Do you regret your first class choice?

I chose to roll a TR from the start, my wife chose GWF.
Things were fine until 60, but it wasn't long until we discovered the difficult in gearing up for T2 dungeons. No doubt the reason being that there are far too many rogues and not enough groups that need a GWF. Everything in chat pertains to GF, DC or CW most of the time.
If we had our time back we would have rolled a CW and DC, which is precisely what we're doing now.
Do you regret what you first rolled? Or rather have you since rolled a class that you enjoy playing more?

My first was a TR, realy enjoyed it at the time, i dont know why realy, i guess it 'looked' the most fun, this was way back in open beta, and when i hit 60 i started a CW , when that hit 60 i rolled a cleric, not with intentions of getting to 60, i just wanted to see how they played, but instantly loved it and still do.
I guess at first I was abit worried at how a Cleric would go in the many solo instances you go through while lvling up, but tbh i found them alot easier and had no problems at all. although i did use the man-at-arms companion (stacked with defence enchants) to keep agro off her, which worked realy well.
Now 7 lvl 60's later my mains are DC and CW, my TR is now my AH and bank alt, even though it is pretty well geared. LOL.
Out of them all i still think Cleric is the most fun not only to lvl up but also to play end game. i guess at first a 'healer' sounds maybe abit boring for some, but they are alot more than that. i have 3 60 clerics now, with slightly different builds, love playing them all.
Even though i dont play my TR no more, i dont regret making it, it learnt me abit about the game, plus its nice to know how other classes work.
I rolled a Rogue back in closed beta and loved it and, surely enough, when open beta started I rolled a Rogue again. I also have a level 60 CW with decent gear, a level 40 GWF and a level 36 DC and I like all, but the I still find the TR the most fun to play.
I had no problems gearing up and I am not really a hardcore player - I mostly play for fun. I know it takes a while to gather everything, but it's not that hard.

Did you gear up your rogue before the BoP change?
I am finding it very difficult. T2 is so far out of my price range on the AH that it's not worth it and I've often gone the full hour of DD as of the past month without one queue pop or one response to my typical "10.4k TR LF T2" to which there's always a plethora of rogues with higher GS doing the same thing that I am. I've found better luck in forming my own groups. Since I'm only experienced with Pirate (over 30 runs), and 1 FH and 1 Karr run under my belt I tend to avoid trying to make my own groups for those ones.
In any case my CW is only level 18 and already I can tell that I'm going to enjoy playing it more.
So far, ive played all but GWF and I enjoy them all to varying degrees. All play so uniquely differently that each one has its own little appeal for me.
Two squishy classes which always require you to have a constant knowledge of your surroundings and ability to read your enemies' movements. Just love them.
I'm just lv 42 but so far I've loved it a lot and I've enjoyed the game.
I like Rogues more than Assassins, I prefer to be the annoying guy on the side than the silent killer, but not many games give us both options. When ranger is out I'll definitely give it a try.
DC, GWF, GF, CW, TR
Play all of them still, except CW, which is just professions/invoke.
DC is funnest for me to play, but GF is close 2nd.
I've not yet gotten him to max level, with a bunch of other characters I have. I still play him on occasion. I've been relunctant to do much in terms of leveling him besides some arenas, prayer and foundary here and there due to waiting for people I play and Rp with.
GF and CW are my favorite.
SO! When NW rolled around and companions came with every class, I rolled a DC to go with the joke. It's not so funny since I actually do a decent job....
Anyway, I stopped playing her after a while, since I was trying hard not to over-level friends and rolled a CW to play while waiting on them. CW became the new main.
Now everyone's about caught up so I went back to the DC and got her up to snuff, while starting a third, a GWF. He is on stand-by as I only play him while a certain friend is on, till they've caught up at least.
All of our characters (or companions, even) are loosely based off of RP characters we write about elsewhere. So, I will eventually play all of them.
While not the most desired on teams, I find my GWFs to be the most fun to play. They're tough, quick, do good damage, and put on a good show while you're playing them. Next comes my CW and DC - who offer the convenience of dishing out damage at range, while also offering some very useful buffs and debuffs. Last is the TR. There's no denying their coolness factor, and even though I leveled one to 60 on my own, I just can't seem to grasp the finer points of playing one...

