What are some good class combos now adays?

I haven't played RoM in about a year and was going to give it a try with a friend. I was wondering what some of the good class combos were now as I assume things have changed since I left. Pretty much just want a little list of which combos are good and what they are good at (e.g. tanking, pvp). Also, is the third class really that important? Will it significantly improve or weaken my character?

And it would be nice if you could refrain from giving the "well they're all good, it just depends on what you like" response. Unless there has been serious changes (which would actually be great), I know this just isn't true.

Thanks!

ok, i know this is probably what you didn't want, but since this IS a gear mod game, you CAN make any class combo work...but other than that, it really depends on what you are looking to do with your char(e.g. tanking, pvp) is what will determine your class

so far:
mages - good in pvp, ok dps
knight - tank all the way, hard to play in pvp
druid - great healers, good in pvp
priest - good healers, great in pvp
warden - tank with a little more dps than knight, don't know about pvp
scout - ok dps, great in pvp
rogue - good burst dps, very much played as in pvp due to the burst damage and hide
warrior - great dps, good in pvp

those are just my thoughts, but some1 may be able to give you a better summery

*preferred* dps combos- s/wd, w/r, m/w, r/s, s/r, w/wd

tank- k/s, k/p, wd/w, w/k, k/w

heals- p/s, p/k, d/s, d/w

of course there are others, but these are the most prominent ones.

Hmm, well thank you for the responses guys. Cike what do you mean by a gear mod game? Just that it's very gear dependent? I'm looking at more of an end-game DPS combo, not so much for PvP.

yes, it is very gear dependent...if you outgear your opponent, even by a little, 9/10 times you will win in pvp
for endgame dps, then you can decide on whether you want to be magic based or physical ranged or physical melee.

Classes that people think are the "best endgame DPS" right now on Osha:

R/S (Stupidly high crit damage increase buff(Probably next on the nerf list)), M/S, W/Wd, W/R, S/Wd, M/K, M/W (All of these classes have higher "burn phases", but fall flat in longer fights)

Classes that can perform at the same level, but people don't realize it:

Wd/M (Spammable Mana based skill that does more damage than your other skills can do), Wd/R (Increases in damage and crit rate on your 2 best skills), Wd/S (Another passive increase in damage and a pet that does a fair amount of damage)

This game is heavily dependent on your armor, accessories and weapon(s).
