Bard, Shaman, Druid
- rank their ability to solo
Bard can level super quickly and solo with some effectiveness depending on the location and target. Not one of the core "solo" classes though, so won't perform even close to a necro/shaman/enchanter.
Shamans will level slower especially in the early levels, but are the best soloers later after 200k+ of plat investment and only at level 60.
Druids will level quickly, but have much less late game power.
- rank relative end-game power
Shaman top tier. Druid and Bard not so much (for solo). Bard super useful in group forever. Druid can be useful, but less so.
- rank usefulness/demand in a group/raid
Bards always needed. Guilds are overflowing with shamans and druids, so demand is low.
- rank their popularity
Shamans and druids are massively popular, bards kinda less so.
I recommend any of these classes, but you will probably feel the most limited as a shaman of the three. Bard is probably my favorite class. But I love my druid too for the ability go anywhere at any time engage heavily with the community.
