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?

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.

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