[Top 15] D&D Best Subclasses (Ranked Strong To Strongest)

With fourteen total classes (twelve of them found in the general Player’s Handbook), it seems that Dungeons and Dragons has a limited amount of possibilities for character creation. Once you’ve played a bard or a rogue for the first time, isn’t that it? With the same pattern of mechanics and character progression, don’t character classes become repetitive and boring?

Subclasses provide additional characterization and variety to the base character classes. A monk may focus on healing, protection, damage, or support based on the subclass they choose. A cleric or warlock may choose a different patron with contrasting personalities, motives, or arcane abilities.

Here are my top fifteen subclasses to spice up your next D&D character and turn them into a class of their own.
