Some overarching points:

* Obviously snowpowder's subjective POV * Tier list is for dps only, utility not taken into account * Assuming ceiling performance * Only accounting for the 3 KR endgame raids (thaemine, echidna, behemoth) * He is using 0/0.5/1/1.5 instead of 1/2/3/4 or S/A/B/C because the gaps are much smaller * If the class is mentioned instead of specific engravings, it means he thinks both engravings perform similarly

Translated tier list

Tier 0: Igniter surge(trixion) >= asura BK fullmoon

\* Surge goes down a tier in mech-heavy raids

Tier 0.4: empress barrage mastersummoner nightedge esoWD RE destroyer

Tier 0.5: scrapper reaper FI

-----------------------------small gap------------------------

Tier 0.5 gatekeepers: DS emperor BT

Tier 1: aero slayer scouter DI striker reflux glavier soulfist // bottom of tier 1: PM CO mayhem EW

Tier 1.5: firepower gunlancer LC TTH PS pistoleer

Some additional context he mentioned verbally

* Balance overall is much better right now than before the balance patch * There is still a gap between 0.5 and 1tier - if all else is equal, tier 1 and below will never beat tier 0.5 and above * The gap however is nowhere near as big as before - give good synergies to tier 1 and trash synergies to tier 0.5 -> tier 1 can beat it * If players make mistakes, the gap becomes even smaller - tier 1 at ceiling can perform comparably to tier 0 making mistakes * GL is still cooked, takes 2x GL to do 1x tier 0 damage
