It all depends on how you want to play, that's the deal!

This whole idea of "better or worse" doesn't exist in my opinion when it comes to such a rich RPG.

In my case, I prefer Horde Breaker because I always have a barbarian in the party engaging with two or three creatures...

Now, without Leroy Jenkins in the party, you can invest in extra damage every turn.

Understand how you want to play, and how the group will have the most fun, that's the key!
