Anyway, here's my question, now in the few last days i've started to think of making a warrior maybe. Which do you people suggest me to do? Should i pick an E/ or a W/, not in enjoyability but also in terms of usefulness, is it better, why? And such kind of things. Thanks ahead

Necro: Minion Masters and SSers are Great and most of the time wanted.
Monk: You need a Healer. (Rits works also great if you know how to do)
Ele: Great Damage output and you can knockdown and interupt Targets easy.

2. Warrior...Everybody loves a good tank
3. Monk...Somebody has to heal the team, however a N/Rt healer or N/Mo works well too.
4. Ele...Great in NM, Good support in HM. Can easily run almost any caster secondary with the high energy pool they have.

Either Assassin's Promise / Cry of Pain / Smiting based, plus the bread and butter PvE skills: Assassin Support, the Ebon Wards, Pain Inverter, Finish Him, YMLAD, etc. You can even 600/Smite with another Monk or Rit while the rest of your team leeches. lol.

2. Necro. Similar to Monks they can fill nearly any position. Debuff, damage, healing (N/Rt), with even better energy management than Monks can ever hope to have. I prefer Monk due to aesthetics though (totally personal pick).

3. Warrior. They are usually the most desired melee frontliner due to high damage, high defense, high shutdown via KDs. Dervishes and Assassins are nice, but usually require more factors to work as well due to their relative squishyness and can usually bring less utility than a Warrior.

4. Ele. Similar to the reasons given to Monk and Necro. Can play many different roles, which makes them versatile and fun to play as.

Of course this is just opinion and by no means a 'rank' of which classes I think are best, just the ones that can see most overall usage. That being said, I ranked Warrior at #3 and I never had a PvE Warrior - I just feel they are indeed more desired (I prefer to melee as an Assassin! lol).

Most important of all is to play a class you have fun as. If you like hitting things on the face with a big hammer, then healing stuff all night might get you bored fast. Play what you like and don't care about what others say/want.

Good luck.
