Coming back after a break

I decided to come back to RoM to goof around after a long break. I went back to WoW for a while (I missed PvP that didn't lag and lasted longer than one hour a day) and played GW2 for a while. I was just wondering a few things.

1) Is there a server now that kinda warrants being on? I do have other toons, but I'm willing to leave and go to a new server if needs be.

2) What combos are legit, including the new classes? I left with a few toons, but most of my time was probably put into my 67/67/67 W/K/P (I was mostly P/K, but added warrior when they upped W/K to be legitimate tanks with plate and pdmg mitigation).

3) Are scouts and rogues still imbalanced in PvP/siege? I left at a time when I remembered R/S and S/R running around one-shotting everything and low blow hitting for about three trillion damage.

Rogues are still present, but manageable with defenses. Current Seige terrors are P/S and Warden/anything. People are still getting used to the new Dwarf classes, have not seen any that truly dominate seige.

1. I can't speak of other servers, but I'm happy with population on Artemis.

2. Plenty of legit combos, and plenty that are gimped. P/K is one of the better dedicated healers, but no offense to speak of. W/K well geared is a terror in siege, but not a top instance tank (might pull it off sometimes, but you won't be the best). K/P is a top instance tank, but poor offense capabilities. P/W & W/P I basically never see - probably gimped.

3. I haven't seen a truly fearsome scout in siege in a long time. Rogues and P/S (Iceblader) are the scariest usually. There are others that can dominate occasionally when well played (W/K, M/K come to mind), but not as common.

@Auros: I play a Ch/R in siege (relatively well geared, ~2k siege points guild). It's like a knight (tank), but with more offense. Even at their best I'd expect a champ less to be formidable in PvP than Rogue or W/K (and not sure on Wardens). Haven't met a good warlock in siege yet.

I'm suprised no one mentioned m/wd in siege, those things are really scary to run across, especially if they happen to have healers behind them.

And yes, rogues are still hitting for about 3 trillion damage, plus it doesnt hurt that their endgame weapon dropped from the 1st boss (easily farmable) in the new instance.

Though most people will currently be complaining about my class, p/s, in siege.
