So what class is used the most? Or Role, I should say?

Curious, as I like being a Any of the three, but the prefer melee DPS, and since I didn't get any of the founder packs, I only have that mage dps to start from. So I'm deciding between Paladin and the Healer one. XD

If i remember correctly the paladin is great to max out first cause you get special sigils when you max character trees that add buffs to all classes, and paladins is one of the best in the whole game.

i go lb because they are easier for bosses (for me at least) and youre less rooted in place

... pre-Ascension you did kinda have those tank / support / DPS roles... [no healers, in case someone was wondering. It's less 'healing' and more 'not taking damage' / 'take less damage']

Post-Ascension. No so much. In a sense there really is one role now, DPS. All classes are capable of DPS, just that some do more and/or easier to manage.

It's not that they removed it from the game... it's just how most of us play. Where we used to have a tank, support and 3x DPS... now we usually just have one ALC and 4 DPS. Everyone does DPS or buffs other DPS.

Where the 'roles' are most important now is the kind of special abilities they give you in divine form as well as the 'ultimates'.

Neither are the classes 'balanced' to the point that all the 'DPS' are valued the same.

There really isn't a healer class but you should probably go with the Lightbinder. Eventually, you'll want to unlock ALL classes regardless but the LB is easier to integrate into groups. So don't worry too much about it, all classes can DPS and that's what usually works best.
