With a new group, not for very long. I'm a pretty solid optimizer and I specialized my skill in that realm for squeezing every tiny iota of worth out of low-tier classes and builds. As long as the GM isn't antagonistic to it, low-tier classes can hold their own just fine and I can make them shine better than most. Side affect of being a forever-gm in the past and wanting to have variety in my antagonists without just hand-waiving everything. If I can make a bloody forsaker work, getting a fighter up to snuff is no big deal.
