So what does everyone think is the most worthwhile and fun class to invest piles of plat in and twink out? And why?

I have seen twink monks just own everything. With a fungi tunic and a nice haste item and a good weapon they are very beastly.
I don't have the resources to roll twinks yet, but if I did it would probably be a monk. Not to mention he could power level all my buddies about as good as any other class can.

I'd say ogre or troll warrior is fun.

Monk for sure. Duel wield, regen, haste and you are all set!

I concur with monk. Melee in general benefit more from high-quality gear at low levels than casters do, and monks in particular were at the height of their power as a class during the Kunark-Velious era.

If platinum is truly no object (along the lines of you keep a backup prenerf stick on your EC alt "just incase," you use gate pots because you're too lazy to look for ports, etc.), any melee will be ridiculous. Which is the most fun, though, depends on the person.
Of course, with that kind of pp, enchanters, shamans, and necromancers will end up about as crazy as a melee, especially if solo/duo is your kind of thing. Clerics get crazypowerful with a lot of money too, but I don't think most people would consider that to be as much fun.

Go Rogue or go home. Get him a Fungi, Epic, some STR and HP gear and you'll shred. Mine is 22 right now, ripping through deepwater crocs (dark blues) in Oasis and not losing a single HP.

The solo road goes downhill fast for a rogue. You can dump a ton of plat into one but you will still be forced to group/duo before 45.
Monk is hands down the best melee for a twink. Its expensive but he will be a beast. If you want a caster, shaman is probably your best option.

Rangers are fun til about 40, when their skillcaps diverge from other melees and you experience first hand why they are utterly terrible.

Which is why they are fun to twink. Make an unrealistically powerful character who shouldn't have that ability on their own.

A paladin. Get a bevy of click toys, haste and regen and go have fun! A self sufficient paladin is a quirky solo experience. If you are able to solo as a paladin with ridiculous gear, then you're going to rock any group you join too =) Just load up a few stuns and POW!
Even before Deepwater can be used, if you are sickly geared you're going to be able chip down most any single mob you like before it can kill you off.
I am biased. But I've always had fun accumulating gear on my pally.
I still drool over CoF (haven't gotten one yet here!) and LOOOOOOVE giving a rooted mob the middle finger as I use my DW BP or Helm to top off and get going again.

The grind is still a bitch, but I've had a really fun time twinking an Iksar SK and leveling up non-PL style.

Am I the only one who understood the OP to mean, like, millions of pp, when he said "piles"?
Cause there is a pretty big difference between how ANY class plays if you are twinking with 200k vs. 2000k.

Monk. Fists down.
Plate melees, war/sk! So much options gear-wise; monks it's prty much get a haste item+fungi, park it at Dalnir and farm crescent for the rest of the slots? Also think shaman-alt is the thing to do. Kinda like iksar necro/Monk was what everyone was working on pre-kunark.

I have a necro and a monk, I shoveled all my plat into my monk for a while as monks get better efficiency out of gear, but necros are still way better at soloing. Just get some HP gear, and depending on how much money you have you can get your necro to like 1.8k self buffed, you can run around fucking everything up

I think the best way to twink is to really focus on your Race/Sex combo in addition to your class.
Also, consider that your twink doesn't have to be your meal ticket and min/max. have fun with unlikely combinations:
Eru/Female/Sk
Gnome/Male/Warrior etc..
I'd avoid rogue because regardless of how hard you're twinked, you're still going to need a partner or a group past let's say 35?
