Is there a "best" class to play? Or a "worst" class?

< insert subjective opinion> is the best, hands down.


The only difference between one vs another is your starting area. One class is better than another for certain builds. You wouldn't roll Murauder for a CI caster would ya??)
Some in the end are identical ( Templar ele cleave vs Murauder ele cleave comes to mind)

As for what's better bow, melee, or caster...that's very subjective. People say melee is broken or at a disadvantage, Yet Ele cleave is my favorite build hands down. Most whining about melee is PEBKAC. I'd rather own face and stand fast popping granite with endurance charges then get 2 shotted as a glass cannon. But that's just me.
The next guy will say triple spark totem ftw! The next guy will say Righteous fire, the next will say Lightning arrow pew pew!!

It's all subjective. There's alot of diversity, but only probably 2 good farmer builds, and that's triple totem, and summoner. They can stack upwards of 400+ MF and some quantity while killing everything. No other build can do this with out being severely gimped.

But I can't stand those 2 builds. And it starts to be more of a job ( maximizing MF is boring), I prefer to maximize dps and survivability.

Actually MF is not all that matters. What matters is average income per minute. This means that clearing speed is very important.

I don't remember saying it's all that matters, and I would agree of course clear speed is more efficient.
Basically, no. All the classes are biased towards certain playstyles, but theoretically, you can get any node as any character, if it's important enough to you. The key is figuring out what you want to focus on, and then choosing whatever class can access the most nodes of that type without going through things you don't want.
If I have two fish, and you have three fish, how many fish do we have?
None. These are MY fish.
With how elemental damage scales templar/mara without question. (this is pretty much saying the left side of the tree is the strongest side.)

This.
Every single node taken that doesn't directly benefit your build, is sub optimal.
That's why Duelist ele cleave isn't as good as Templar and Marauder. Why people take phys dmg nodes and Master of the arena, and call it ele cleave is beyond me. That's not focus. That's not optimal.
