Serious Help In Choosing A Class

Ligeiae - Lost City

I've been playing PWI for a few months now and I've tried out almost every-single class.
I have:

Cleric F Lv 20
Venomancer F Lv 24
Archer F Lv 24
Barbarian M Lv 12
Assassin M Lv 12

M = Male F = Female

I don't know what it is but I seem to resent using my characters; it's not that I haven't allocated the skill points wrongly or anything, I just seem to get bored after level 20 and I get all self concious when I see a female character playing and they seem to have a 'husband'.

My recent character that I've been using is my Cleric, but after viewing a few videos and seeing other discussions on this forum, it has made me kind of hesitate levelling her.

E.g. I don't particularly want to spend the game casting Ironheart Blessing constantly and buffing and reviving people who don't really appreciate it.

With my Veno and my Archer, it's more or less the Female thing that makes me resent them.

Barbarian is that I just don't have any fun tanking or using the pathetic looking beast mode. Not to mention the lack of customisation - Tiger, Wolf, Panda.

This may seem like more of a rant than an actual'y help thread, but I would appreciate you guys to tell me why I should play a certain class and why.

Thanks for reading b:pleased

Getting married is a serious investment - 30 gold each for the bride and groom packs - so unless you're prepared to dump some money into the game, please don't worry about the "wife of John Doe" title other women have.

Those videos are problably of squads, and there's a lot more to cleric play than healing/buffing in squad. Most of your quests will be killing mobs that you are perfectly capable of killing yourself, and will be done solo or possible squadded with random people doing the same quest in the area to speed things up. In these, you will only cast the occassional ironheart on others, and will spend more time killing.

Okay, so you don't like tanking... what kind of play do you enjoy? We can give you better advice if you give us more input.

All depends on your playstyle so let us know what sort of thing you're after.
Archer/Assassin/Wizard/Psychic - Damage Dealers, attack styles vary.
Barbarian - Tank, high HP, low damage, aggro skills
Blademaster - Less HP than a Barb but more powerful attacks, sometimes second choice for tank, 4 weapon paths (fist/spear/swords/axe-hammers)
Cleric - Party support, healer and buffer, nice range of attack skills also.
Venomancer - Puller/lurer, excellent for solo grinding/questing.
