Which class suits me?

Sounds like you would enjoy being a psychic. They are a magic class with a high survivabillity (considering they are a magic class) They are useful for TW, perhaps one of the best PvP classes but farming endgame with them can be slow compared to aps characters. The only class that really has a soloing abillity is the assassin class (if you consider self buffs only)

I would make a psychic


Wizards are great too, but not as easy to solo grind with.

I would recommend a wizard for all the reasons highlighted in red. It seems to best suit what you are looking for as stated above. Wizards have nice flashy spells meant to drop a lot of bodies simultaneously for situations like TW; they are great for squads with their control and aoe spells; and, they have decent survivability with their three barrier spells which makes them versatile tanks.

However, wizards are still a caster class, and as such, not the best tank for most situations. Also, the psychic seems to have the edge over wizards when it comes to 1-on-1 pk so its bit of a trade-off....do you want the edge with group pk or 1-on-1 pk?

I would say that psychics have nearly everything on wizards, namely faster chanelling, the abillity to switch between white and black voodo as well as soulfurce and soul of stunning, silence etc

The best "solo caster" its either Veno or well-geared Mystic/Cleric.

Either way you gonna need a squad for doing instances like daily bounty hunter(lv.40+),because even if you can take the mobs there yourself(Which are a lot stronger than the normal mobs you see around),it would take a considerable amount of time to solo the instance by yourself.

As for Archer/Seeker/Sin the best solo class is, hands down, the Sin. That's mostly because of the huge dps and bloodpaint (Archers can't get bloodpaint and have no healing skills),however the counterpart of this is that you're not gonna be a good soler with a Sin until you're either high level or well geared,it doesn't take being a sin a lot to make you overpowered.
Sin have also the ability to stealth,that means its the faster soler to clear up instances like BH/TT/etc.,but again,you're not gonna solo your BH unless you're pretty well geared.

Psychic if you want better DPS (Damage per second)

Wizard if you like to see high DPH (Damage per hit)

Wizards are more useful in TWs simply because of the weapon dmg modifiers on their Ultimate spells. Spells that have the largest AOE and highest damage endgame.

Psychics have many more control and utility spells at their disposal, from negative status reflections, stuns, to silences, and Black/White Voodoo(attk lvl, def lvl increase).

<<Just my two cents, as I have an eng-game psychic as well.

As to being needed in squads... meh, not really. Besides a few instances in this game, all other classes can do just as well or better. On another note, generally, if you're looking to be "competitive" these days end-game pvp wise, plan on spending some real life $ to acquire that goal.

Follow up question )

Are Sins poor at TW? b:sad

Not necessarily. While their strength is 1v1 pvp they have many uses in TW. Such as scouting in stealth, or taking out key targets quickly, such as a cata cleric and what not. But due to the high quantity of sins on the servers most TW factions wont accept sins because they already have enough. It doesn't take 30 sins to scout the opposing faction or take out a pesky cleric. So it will be easier to find a TW faction as a psychic, due to better aoe skills and overall usefulness. Which is why I recommend making a sin to farm coins, which you will use to fund a psychic.
