    Easy DPS? GWF.

    TR : Great damage, but you live on the knife's edge of survivability - play smart, and you can control every fight.

    GWF: A devastating beast, but it is easy to get overconfident and end up a red smear on the floor. Learn when to use unstoppable and when you can or cannot take a hit or afford to stand in the red. I find the sentinel path to be best, here.

    CW: Great damage, and great controls, but you can't take a hit, (devoting an encounter slot to shield can alleviate this somewhat). Getting just the right power rotation is key, and it really determines your playstyle.

    SW: Right now, (and ever since Mod6 hit, really), they have a big issue with survivability. A good tanking pet, or if you go all-out on the damnation line, can help somewhat, but it's still an uphill battle. I find SWs can offer good sustained damage, but again, their squishiness is an issue.

    HR: It's all about flexibility, here. I prefer attacking from range, and using the melee version of the encounters for buffing/healing purposes. You lack hard controls, and must rely on grasping roots or maneuvering/positioning to stay alive, (not unlike the other "squishy" classes).

    GWF for maximum damage and the easiest to play.

    CW and GWF will get you the most love for party invites for epic dungeons

    HR/SW/righteous DC/TR all do good damage

    It's really about your playing style and how you like to deal damage. Don't play what's best to day just because its the best. Classes get changes all the time. Play the type of character you will enjoy

    I'd be careful about investing heavily into a GWF, the executive producer is aware that the GWF is overpowered. This might be a hint for a future nerf.

    GWF: easy to play; big buffs in mod6; lots of defense; biggest dmg; outdpsing other dps classes 2:1 in TOS, ECC and in Tiamat.
    If those buff stacks are up it can easily do 1mill+ IBS, Crescendo. Best selfbuff of the game: Hidden Daggers.

    SW: big dmg; right after GWF.
    Damnation was termendously buffed in mod6; Soul puppet can easily do 500k-1mill+ hits with wrath claws; with TT you can always do millions of dmg in seconds; Scorched Earth also a very good single target dmg; You have the best dmg to farm WOD dragons with Fabled set.
    stock and stone I can master, but there's a Wizard to manage here!

    everything gets its turn at being the OP class. So i wouldn't make my decision on what may be nerfed or may be good now. You pick what you enjoy the style of
