short and incomplete, what came to my mind spontanous:


----------
Paladin
----------
+
Burstdamage
good AOE
Delayed damage recieving
-
melee / close range

----------
Warrior
----------
+
"3 button class"
best AOE in game
combination of good dmg with extreme survivability + debuffs
-
melee / close range


----------
Healer
----------
+
awesome allrounder / heal, support, melee, ranged
-
aoe limited to 4 targets


----------
Warden
----------
+
overall surely "the best" class
only class with real HOT
pet for chasing + slowdown
ranged + melee dps
a lot of buffs
-
no burstdmg



----------
Engineer
----------
+
buffer
durable
-
low damage



----------
Necromancer
----------
+
can do a little bit of everything
dot-mechanic provides advantages in several cases along with debuffs
-
immobile (will be fixed in 8.1)
dies fast





----------
Sorcerer
----------
+
"3 button class"
becomes immune to ANY slowdowns
good CC

-
vulnearable to CC
slow start of fight; a few seconds without action will cause difficulties


----------
Psionicist
----------
+
best burstdmg in game
"killer"

-
difficult to play / master
no selfheal at all as the only class in this game


----------
Scout
----------
+
"killer"
good burstdmg
highest range in game
-
vulnearable to everything, very fragile compared to other classes
enchanting arrows is tedious




----------
Bard
----------
+
buffer
-
engineer is superior

You can forget this in new patch ... They are cutting aoe range for all classes, and dmg for some classes. For example paladin gets aoe nerf (range and dmg) but single target dmg boost.

Allods online Player, thank you very much for your Input. That is a very good overview an helps a lot! But how about Bard? Is it completly "useless" except for CC (AoE or mostly single target?)?

@Eddy: Thank you for this information. Maybe we can have a private talk in TeamSpeak? As I understand, you already play the next patch on RU servers.

Ye just send me ip in PM.
Bard is great trust me great dps, great support. In 8.1 is very easy to play support, u can keep up 1 buff almost all the time. Even with support build bard can do nice dps. Only bad thing is that sonata got nerf, its 1m CD , crit damage stats wont reduce CD. And Requim range is now 8 yards, was 15.

bard is of course not "completly useless"; my observations & testings showed it does good dps so we could say dps is the part where bard is better than the engineer then (bard also bursts better)
contrary is that the bard will die faster than the engineer;
basically as a warrior vs a bard it feels like recieve 1 cc, recieve another cc, bard uses shield, dunno, hit till dead , end .... while the engineer will pop up all these mechanical friends which boost the warriors determination but the engineer will still survive long while also putting a cc every now and the and then heal up, shield at low hp and so on so the fight will take longer
many ppl dont focus engineer because it wont die fast and often absorb / outheal all the dmg
you wont have this problem vs a bard usually

------------------------------------
even though its obvious,
what i wrote in general applies to PVP, in endgame PVE every class can fulfill the DPS-role sufficiently

maybe its a good idea to update this thread once 8.1 is there; the changes are public on russian forum already so its foreseeable what will change into what direction, but personally i prefer to test things live before i issue a final verdict
