My opinion is 100% biased but I don't care. Wardens are also super fun.

Hated magicka warden but love stamina warden for some reason. Magicka was easier to play. DW stam warden for what it’s worth is the most exciting class I’ve played because it’s nonstop action. It’s quite punishing though if you mess up or if you can’t sustain.

Magplar is the other class I play and I find it to be total EZ mode.

Nightblade should be way higher in that list. Easily #2 after DK. I’ve also found that pet Sorc is better than Warden, but I agree that no-pet Sorc is dead last in the rankings.

Maybe not second to magDK, but surely over warden with dumbguardian. Still it's quite clunky to play

All around I reckon MagBlade is the best if a bit tricky to master. Very good sustain, great constant and mobile flow of self-heals with Swallow Soul and Siphoning Attacks, as well as range. I reckon it's the safest bet, if you plan to level a new class.

MagDK currently has the highest DPS but is crutching on a bugged Asylum staff that will no longer be a thing come next week. Drop Asylum and try Siroria paired with MS or ElfBane and tell me if you really out-parse a magblade or a magplar. And with MagDK being a melee class it'll have to compete for melee spots with dps beasts like Stamplars, Stamsorcs and Stamcros. Something it might well struggle to do come next week. Quite risky to level one now.

Magplar has very good damage and group synergies but poor sustain. If you use Sweeps you have great heals with decent AoE damage but you become a melee class. It'd probably be my second choice, might even be first choice for some.

PetSorc and MagCro are pretty decent. MagWarden dps is a bit subpar. Not sure why anyone would play non-pet Sorc, just go MagBlade or MagPlar. Like I said, I'd wait on MagDK till the impact of Greymoor on the meta becomes clearer.

Lol.. yes, it's best to have 12 toons so if anything shifts in the meta, you can too.

Speaking from someone with many alts, I just find it funny how this is a word of advice, most people don't have the time or patience to level that many toons, grind that many skill points or skill lines, swap sets and cp, etc for you to nonchalantly say something like "it's best to have..".

Nothing against you or anything, just funny to see how wildly different an end game communities view point is from most of the player base.

Been loving the MagDK, especially with Elf Bane and the Asylum staff

Or just keep playing your favorite class I was a magden main back when it was a meme class and will continue to play it unless they nerf everything about it that I love. I think it'd be hard for them to completely screw up the class (ZOS: "hold my beer") to that point, though.

If you enjoy playing the meta class no matter what then your advice is fantastic, but I also think that all classes are perfectly capable of completing 99% of the content.

Yep agreed, any class can complete any content in the game (I’d say 100%). Groups of players may enforce more restrictions (some justified, others arbitrary). You’ll definitely have an easier time getting into a trial group as a Necromancer (provides a crucial group buff, 3 are necessary) than a Warden (is fun to play, usually brings nothing to a group). There are always a few flex spots in a group comp after the necessary roles are filled, they’re just usually in higher demand or given to the highest DPS class.
