Why don't you try doing your own research using the thousands of threads in the class section instead of asking someone to tell you everything.

Warriors - Melee class, they use rage, high physical DPS as long as your rage generation is high.
Mages - squishy magic class, use MP, high magic DPS.
Priests - a well built priest isn't squishy, uses MP, best healer in the game currently.
Knight - INCREDIBLY difficult to kill melee class, uses MP, excellent tanks.
Scout - ranged physical DPS class, uses focus, the anti-rogue class.
Rogue - high critical hit rate melee DPS, uses energy, great limited burst DPS, once they run out of energy they're boned.
Warden - elven knight class, uses MP and pet assistance, VERY powerful striking power, used to take on multiple enemies at once.
Druid - elven priest class, uses MP, not as good of a healer as priest but all heals have a secondary effect such as HOTs or restorative properties.
Champion - Dwarf general purpose class, uses rage, able to flip between tank and DPS with the push of a button.
Warlock - Weird-a$$ class, uses focus, mainly support class, not very interesting.

I mainly played a wd/s, and secondary of d/wd, for well over a year. Previously I played a s/p and p/s for about a year. While I do know a lot about the wd/s, I know that there are still some mechanics I do not know about the wd/s. The same goes for d/wd, s/p, p/s.

So asking to get all that information in one post is not really going to happen. Try reading the guides that are stickied in multiclass threads. This should give an idea to answer your question, without too much information overload.

While I agree usually that RTFF is the appropriate response, the OP's English is broken enough to make it sound that he is not a native speaker. The phrasing is awkward and makes it look like it was translated word by word from another language.

If so, processing pages upon pages of guides might not be within his immediate capability.

What Zombolini posted was an opinion. One which I disagree with on several points. Maybe I'm right, maybe Zombolini is right, maybe we're both wrong. I don't know so this is a learning opportunity and why I'm bothering to respond. ;)

Warriors - Physical DPS class, with the exception of Warr/Mage which is a magic DPS class (still melee mostly though). Warr/Mage is the "flavor of the month" - probably the highest DPS class there is thanks to recent changes. Could be nerfed back soon, who knows. Warr/Knight is a semi-tank type, but most Warr/* combos are just pure physical DPS.
Mages - What Zombolini said, but add that they specialize in short burst damage. Also some of the best area effects.
Priests - Zombolini is mostly right, but I'd put them as equal healers to druids and not better. Priest/Scout is kind of an exception as that is usually built as PvP focused damage dealer.
Knight - Human only. Yes, hard to kill and very competent instance tank, but Warden tank or Champion tank are almost as hard to kill and can deal MUCH higher damage. Personally, I wouldn't want to be a Knight right now.
Scout - What Zombolini said. These were top DPS a couple chapters back and have since fallen out of favor. Good for anti-rogue in PvP.
Rogue - I hadn't heard about major DPS reduction when energy runs out. Sure it goes down, but by a lot? (If you're actually a good rogue player.) Comparing Rogue to Mage, I commonly see them roughly equal on short burst fights. But as soon as the fight goes 3-5 mins or more, then the rogue and other physical damage dealers do way more damage.
Warden - Warden/Warrior is the tank combo. Others more damage oriented. There have been substantial recent changes to Warden DPS and I'm not entirely certain how they do now. Probably competent, but not very top.
Druid - Elven healer. Again I'll disagree with Zombolini and say it equals priest. Different, but competent in every situation I can think of.
Champion - Champ/Rogue I play, so maybe biased. It can switch between DPS and tank roles. I've mostly seen folks focusing on the tank part. As a tank I regularly out damage mages on long boss fights. Also often get the top kill score in PvP thanks to having both the attack power of a DPS and the defense of a tank. Champ/Priest is another combination that I respect - as a lower DPS instance tank. But other Champion/* combinations don't seem as good.
Warlock - Champ and Warlock were released relatively recently. Agree with Zombolini that I haven't yet seen anyone make a "good" warlock. Play 'em as alts, have fun, but don't expect them to do particularly well at the high end.

^ Agree. Anyone who thinks druid is "not as good" of a healer compared to priest obviously hasn't seen one in action. I'd add examples here but, well, already went through this with the guy in another thread. Apparently the point was missed.

As for wardens - Wd/W and Wd/D are the tank combos that I know of, but I'm not really too familiar with the class, so I can't give specifics on pros/cons of those. For DPS, not really sure where the other combos stand at the moment since they've been screwed around with so much. Endgame wardens would be able to give you a better idea.

I have a 75/75 wl/m not fully geared, but I can see the potential they can have. A fully decked out wl/m could be the highest or next highest sustained DPS if they are played right. They do support very well, but they do have alot of untapped potential to be very high on the DPS meter. Problem is most people solo with them and that cuts your DPS in 1/2 since you aren't using the willpower skills.

The m/wl is also probably one of the only combos (if not the only one, I could be wrong) who can get their flame casting to under a second without using anything except their own skills.

People seem to get REALLY agitated when I say that the Druid's not as good a healer as the priest.

I've seen and played both classes in action and I've come to the conclusion that the priest is a better flat-out healer. Urgent heal pretty much speaks for itself. Druids don't have a heal that can compare to Urgent Heal. Not to mention they don't have the Soulbond ability and the druids' buffs (awakening of the wild aside) are not exactly the most useful. Anyone who trains their weapon skills will often have enough accuracy where Savage Blessing just seems like a superfluous buff.

Druids have plenty of nice skills for group support and healing, but they just don't stack up to the raw heals of a priest.

In my opinion, the Druid isn't at all a bad healer. I view it like this:

A Druid is a car you drive to work everyday in, it gets you there and home in one piece, no complaints. A priest is your neighbor's car. Same car but he bought the LX package. He gets all the cool options like air conditioning (Grace of Life), a premium sound system (Amplified attack) and airbags (Soul Bond). You don't necessarily mind not having all those extra features, but they'd come in handy when you're stuck in a traffic jam with your buddies.

Lol. Sure, druids have no UH, but they have many other heals that, when combined, can effectively hold a group up just as well as a priest can. Get a D/S to slap all their HoTs/burst heals on someone and I can guarantee you that it will add up to much more than a similarly geared priest's UH can.

Honestly though, he seems determined to remain ignorant about the class. Want to put druids down? Go for it. But don't tell newbies that they're not good healers, because good druids can outheal a lot of priests any day.

Effervescent,

When do I EVER say Druids are not good healers?? They're GREAT healers, BUT I say they're not AS good. There's a big difference between the point I'm making and the misinformed bad-guy you're trying hard to make me out as.

I'm not sure what you mean by saying I'm being ignorant, does anyone else see any ignorance in my posts? I don't.

As a druid, all I have to say is:

1) buffing has nothing to do with healing.
2) Soulbond is for party wipes. A good healer prevents party wipes. A good healer doesnt need sb.
3) Ill outheal any priest anyday. Not like it really matters. For heals, its not the amount of healing you should be looking at, but WHEN its done. A casual MEF spammer might look pretty on scrut. But compare a proper druid to the spammer. Youll know who the party prefers.
4) Priest is ez mode. Yes I played one at end game. And its boring.

Id say, the d/s class > any priest combo. Yes, that means better healer.
