Best Class 2022

Hi all,
i just started the game again after 5 years for the first time again.

Whats the best class at moment. i always played Mage but have read somewhere its a bad class now.
And are there still active Guilds around? preferable German or English Guilds.

I was yesterday in Tulan and it was like Ghost town. Pretty empty.

Thank for your opinions in advance! :-)

Justac tries to balance the classes so everyone would be able to play his favorite one. Sure there are classes which get focused first (mage/sorcu) and that's why these classes seem to be "worse" . The final update which should come end of the month should rebalance the tankiness of classes like mage/sorc and I think many sorc/mage players will play these more often again.

There is actually one pure German guild (VM) and several international guilds. There are 2 sides and some farmers which seem to be "side less" but you never know who is hiding there.
Basically you need to find out which ppl or play style is better for you.

Answer for your question is: noone knows.
Until all will have 150lv, endgame gear and new uniques saying "this class is best" is quite stupid.
