Top 5 archetypes would probably go something like this:
1. Knife Master Rogue: having a rogue be the best with knives just feels right. They should be able to use them via throwing and close combat and should feel badass while doing so.
2. Shadow Walker/Eldritch Scoundrel Rogue: a magical trickster or a controller of light magic fits right in with the rogue as well. I rank them evenly as shadow walker's power to control light levels is a really cool concept that could be added to an eldritch rogue even as a type of rogue talent tree, but it fits right in with magical rogues as well.
3. Tattooed Sorceror: Hasn't been done justice or implemented in a way I enjoy yet, but the idea of deriving a sorceror's powers from their tattoos is so flavorful and interesting.
4. Magic Missile Wizard: not an archetype as far as I know but the idea of a Wizard perfecting the most basic spell known to wizards and having it stay relevant as you level in any number of ways is my ideal wizard.
5. Mooncursed Barbarian: bestial rage and lycanthropy in a class. Both of these are really cool concepts and I enjoy them a lot.
