What Class is best as damage dealer? Which abilities are a must (cross-class)? What type of gear to focus on?

[SwordMage]

My current impression is:

• Conjurer and Marauder are good at damage,
• Thaumaturge and Archer should be good too,
• Guardian and Pugilist are ok, but better at defense,
• Lancer has lots of support.

At low levels, I tend to use Trunksplitter from Marauder and Red Lotus (for fire damage) from Guardian; there are also some nice AoE melee attacks from Marauder and Guardian if that floats your boat. Several of the classes have melee based self heals (Second Wind from Pugilist, Bloodbath from Marauder, there may be others).

The best damage dealer really depends on circumstance, as in every game. Are you grouping or solo, do you want to do damage while tanking, etc.

Just aiming to hit hard while having a tank and a healer present and I rather won't do magic class.
