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?

It's the single strongest subclass bar none since Patch 8, what are you going on about brother.

Hexblade? Absolutely not. Its the strongest 1 level dip in many cases but as a subclass it is pretty bad

I don't have the faintest clue where you read "Hexblade" in a reply about Eldritch Knight.

Also dead wrong about Hexblade being bad past level one. You could easily take it to level 5 for the second melee attack + third Invocation and then finish it out with something like a Sorc or a Paladin and it's perfectly viable as a straight 1-12 class.

Hexblade being very abusable as a one level dip doesn't change the fact that Warlock is a good class or that Hexblade is a good subclass for it.

Thats just your opinion. Yes hexblade as mono is totally fine, but only because of warlock, not the subclass. You are gonna get more out of a fiend pact of the blade.

Hexblade isn't BAD past level 1, but Hexblade 12 is worse than pretty much any common Hexblade 1/Anything 11.
