depends on your style

thief - you can become really overpowerd for a new guy to the game by levelling str and dex up to 14 and killing the undead merchant, if u upgrade the uchigatana often, it will always remain reliable if u have a few repair powders around. the only drawback is using a butcher's knife early on, high backstab but u cant backstab the asylum demon.

pyromancer - overpowered as soon as you gain the pyromancy flame. all the undead in the aylum and the undead burg are weak to fire and the bosses in both areas are heavily susceptible to fire. entering high level areas such as darkroot garden isnt a problem as the fire burns the demon foliages, stone knights hate fire....yeah it is a great class until about blightown which would be halfway through the game
