			If you wanna faceroll and destroy everything with a "rotation" of 2 skills, choose medic.

Just came back to wildstar and decided to switch servers from Pvp to PVE
 
Im looking for a high damage output class, I also don't want to be a dime a dozen( i mean if 99% are playing same class I dont want to)
 
A class that has cool abilities is a plus
 
I don't like the engineer( got to level 9) but got bored with it, unless im missing something.
 
I then went to the stalker but at lvl 10 it got confusing for me and I like ranged classes if possible also worried the stalker will not be as amazing as it is now in higher level? unless im wrong
 
Any advice?

"want to be high damage output class"  <-> "don't want to be a dime a dozen"
 
That above conflict kinda makes it hard to recommend you a class you know.
You want to be a top damage dealer, but don't want to play what everyone else is playing :/
See the problem?
 
Just play what you fancy to be honest.
every class is good at what they do.	
----
			
Heh. I want the best class but I don't want the class that everyone is playing.
 
Isn't that kind of almost always the same thing?  :lol:	
----
			
makes me wonder though.. what IS the split of classes in the population? 
 
if you'd believe the raid-group composition I'm in, then it's 40% medics ;P but outside of that outlier situation, it seems to be fairly even really.
 
To the OP:
If ranged is your main requirement, then more important question is: Do you ever have any intention of tanking or healing?
If tanking, then Engineer
If healing, then Esper or Spellslinger
If not, then any of those three! They're all ranged, they all have their own perks and drawbacks, and I've seen all three put out some pretty crazy damage.

I swear the raid group I run with is 90% spellslingers. xD
 
Okay, maybe not that much, but we have a stupid amount of spellslingers. It's amusing. And I think spellslinger is probably the class I run into the most just day-to-day. Completely anecdotal, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the most popular class, given how perfectly it fits into the WildStar theme.

			I like my spellslinger dps. Sure, it might be dealing lowest damage among damage dealers... but it's fun and not that many playing it =)

It's a bit too vague for me to recommend a precise class to give a go.
 
All I can suggest is:
If you have access to the PTR, maybe try a 50 out(i am not sure if everyone is capable of this). It seemed to help a friend of mine decide on their class of choice.
Continue playing the stalker and see how it goes
If you want range, try esper,spellslinger, or engineer
Consider what kind of alternative role you'd be willing to play as a secondary justifier
Roll a 6 sided dice...

			Today's highest damage will be tomorrow's redheaded stepchild. Pick something you enjoy playing, as leveling in this game is too easy as it is.... or play them all! :D

decided to stay with the stalker, having a lot of fun with the insane burst damage for now at least
 
its short range but the stealth is fun too

			You want a ranged class but not engineer. Well, that only leaves two. I guess flip a coin? I'm not one to ask really. For some reason, slinger and esper tend to be my two least liked classes, which is strange since I mostly liked ranged classes in previous games I've played. I do enjoy engineer though, except for how our bots aggro the entire zone any time we move more than three feet. 	
----
			I love my Stalker, up until Wildstar I mostly played ranged or mage type classes but my stalker is by far one of the most fun. The only drawback is that I was level 30 before I realized I chose the wrong path and I wish I had gone scientist over soldier. Soldier does have a few useful qualities but stealth + scientist is one heck of a combination and if I had the option to re-roll my path I would seriously consider it.

Play what you enjoy, but unfortunately sometimes classes don't come into true form until later levels so you might be missing out.
 
I have a Chua engineer as my main guy, and he was rather boring until the late 30s or 40s.  Then I got enough ability points and started to have a blast with how it plays.  On the other side, I enjoyed medic and spellslinger during leveling, then when I hit cap I just didn't enjoy the "rotation" and how they played.
 
I can offer no easy answers!  But it is a game so if you aren't enjoying yourself then change it up :)

IMOEsper....   coolest class, coolest weapons, long range, good deeps, crazy fun spell effects, with both a medium/melee life drain spec (as of level 25) and a solid sniping spec at distance.  Innate is simple and complimentary.   Name it something that befits a "men who stare at goats" face.

As an esper, I dispute that point! xD

Bahaha okay when you put it that way. :P (And I won't judge you and your... tensions!)
 
I'm just not super impressed by my choices of back-ornaments.

			After playing medium armour stalker for a long while, my slinger feels pretty inferior due to the light armour.

You can't go wrong with Warrior honestly. Fun, best utility, powerful buffs, high DPS, etc. 
 
I got bored of Engi as well :D

			You've basically stopped yourself choosing a class.You say Stalkers are amazing...they remain so, they are the highest DPS class by a long shot at the moment.Play your Stalker.	
----
			I will recommend sword dancer, oh wait that is another game, nevermind, just try several and choose the one you like.
