Help With choosing a class

[jcarbone]

Hey All,

Starting back up again after quite a long hiatus. Ive read through a ton of threads here regarding what people think of classes. In the end, I have a few questions that I havnt seen answered in which I would like to hear some feedback about.

1) Bard - this seems like the perfect fit for me, I love utility and back in the day I used to love cycling through 5 mobs in KC and keeping them mezzed. I'm concerned about the lack of dps though, are bards any help in the dps department? IIRC they never get double attack correct? If bards had better dps this would be an easy choice for me. Thoughts?

2) Out of all the other classes, I havnt seen much talk about where rogues rank in comparison to all other pure melee dps.

I don't have much interest in playing a caster to be honest. I almost addressed my own concerns while typing this I suppose.

Any thoughts?
