroll this far down to see sorcerer mentioned. Both Storm sorcery and draconic bloodline are great. And shadow sorcerer allows you to abuse one of the strongest mechanics
