Bored at work. Here is my tier list. You're welcome.
Base Classes
S-Tier
Sorcerer - Specialized builds are able to solo/duo most runs.
Shifting Ranger - Excellent Offence/Defense/Utility.
A-Tier
Melee Bard – Tank build is a perfect complement to any party. Rapier wit build is C-Tier.
Caster Cleric - Pure builds can and will have more kills then the rest of the party combined. Picker build does Rogue job better than Rogue.
Caster Druid – Almost essential in most endgame content. Very powerful on its own.
Str Ranger- Excellent Defense, great offense/utility.
Fighter – Excellent offense and defense, lacking utility
Str Monk - Great offense and defense, free immunities, lacking utility
B-Tier
Barbarian – Great offense and defense, lacking utility. Shape strong build is F Tier.
Paladin - Overwhelming offense. Good defense/utility. Free immunities.
Battle Cleric – Great offense/defense/utility. Only drawback is reliance on self-buffs.
Rogue – Good offense/defense/utility
Caster Bard - Great complement to any party.
Wizard – Would be A-Tier if not for how overwhelmingly powerful Sorcs are in comparison(pls no sorc nerf).
Turner Cleric – Can be incredibly useful on certain runs.
Battle Druid – Decent alternative to caster Druid.
C-Tier
Dex Ranger - Can rack up some good kills. Good dex tank
Dex Monk - Lacking the damage of the top tiers
D-Tier
Wis Ranger – Can rack up some good kills. Unable to tank effectively.
F-Tier
Shifting Druid(Dragon)* – Mostly based on size issues and lack of versatility.
*Have seen this build be the top damage dealer in Nessus competing against an XR Str Ranger and BUR Shifting Ranger.
Prestige Classes
S-Tier
Shifter - Incredibly powerful and versatile in the right hands.
Champion of Torm – Excellent offense/defense and decent utility. Free immunities and self-restoration. The premier tank of Higher Ground.
A-Tier
Lash of Hatred – Good offence and defense. Great utility with inflictions.
Weapon Master – Great offense and defense. Decent utility with disarm/knockdown.
B-Tier
Blackguard - Overwhelming offense. Good defense/utility.
Strength Assassin – Can rack up high kill counts.
Arcane Archer – Overwhelming offense. Not suited for tanking.
Shadowdancer – Good offense and defense.
C-Tier
Dex Assassin – Good dex tank and good kills.
Dwarven Defender – Lacking in damage. Great tank.
Pale Master – Very powerful but lacking in versatility.
Red Dragon Disciple – Could possibly be B tier. Good at everything.
Quasiclasses
A-Tier
Accursed Pariah – Very good at what is does. Slightly less powerful than Sorc.
B-Tier
Dwarven Warchanter – A step down from the Tank bard.
Bane Knight – Lots of versatility. The right build could bring this up to A-Tier
Theurge – Lots of versatility. Difficult to use properly.
C-Tier
Divine Slinger – Would be D-Tier if not for Cleric Epics.
Staffmaster – Oh how the mighty have fallen.
Melee BFM – A very fun build
D-Tier
Gnomish Inventor – Rogue abilities keep it from being F-Tier. Class has huge potential.
Herald of Storms – In theory, a very fun class.
Caster BFM – Lacks punch in most endgame content. With the added potential of Party wipe.
Dragonstorm Mage - See Caster BFM
F-Tier
Lifethreader – Could be higher if not for its core strength being a potential party wiping ability in endgame content.
