I've always considered paladin to be the best class in the game, considering it's the only class who can cast healing spells (besides priest, but pallies can actually use good gear) and buff themselves to a ridiculous level ( " " )
I can't wrap my head around why people like archers and rogues, stealth doesn't seem to work, and if it did, it really isn't that useful in a game based nearly entirely around combat, and the only way to improve with the crossbow is to raise accuracy and hope for crits.
