Overall class ranking throughout

The main metric for categorising the classes are based on "progress".
So, what is progress?
Mainly, there are 2 type of progress but at a later part of the game, only the second part of progress remains:
1) Levels (to access content)
2) Damage (on your own class)

Also note that the ability of one class to earn meso hugely affects how fast one character can progress in the game, which can be through buying leech or buying stronger gears.

A secondary metric that I would also like to use is content diversity, which in a sense, helps the player to be rather motivated to play the game longer and thus help with a faster progress. This will be somewhat more influential as the game progress into the late game with more bossing content being accessible. In terms of content, do mind that it also takes into account how wanted a class will be in such content.

How is this post useful?
Players can know what class is more rewarding based on how far they want to progress the game.
Also, hopefully a more holistic idea of how one class progress throughout the game instead of just which class is the best endgame wise.

What I want to gain from this post?
To learn about the difference in understanding of how the different classes perform at different stage of the game from other people perspective. So, comment down below if you think some classes should rank differently and why.

So, here is my personal ranking:

If anyone has any question for why I rank those classes in those positions, comment down below and I'll try to explain my view on the matter.
