So I've seen plenty of threads about various classes being underpowered or overpowered. Taking that all into consideration how would you rank all 19 classes in order from most OP to least? I'm betting Summoner will #1 and Cavalier #19 for most people.
No, no not really. The tier system has been discussed extensively on boards other than this one and has a fairly good grasp on how thigns are.
Most agree that prepared full casters sit atop this tier with most of the other full casters sit on T2. The only real disagreements are on who occupy the 4 tiers down.
For those of you who don't know what tiers are, Link!
Btw, I wouldn't count cavalier as 19 for everyone. You've got fighter/monk/rogue to contend with.
Full Casters and Summoners > 6th level spell casters other than Summoner > 4th level spellcasters > Barbarian > All the other non-magical, full BAB classes > Monk and Rogue
