I mean, first of all we need to quantify the meaning of the best. Like how do we quantitatively measure what makes a good combatant. What ability defines you as better than other people. Cognitive ability, reflexes, ability to code, problem solving skills. Then we have to figure out how to quantify these individual abilities, like reflexes is obv time.
Gonna need a list of peoples WPM, IQs and penis sizes.
Then I can make a formal judgement.

Would give my left testicle to make this list someday
To be honest, I wouldn't say that these lists are that worthwhile to get into to.
This list really speaks of who are the best in their respective class - and in many cases a person's name is given simply because they are the best of few who fight in that class. And while that may certainly make them the best in their class, I wouldn't say they are actually good.
List of best combatants in each class =/= list of good combatants. Personally, I think I'm a tad mediocre at Runewarden, because I really haven't spent any time for innovation into the class (I'd like to say this is because of future weaponry changes, but it's more because I haven't been feeling the combat lately, I suppose. Also that I don't need much innovation to kill mostly everyone). It's important not to judge your competence by how many people you can kill, but about who you can kill. Because the first is ridiculously easy, but the later can be quite difficult. Keeping this in mind, the majority of the people listed, while perhaps the best combatant you may find in their class, aren't actually...that great. For some, of course, the opposite holds true.
And I would highly advise you develop your own list of who is the best in Achaean combat lately (as in fight them yourself, at a high level, frequently), because developing your own opinion on a second party's bias (which is so clearly rampant here) isn't actually accurate. Surprisingly.

I hear your wpm is most excellent
not quite ellodin's but close
it's mostly due to my penis size. Because my penis is so small and my wpms can be faster.

Cascades of quicksilver light streak across the firmament as the celestial voice of Ourania intones, "Oh Jarrod..."

Priest: every Priest ever except Daeir
Come join the Achaea discord!
Pretty sure Daeir has been the worst at every class he's played. Takes true devotion to earn that title.
