I'm also trying to decide between a Dwarf Paladin, Cleric, or Warrior :P But I want to be a dwarf

2. If you don't like pulling then monk, ranger and bard are all out. If there is no monk in group (or you are outdoors) then you are being lazy to not be the puller on a ranger / bard. 3. If you like damage and utility then shaman, enchanter, rogue and possibly necro / SK are in depending on your idea of utility. Druid, mage, wizard, warrior all severely lack in either damage or utility. Druid has both of these but is incredibly weak at higher levels outside of very specific circumstances. 4. If you want to be able to solo then rogue, SK and paladin are out. All are possible to solo with but it's slow and it sucks. No one will beg to have a necro in their group (even though they are good in groups) so that's out. Literally the only class left is enchanter. Which would be my recommendation. Enchanter is semi-OP, is only gear dependent on incredibly cheap items, is the second best soloer, one of the best groupers, has an easy-ish epic, has multiple different playstyles, can join chardok AE, has no faction issues... the list goes on. The only class better is a shaman with 350k to blow.

shadowknight (when played correctly) can make for a great DPS class. requires little healing, and can offtank in a pinch

not knocking SKs, they are fun to play and that's my main on live but I would hardly consider them a "great dps class" relative to a comparatively-geared actual dps class, especially in Velious era

As for movement: you can easily, easily either farm the plat for Jboots on a Mage or simply camp them yourself. Really, it's quite easy either way. Mage is the absolute best (you might argue tied with Necro) class for pure plat farming. You can't solo the high end mobs like an Enchanter or Shaman, but your pet can absolutely mow through guards, seafuries, hill giants, spectres, etc... and do so with essentially no risk. As for the roots, get a bag full of Wooly Silk Spider Nets or Crystalline Silk Nets. The latter are dirt cheap and will save your life repeatedly even with a 2 second cast time. Eventually you will get a full bag of the instant cast (and rechargeable) Wooly Silk Nets, at which point not having the actual spell root becomes more of a minor annoyance than a big deal, since you can carry around 30 instant casts of root with you in one bag, which is more than sufficient for breaking camps solo or for the occasional emergency root when caught without a pet up. Mage is a great middle ground class in terms of actions per minute. You aren't running around pulling or casting all the time, but you've got to keep your pet attacking, hasted and well positioned, should be spamming your Burnt Wood Staff as much as possible, recasting DS on the tank frequently, and summoning mod rods and other items as needed. You've also got a surprisingly diverse (for such a seemingly limited class) range of playstyles depending on whether you are soloing, duoing or grouping. Example: solo you should be using the pet reclaim method with a fire pet, duoing you might fear kite with a Necro or Druid, or pet tank with a healer. And grouped you'll be keeping up a DS, summoning items (and players with CoTH) and occasionally blowing your mana bar on nukes or emergency CCing with pet offtank and root nets on an overpull. tl;dr there's a lot more to the Mage class than /pet attack while you med or run around in circles. | |||

OP I think your issues are more with your playstyle and less with your class itself.
Playing monk for a full group kinda sucks. Go for a duo with a shaman or a trio like mnk/shm/nec or mnk/clr/enc and you'll have a lot more fun. Mages at low level only look bad due to ridiculous twinkage. Especially now that NPC DA/DW checks are up, Mages do a LOT of damage at high level. There are plenty of people on the server who are lazy/bad. You have to make a friends list and/or join a guild and find the ones who don't suck. | ||

I might try to level up an enchanter. I like to HAVE things to do, I just don't like pulling 24/7.
I have a pretty decked out monk, and lots of alts with their own gear, so thankfully I can level each without too much fear | ||
