Weakest class, What is the weakest character types in the game? Options

[Ryel ril Ers]

The topics a little bit strange, but i want to hear pros and contras of the "weak" classes.

One: The players see what are the worst choices, and which character better that position.
Two: There are nonliked classes and i want hear that they are really useless.

Monk:
the worst class in the beginning of the game (in irenicus dungeon) the blade and the two triple class. The monk have better thaco and a spirit armor or barskin solve his AC problems.

Thief/Cleric
In the beginnig he weak a bit but when he get the 5 level spell he will rock:
Slay living or harm from hide (with non-detection).
Blade barrier from hide. (cheese)
You can make him Thief/Fighter with a spell and you can backstab with club or staff (staff of ram example).
The righteous magic grant you max damage and plus hp for backstab.
You can use time trap with cleric spells. You can use several timetrap in different location so when you need it you must only retreat and the enemy cannot break your spell.
Combination of arcane and divine magic (with scrolls perhaps)
Theese methods except the last two don't work in IA so he is very frustrating character.

Divine->Non Spellcaster
A late level 13 druid is cool as fighter. You gain lot of spells from level 1-6 and you regain your abilitys back before you can get your level 14.
The cleric thief have better thaco than a normal and you get some interesting spell like i write it to thief/cleric. At 11 level you have spell up level 5 so it is as good in features than you choose single class thief with kit. And you get better hp (108 with normal mode and 16 con instead 80)!

The Cleric->ranger is also interesting character because you trade some hp and you get more spell like ironskin, champions strength. I will try it once.

In my opinion the mage->non spellcaster is the worst because the the mage in the best cases get 60 hp at level 10, and that is funny with a non-spellcaster.


Huh i get some idea.
