My above post was directed towards Deathrydar specifically, so I skipped a couple of classes he's already much-familiar with. I'll add blurbs for 'em here:

Shadow Knight: Can solo "well" for a melee (who typically solo only poorly, if at all) using fear and snare, but with old world weapons and a 40% experience penalty it's still mediocre solo compared to numerous caster types. Same desirability in groups as the other tank types. Late-bloomer that gets critical utility (feign death, invisibility) rather late in life (level 30). Bring patience or pick something else.

Cleric: Notoriously slow solo, notoriously in-demand by most groups. If you want your guild of choice fawning over you, be a Cleric main. Main limitation is they stack poorly in regular groups so they sometimes do sit LFG for a bit if all present groups already have clerics. The moment a group needs a healer, though--you're in. Almost no-one will pick a Shaman or Druid as a healer if a Cleric is available.
