Rank the classes in terms of strength in module 5 ?

I would really like to know your opinions.

Currently it's obviously HR > Every single thing. But will it be the case in mod5 with PB fixed? Are the classes equal? Probably not. Is HR #1 again or is it TR now?

Rank the classes from the strongest to weakest, ty men.

Will post my own ranking later.

HR/TR
CW/GWF/GF/DC
SW

Maybe.

Wouldn't the Mod 5 DC melt the GWF before they even close in?

it will be
1 scoundrel tr
2 intimidation gwf
3 hr
4 sabotuer tr / cw / sw
5 gwf
6 dc
7gf
8 ececutioner tr

Premade overall strength:

TR, DC (can backcap/one shot / can make teammates immortal)
CW (can significantly buff team, intercept, decent CC/DPS), HR (HR is HR duh)
GWF (nice AoE damage, nice tankyness, needs some adjustments to make the class better for mod 5), GF (nice buffs, ability to one-rotation)
SW (great damage, decent selfheals, issues surviving being focused)

actually.
GWF/GF are on a equal standing, and no more intimidation for BIS premades...

TR/HR probably first
CWs second
DCs

but it's hard to make a top either way ..

Interestingly;

1 is less effective against MI TRs
2 can be very hard-pressured by ranged WKs
3 is now suppressed by perma WKs
4 needs to be extremely careful against 2
5 can 1shot 1 and 4
6 DPS versions eats Healer versions a live
7 can stand up to 2, 4, 5
8 still remains a wildcard

yeah pretty much my top with the exception I put DC to number one with TR

I fought quite a few DCs in preview and they are ranging from hard kills if they are less geared/skilled to almost impossible to kill/requiring different setup. Witnessed instant heals from 20% Hp to 100%, 3 consecutive long stuns on me, 0 damage taken inside Astral, huge normal heals, lots of CC resistance and so on. They can heal up the party too, I just won't die with DC near me.

These things warrant a number one for DC together with the TR IMO.

I put HR to number 2 at same level with CW because while they are great on their own, they kinda bring nothing special to a premade and they can die easily when focused. The class is still kinda broken, but sadly all classes are in Preview, and it will go live like this...

The dcs I met on preview said the no damage taken in astral was a bug for what its worth. I haven't gone into their thread to get it from the horses mouth because I don't care but its what they said while standing around in iwd.

Even without AS, it'll be very hard to kill healing/tanking DCs.
They won't kill anyone either,- they'll be like permaTRs now.
