The answer is complex and begs the question: "In which difficulty level is this character likely to be?"
There are some Amazons out there that would fit the description of "fast killer".
Similarly, a Soceress will yield a quicker result for certain bosses.
Conversely, fast progress through the game also includes the safety issue and survivabilty in all encounters, at which point the non-shield waving Amazon starts to get a little tricky.
Amazons are routinely fast killers in many areas.
Barbarians are routinely well equipped for most boss encounters.
Paladins have skill options to overcome most problems.
Necromancers, while slow, have high survivability options.
etc etc etc
