Hmm tim he's saying theres no "best" it all depends on the player behind the keyboard and how well geared the player is.

Talking about the best is speculation its like comparing who's stronger the hulk or superman.

Ah well some kids love to do that too I guess.

And I am saying that the player only depends when you look at two different players playing the same class. But when you compare two different classes played by the same player, the class does mean a lot. And comparing two different classes with two different players does not tell anything to someone who is actually picking up a class to play. For example our guilds new fury is already as good healer as he was when he played inquisitor. I am as good tank as a healer I used to be. I have no doubts that you couldn't be as good mage as you are a fury now. So comparing two people playing different toons gives no information about anything. On the other hand, objectively comparing classes without argument 'it depends on who is playing' does. Of course a person who has played a paladin to lvl 60 is better for XP group than someone who just bought his lvl 60 brawler. But had he bought lvl 60 paladin, the latter would be even worse.
