In this ranking of the 12 classes in Baldur's Gate 3, I start by acknowledging the vast options available, especially with multiclassing, which can lead to over 100 combinations. Each class is viable and enjoyable, but my personal opinions shape this subjective list. Starting from the bottom, the Ranger ranks last due to its limited effectiveness compared to other classes. While it has a fun pet companion and some stealth options, other classes like Rogues and Fighters outperform it in ranged combat. Next, the Druid comes in at number 11. Although it offers unique abilities like Wild Shape and interesting subclasses, it lacks a strong focus in any particular area, making it feel less impactful overall. The Monk, at number 10, has great gear and burst damage potential but is limited by its unarmed combat style and fewer role-playing options. The Rogue, in the ninth position, excels in stealth and damage output but faces competition from other classes that can also achieve stealth effectively. Its flexibility is somewhat restricted, especially with certain subclasses. The Barbarian ranks eighth, providing a fun melee experience with its rage mechanic and heavy-hitting capabilities. However, it lacks spellcasting and can be outclassed in damage by other classes as the game progresses. At number seven, the Cleric offers a lot of role-playing opportunities and flexibility in combat, but it doesn't excel in any one area, making it a solid but not standout choice. The Wizard, in sixth place, is versatile with spell options and can learn nearly every spell in the game. However, it lacks flexibility outside its role as a traditional spellcaster. The Bard ranks fifth, being a jack-of-all-trades with excellent dialogue options and combat flexibility. Its ability to learn various skills makes it valuable for passing skill checks and engaging in role-play. The Sorcerer, at number four, stands out with its metamagic abilities, allowing for enhanced spellcasting. However, it has a limited spell pool compared to Wizards. The Fighter takes the third spot as the best martial class, excelling in damage output and versatility with both melee and ranged attacks. Its straightforward playstyle may feel repetitive to some. The Warlock, in second place, shines with its powerful Eldritch Blast and spellcasting flexibility. Its unique mechanics and ability to refresh spell slots make it a strong choice. Finally, the Paladin claims the top spot. It combines reliable damage through Divine Smite, flexibility in spellcasting, and a rich role-playing experience tied to its oaths. The Paladin's balance of combat effectiveness and narrative depth makes it my personal favorite class in the game. I encourage viewers to share their own rankings and thoughts in the comments, as this list is subjective and open to discussion.
