list:
- your opinion of the most powerful class(s)

-what book they are from

-why you think they are the strongest class(s) in your opinion

PHB

Full spellcaster that is almost as good (if not as good) as any arcane caster in offensive utility, but also has a plethora of defensive and reparative spells. They can turn undead, and with the huge selection of turning feats out there, that feature alone is a huge boon to the cleric. The real kicker, though, is that they can do all this in full plate without spell failure.
