I dunno. Beastmaster has potential. Get two *s in staves, then two handed weapons, and use Staff of Rhynn. Also, there are all those wonderful elemental staves, as well as a golem slaying staff. Also, with points already in dual wielding, you could switch out and use Blackblood and the Gnasher for most occasions. Being a Ranger means big hit points, some spell casting, healing, as for armor Shadow Dragon scale is one of the best armors in the game for almost any class. Really, the Beast Master is an ok class, it just looks bad at first. Heck, AC is not really an issue. Multiple castings of Armor of Faith can make you nearly immune to physical melee damage.
As for useless classes, only one comes to mind. I HATE Wizard Slayers. Not really big on fighters period.
