Sniper is also my favourite. He's very flexible, can melee or ranged focus single targets well, can save on stim use hugely with cloak and headshots, can make some of the best use of melta bombs and is great with cloak at reviving. About the only real weaknesses he has are dealing with large hordes, which you're best letting other suited classes deal with and a skill requirement to hit headshots consistently (can be an issue with certain enemies). You can soften up majoris and higher for easy executes for melee classes for great support, and are one of the best anti neuro/zenothrope classes in the game.

It helps that I personally like the block knife as probably my favourite single target melee weapon too, I even use it on vanguard and tactical. Not great at crowds but can deal great single target damage.

I also run block. It's satisfying when you learn the timings and sekiro enemies into shambles. The fact it is mainly single target focused becomes balanced out by the constant AoE burst you do to enemies around you as you gain 2 charges and release. Very satisfying.

I also forgot about the fact you can carry melta and drop one every 30 seconds and erase whatever is bothering you. Great class. Very slept on.

Bulwark for the stackable AOE affects. Strongest in crowds, strongest when cornered, strongest on the back-foot. A class that fully embodies its name

I like sniper the most, i like popping xenos heads, and i like speed reviving my allies and making them invisible.

I do not like popping chaos heads as the hoods of their armor are hungry for bullets, and the blobs are jittery.

I think my favorite build on sniper is the shadow blade.
Along with equipment every 30 seconds.
Cloak up. Charge. Stab and delete something. Drop a melta. Repeat.

sniper yeah. when Im doing dailies and I feel like I need to carry I go sniper everytime. heroic bolt sniper for tyranid missions or ranged damage increase modifiers with a fencing knife for parry into headshot. heroic instigator and gladius for chaos missions or melee boost missions. I play most of the classes but sniper is the tried and true one for me.

Assault. If bulwark is the shield then I am the hammer. You break up small armies so fast and after working with the perfect dodging with the jetpack, can lead to some seriously high potential of output on your end.
The heroic power fist and heavy bolt pistol in tandem with the team perk for 30% gun strike damage is some of the most disgusting reset kill flow states you can commit to when dealing with armies of majoris.

Assault since day one. I have played and leveled all the classes, but my first class when the game launched was assault and played it constantly since. The freedom of movement with it, the damage it can do, and the playstyle. If you're running zealous blow the more enemies there are the stronger the class gets. Turns you into a berserker just keep jumping and flying around until there is nothing left to smash.
When the game was launched assault had such a fine line between doing good and dead with very little wiggle room in-between. That element of danger was exciting. It's a lot better now, thankfully, with defense mechanism perk and a good contested health recovery secondary.

Tactical. Wide range of primary weapons, great perks, excellent ability. Only real weakness is limited melee weapons.

Tactical, because he has the best team synergy, be it perks or class ability and his weapon selection is nice.

Vanguard. Freaking vampire killing machine. You cannot kill me, I am Omega.
Every class is cool and I really don't understand people who only play one.
Also, I don't like bad snipers, but only 2-3 of 10 are really good.

Good Vanguards are like assault lights when it comes to flying into a situation. they're just really good for also just jumping problem units.
a fleeing biovore getting grapnel'd before it can get far is always a sight or even just flying into a terminator to stop it's guns.

Heavy with heavy bolter, its just fun holding left-click on a horde of minoris enemies.

Assault. Because that's the Black Templar way.

Heavy. I didn't like him at first because he had no melee weapon. Buy he doesn't need anything else than his huge freaking boot. Stomp your way to freedom and blast melta to every thing else.

In seiges, when you get swarmed you're stomping, executing, and melting in this combat flow that is so satisfying
