Ranger probably. Fun, versatile, and has cool armor.

As for your Ursan comment, well, it's not fun, definitely not versatile, and has no cool armor.

Since you've already played an Assassin, go with my other favorite class:

Ranger.

(For the above poster who thinks [Barrage] is all there is to rangers, please meet my friends [Broad Head Arrow], [Distracting Shot], [Apply Poison], [Spike Trap] + [Brambles], and [Feral Lunge].

)

If we're gonna define in simple terms what the professions do like that, then warrior, sin and dervish is only A) Damage. Yes there are other builds but they're inferior. Monks would be only a) Healing or b) Protting. Sorry mate but the job of a ranger isn't doing damage, and at any case they're more versatile than any melee or some casters. Of course if you like to be killing stuff in the frontlines, you'll find rangers very boring.

Paras seem to only have one build for PvE (if we're gonna define them in the most simple terms) and Ritualists are meh, like a little of everything but not good enough.

For the guy/gal/it that said [barrage] is what rangers do...

Lol.

Oh, you poor poor man.

[b][build prof=A/R crit=13 mark=12][Critical Agility][Critical Eye][Way of the Master][Favorable Winds][Distracting Shot][Barrage][/build]

It actually makes Zenmai good for something other than HFFF.

I would personally say Ritualist, but I find spirits quite amusing. The general person would probably go Ranger.

Playing with that skill no wonder I would try a variety of elites [burning arrow] or [broad head arrow].I would use something that goes well with a preparation.

I would say Ranger over Paragon.

Read up on the classes, it really comes down to how you like to play(i.e. melee,damage spiking, support, etc.). As mentioned, rangers are awesome for the versatility if you are starting a first character to be your main.

I personally played one of each to lvl 20, which doesn't take long,and based my desicion for a "main" off of how effectively I could play each. When I was done I chose assassin for high survivability, insanely fast attack rate,and large amounts of damage.

Now whenever I do get tired of running my sin (which is very rarely), I can always switch to one of my other already set up char's and play that for a while.
