Assassins are dumb. The poison ability is just sort of lame and +1 to hit and damamge? Might be great at lower levels but isn't terribly useful beyond that as thieves THACOs always sort of suck. Swashbucklers make MUCH better thieves in terms of combat.
Shapeshifter is also pretty dumb. No armor?!?!? This isn't a monk type who gets better AC with levels so whats up with that? The werewolf shapeahift is nice but gimme a break. Hiding in the back of the group until one of the ever so useful druid spells is needed or a werewolf in your party makes NO sense.
I have to disagree about the wizard slayer in that they are GREAT against high level mages with the spell casting failure. Plus you don't lose out much with being restricted in magic items. He is a fighter afterall...

Rangers and paladins can't go beyond specialised either and they are far from rubbish. You're forgetting all the benefits of a barbarian, imunity to maze, imprisonment etc when enraged, resistances to slashing weapons....rubbish??? I don't think so, not as good in a straight fight as a pure fighter maybe but you just have to use them right.
I personally hate playing druids i think clerics are far better. (Or Ranger clerics)
