"Best Tank" depends on a lot of things.. like, raid or group? Straight up numbers Warrior is #1... between SK and Paladin I'd rather have a Paladin for heals, lulls, and the ability to hold aggro without breaking mez.
Level 50 with gear... Rogue > Monk = Magician | ||

First 4 are pretty obvious.
Best DPS Gotta go with Rogue overall. They were made for DPS, never get full or partial nuke resists and never run out of mana. Wizard with ice comet will do more damage on naggy, but they run out of mana and still probably get resists. Rogues really start to shine once they get Kunark era weapons and we start killing boss mobs that take longer than 2 minutes to kill. Best Soloer Enchanter, then necro. Enchanters can lull, clarity, fear, mez, memblur, stun, debuff, dot/nuke (poorly), wander around with little or no aggro in elemental forms, they have invis and IVU, and most of all they can charm. Necros can lich, FD, dot, snare, fear and send pet. Necro is an easier class to solo with but I'd say enchanters are more efficient with their ability to charm kite, the fact that a charmed npc will almost always outdps a necro pet, they can easily single pull, and their pure amount of utility spells and self clarity. Worst soloer Monks have mend, and Warriors have superior hp/ac so I gotta say Rogue. At level 60 with epic and decent gear I always had a hard time soloing light blues. I'm not sure how it is on emu servers, I've heard reports that if you time it right you can strafe around an enemy and get backstabs in mid battle. Best Duo Enchanter/Shaman

I agree with the above accept there are some missing points..
Yes, rogues can deal the damage - BUT be prepared to earn it. Rogues are very hard to lvlup. They are completely group dependant from lvl10+ (IF they're not twinked) They cannot take a hit for shit - it is similar to being a wiz with a dagger and no spells. It isnt until 25+ that they begin to deal some damage, but again it comes at a cost - learn how to control that damage or you wont do any at all (you'll be dead or royally piss off your healer) For a complete newb I would suggest a different class to be honest.. Druids, Necro, Shaman.... In that order... Druids = solo 100% + not so much gear dependant as other classes + portals + SoW Necro = solo 100% (kings like druids) + great pet dmg .. Pure damage solo class. Can solo anything if you know how. Sham = they can solo but it takes more playing skill than a dru/nec - gota be more skilled and manage your hp/mana more than the others + great buffs for groups - always wanted and never out of mana =). no one mention a mage please... mages become a major pain in the ass in kunark.. Some of your spells are going to cost you 10-20k each... They cannot solo as well as the classes I listed, not even close.. | ||
