[EazyEJ]

[Ironmann]

The new one that is comming out is the best one, you better wait for that character.

[Demion]

ranger and rogue:P

Most powerful? Hard to say.

Most popular? I guess Trickster Rogue ("Wah wah OP!") and Hunter Ranger ("Ooo shiny and new!")

Most needed? I guess Guardian Fighter (Maybe, as Tank), and Devoted Cleric (Heals!!!!!!)

Control Wizard is somewhere in the middle, as far as I can tell so far. Helpful in a group but not necessarily needed.

Great Weapon Fighter can also pull its weight but many complain (I think still?) about it being underpowered, but if you're into DPS melee warrior types, still go for it.

Everyone on the official forums is calling GWF massively OP ATM, at least in PvP.

Ok, I was only going off of launch :)

Good to know, ty.

[Astasia]

Ya my main at launch was a GWF,was so bad. I haven't played her since coming backso have no idea what the changes were, but ya people have compared GWFs to raid bosses in PvP.

CW's are still about the best class, at least for PvE which is my main focus in the game. 4 CW's and a devoted cleric can really tear things up.

But GWF's are def a lot better now, and I really like the ranger which is probably the best PvP class and is plenty good in PvE too.

It really depends. In PVE I think the classes are very well balanced, and all have their role to play.

In PVP the only class that I have seen to not really be able to hold its own is the Guardian Fighter, sure they soak up damage but they dont dish out enough to be much of a threat.
Rogues are a terrible pain in the rear and I have been 1shotted by them on more than one occasion, they are also very good at stunlocking people.

But honestly I think a well played Great Weapon Fighter may be the strongest PVP class. They get an ability (that is powered up by being attacked) that lets them Hulk-Out. They get stronger, seem to take less damage, gain a boat load of temporary hitpoints, and become immune to crowd control (roots, stuns etc). They can be almost unkillable in a 1v1 against any other class.

I play a Ranger as my main and love it. Very well balanced. I have a lot of options for AOE damage or single target damage, several roots for crowd control, and can make good use of critical hits. The downside is I dont have much damage mitigation or hit points, and no stuns.

all of them are good depends on what race you choose too. most likely the best one is gonna be the one that is best one for you and i mean wich one is easier for you to use for me the rouge is easier so for me he is the best character
