There's lots of opinions but you should play what suits your play style. All classes have good lvling builds you can use to lvl then change to end game spec later. Whether you lvl champ warrior and tank end game, or cleric shaman lvl and heal end game, all classes are flexible with role changes. You'll want specific strong solo builds for your class like druid, shaman, champ, ranger, etc. Always make sure to try the other roles and have a good party role available for dungeons. Consider that every class bu mage can tank, wars and rogues can't solo heal. Other then that they can do it all. Good luck.

rogues also can do it all end game tank heal and dps if you're a person who gets bored ezly

Clerics can queue Support/Heals/Tank/Dps

Will have the fastest leveling times.

On a side note, you may become hated if you suck at Heals and tanking but still queue for both

pretty ssure they cant Q as support ^^

and to the guy above, rogues cant do it all lol, barding isnt healing.... its buffing.... and tanking, well early level 50 content yes, a rogue can do it, but later 50 content no.

I've had clerics come in my LFG groups (yeah, I know, looking for group groups...) as support, both on my Mage in T2s and my little rogue leveling... first time I saw one was about lvl 30 and I just got out of a reg. CC w/ a lvl 48 cleric support


Who knows

ok guess i'll put this another way, clerics CANT que as support

Rogues can end game tank. They can MT Raids as well. Certain bosses are better tanked with a war or cleric but Rogues can MT pretty much any dungeon or Raid content. Our rogue tanked GS, Alsbeth, etc. The only thing rogues can't do is solo heal. Bard is support heals. Mages can't tank, they can main heal as CH. Wars can't heal. Clerics can do everything. They may not be able to que as support but they can play support, dps/off heal very well. If I was rolling a new char I'd roll cleric due to their flexibility. They level fast, get fast party invites, can play any role from MT to Heal to DPS both melee and caster.

and you are wrong also, Mages can and DO tank in HK which is end game content. The King Molinar fight requires a mage tank, also they have a tank pet for soloing. Also in HK currently rogues are the bottom of the food chain, I dont know any guilds that use a rogue tank on anything except 1 boss in HK currently.
