I know what people are gonna say "there is no "best" pvp class" but in any mmo theres always those classes that do better than others. Take WOW for example rogues ,warlocks,and warriors are the 3 that do the best now (ofcourse blizzard always nerfs/buffs classes every patch),but i'm trying out the free trial to see how it is and i'm starting to get into but i dont want to make a shity class like how druids are in WOW . So what are the classes that do the best?

In PvP here there are definitly strong and weak pvp classes.
The thing is though what are you wanting the best class for? Soloing, grouping, raiding?
It all depends what you want to do. Also the pvp server are about to get another big change to classes so its hard to say what " will " be the best classes soon.
"Granted thinking for yourself could be considered a timesink of shorter or longer duration depending on how smart..or how dumb you are."
I play a 70 swashbuckler and that's what I'm going to recommend. You'll end up with some very high burst DPS, evac, track and stealth. All of which means you can mostly fight on your own terms and everyone else is a potential victim.
I also have a 70 wizard which I refuse to play until the resist rate is fixed. I've nuked people with ice nova and fusion to only get resisted 5 times in a row. Playing a caster in pvp is totally pathetic. Even more so when you consider how easy it is for a rogue to lock a caster down and plow through their health.
I have seen rangers drop casters from full health to dead in under 5 seconds. I haven't ever played one though so I don't know much about it, seems like they can do well if they get the drop on you.
Oh and don't roll on vox unless you want to level lock with the T1/T2 crowd. I can list on 2 hands all the 70s that pvp on the server. It's a ghost town.
The next patch is going to make a lot of changes so some of this information might become incorrect/irrelevant. Fury's cheetah is going to get fixed so they can't run away from a fight once engaged, this was one of their more annoying abilities. You pretty much just couldn't kill them if they decided to run away from you.
Caster resist rates are being reduced, wizards are getting a 2:1 mana shield now so that's all good for pvp, their wiz line is getting nerfed though.
I normally play with a Templar which seems to be a good healer, probably not the best for pvp though.
If you are looking to kill people solo I would go with a brig or swash or ranger I guess. Of course this is only relevant within the context of the Vox server.
On nagafen I was told there are 4x raids pvping each other. In that environment the best class for killing would be someone with a lot of AE I suppose. I have no idea what it's like there, if you are in a raid combat pvp situation everything changes.
