Thinking about red

[Skittlez]

The past 5 or 6 months I have been taking a break from EQ, only logging in to make sure my install is set up properly on my newest rig.

Thinking it's about time I came back but not sure if I want to hop back in blue or start on red and see how that is. Would anyone be able to give me a run down on the stand out pvp classes? Last time I was on I hopped on my bard to polish my swarming.

I think I'd be hopping into my bard if I come back to blue right now but I would also like to try out bard on red, if I make it past the login that is. I definitely prefer melee to casters, but a mix of melee and spells is always always appealing to me. If I played a caster I am kind of leaning towards a Cleric if they have any real benefits on red. If not than Shammy or Druid sounds kind of fun.

Anyway, before I start rambling, any info on classes and how they fare on red, assuming the class is played by a decent player, would be greatly appreciated.

Just beat AC 4 on 100% synchronization and now I am bored of everything besides BF4.
