Alright, as far as I can tell, JellySlayer is keeping mum about what the first mission and the subsequent ones actually are about. We can assume that early game survival will be the most important factor.
I'll go ahead and provide a preliminary ranking of classes as I would arrange them. I have no idea where duelists or chaos knights would actually fit on it, so I'm taking wild guesses and will let you correct me.
1. Wizard
2. Druid
3. Archer
4. Elementalist
5. Paladin
6. Barbarian
7. Beastfighter
8. Duelist
9. Necromancer
10. Priest
11. Ranger
12. Monk
13. Fighter
14. Assassin
15. Weaponsmith
16. Healer
17. Mindcrafter
18. Merchant
19. Bard
20. Farmer
21. Thief
22. Chaos Knight
(I don't really feel like rolling the corruption lottery if I don't even know the missions we're going to do, but I don't have actual idea how bad they are.)
This list probably sucks and you're going to tell me why, which is precisely what I'm after!
