Paladin warlock and sorcerer warlock not being mentioned is crဣiminal. Also, str based barbarian monk but mentioning rogue barbarian where it doesn't actually work bc rogues use dex and rage only works with str is absolutely moronic. Lastly, if I were to level dip a druid, it would be 3 levels totem barb to rage and make my wildshapes exponentially more effective and the lack of ac moderately better if my dex and con were high enough

Honestly, ridiculous list. Not having artificer as 1 and bloodhunter as 2 in lieu of a figꦯhter subclass is insane. Having monk and paladin higher than druid... did this author ever play a druid? Keeping track of k🔯i points is essentially spell slot management without the complexity of casting. Paladins burn most slots on smites and most of their spells are smite or aura options. The highest difficulty on Paladin lies more in stacking your two auras (at 7+) with an aura spell and even still, that's usually something the dm is left to keep track of.

The depth and difficulty of the class in some instances gets easier or h𒉰arder the later into levels you get. Ex. Bloodhunter takes a lot of planning and you kind of have to think about it back to front for build but Artificer gets more complicated the higher in levels you go, as you can change, almost, your entire pc 🌼build in a few in game days with infusions and spell selection. If you take artillerist or defender, you add on a companion and stat block for it with sub options for artillerist. It's a lot to manage.

An accurate list would be:

1. Artificer

2. Bloodhunter

3. Warlock

4. Druid

5. Wizard

6. Sorcerer

7. Paladin

8. Monk

9. Cleric

10. Bard

11. Ranger

12. Rogue

13. Fighter

14. Barbarian
