Well, the type of PVP (1 on 1, small group, mass scale) wasn't defined, and that changes what classes are good quite a bit. Enchanter is a good example, 1 on 1 they stink but even in a small group with burst DPS classes they can be devastating. Cleric is unkillable 1 on 1 pretty much but does that make them good? They can't really kill anyone either. But in a big fight they are huge.
I think overall necro is the class that is the weakest. The bolt changes helped mages a lot this last patch. Rangers with windstriker are awesome, without are probably near the bottom but not horrible in the right scenarios.
Necros have a burst dps issue, and every form of damage they have is curable/dispellable aside from their horrible mana ratio lifetaps which don't even heal you when they hit a rune.
Necros were one of if not THE best PVP class on live up through this era because of how much easier it was to resist spells. Their one advantage is almost all of their spells are either disease/poison or unresistable. Plus lifetaps healed when it hit a rune, and deflux spam against a wizard would keep you alive longer than them in most cases because they had to use lures over machine gunning draughts.
