Best Class?

[Auedar the Sexy Dancing Gnome]

I just wanted to start a thread to get some people talking. Who do you think is the best class and why? For soloing? For grouping? What do you think is the best class combination?

I personally think that sorcerers are pretty sick. They deal sweet dps, and if used right can solo fairly well. In AE groups they kick some major ass for nice exp, and they can deal some nice damage in a pinch, or mezz and kite adds that the tank didn't notice was bashing the shit out of the healer. Plus you get the uber sexy gnomeness. Also, what would be a good group combo to compliment a sorcerer?

The best class for apping PWHP is the class who posts an app. Get in gear, boy.

Cleric + Sorc = Deadly aoe grind
Cleric + Warrior = Grind anything with ease
Cleric +_______ = Amazing

Bottom line. Cleric owns all.
Id say Psion is my fav class to have in a group. Allows me to only have to taunt a single mob. =)

In my opinion......

"Alpha" class on pvp servers = Bear Shaman in crafted Str/Dex equip.

Classes that can solo 4 dots their lvl with good equip = Shaman, Cleric, Druid, Necro
Bards can solo with snare song + a good bow also, but it's probably a pain, Or chain charm 4 dotters down (without getting hit when refreshing charm or too many resists)
Unsure about Psi's but they can probably chain charm down 4 dotters with charm.
Other classes might be able to solo 4 dots but they definately aren't known for it.

Classes that I think are underpowered or dont have much utility - Rogue and Monk

Cool Classes :

Wolf form shaman (They can stealth in or levitate in just about Anywhere and then summon everyone in party to them [if summon works at that location] + they can use pet to offtank a mob as crowd control and keep their pet healed with relatively low cost to their energy pool)

Paladin (They can do some Severe Burst DPS by popping Zeal and unloading on skills + they get combat rez & heals) - the bad thing about pally is that they don't have abilities that build hate by <being hit> by mobs, a pally friend of mine on another server considers other tanks "easy mode". Generally speaking, a paladin that is on the lower end of the lvl curve of your group will not hold aggro as well as Warrior or Dreadknight of the same level unless he "pops" skills with long cooldown. However, he is the least likely to die of all tank classes because of self heals which also generate hate.
A good pally player might use self heal as well as skills just to add extra hate to the mobs, even if they're already full health and have tons of heals from group.

Bard (This class is miles ahead of other's of it's calibur) - they are full of utilities, do decent DPS and have excellent crowd control abilities. (Their CC utilities might not last as long as Psi's, but they can refresh them easily, and while refreshing - they dont get crushed as quickly as Psi's [this mostly applies to charm])

And, of course, Druid - I can make you my female dog. ..just kidding... no but I really can. <.<