Played a bit with CW recently & still having fun playing so, no, no regrets so far:)

2). Yes. I am panzer!

I got all the T1 gear before the BoP parch. Part of the T2 gear I got before BoP patch and some after. My gear score is about 1k more than yours. I realize it's more time consuming now cause you have to run dungeons for every piece of gear and the prices in the AH are insane compared to what they were before, but like I said it's not impossible - I bought the Ancient Spymaster Elegant Dagger for 740K a few days ago, which it's pretty much the same price it was going for before BoP patch. I find the process of gearing up a lot of fun, but I do realize for some it may fell like a chore.
I have done a few T2 Dungeons, but Pirate King is the one players run more often and so do I.
I also find the CW very enjoyable to play so I understand why you like it so much.
Anyways, I was not trying to convince you to stick with your TR
Whichever class you pick, I wish you the best of luck.
My second character, and the only one I've deleted so far, was a GF. Hated that one, though. Too **** slow for me.

Then, a couple of major patches much later killed the DC as we knew it and it become the pitiful backseat healer, cherry-picking targetted heals, barely able to kite anything, fascimile that it is today. In addition, every major patch more and more of the class has become broken ending up in Feywild where nominally BiS gear has huge amount of stats that cannot be used by the class, broken key feats, broken key spells, massive nerfs to damage and AP-gain and therefore aoe spells, etc.
Sometime in late beta, I made a Tiefling CW and not only did I hugely enjoy levelling the class (had enough income from my Cleric to gear it to the teeth with augment class pet etc.), but every major patch since that destroyed the Cleric only served to improve my CW! Therefore, that class became my main and I used it to complete all the content in the game and all achievements I could lay my hands on, many of which are difficult on a Cleric (Executioner, Paingiver, Headhunter, Bloodthirsty, etc). The only remaining achievements being castrated due to everyone else in my mid-sized guild leaving the game pre-Feywild and never returning...
After doing that, I made an Orc GF (after the class got its damage buffed in a major patch), and levelled up almost as quick as my CW and made it my PvP alt. I found it very enjoyable and to this day when I still log in to the game at all, this is the class I play.
The only other class I considered making was a TR alt, but to get the most from it in both PvE and PvP is highly costly and post-Feywild, levelling and farming all over again from scratch at a far lower rate than before is not appealing at all. I would rather save all that effort and existing income for a later date, if Cryptic ever introduced a new class...
I don't regret it, I still think I made the right choice for what I want to do as endgame: play in groups, play one of the tougher roles and get some satisfaction from it.

i think i have good days and bad days with my characters. i have five, three at 60 and two working their way there. the only character i've considered deleting is my GF because i'm not too keen on the shield mechanic. but... so far she's still around.
Tbh I didn't know that CWs were very required, and I think it's right. I have played some MMOs that made Mages/Wizards as 100% DPS and no utility. At least I'm seeing this right here. Also CWs are not that all on PvP so I don't see problem with us.
BUT I hate the HV bonus... yes, it's OP but it's buggy and I want SW to have better status (HV normal status are terrible). Using HV is mandatory and I hate this.
To make TRs and GWFs more important, this game should get a boss Berserk or something like that. W/o it you can make an endless battle with only GFs and DCs. Or, at least, make one of their powers mandatory to kill a boss.
I think there are a lot of stuff to organize on dungeons yet, the mechanics are very incomplete to my PoV.
I find my GWF a <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> ton of fun. The problem with GWF is that they don't have a specific role in parties but in single player they are a blast to play. I still have a bit of work before I get mine to max level, but, since I got a cleric companion, I find myself plowing through mobs and just bullying every boss so far.
