Class to focus on gearing first

[fanti]

Out of each pairing of classes, which one ought I to focus on gearing first to clear content and farm? I'm mostly a solo pve player, so what I'll mostly be doing is likely abyss dungeons, nightmare dungeon, solo nests once in a while, not any of the raids. So I guess what I'd need most of all are decent aoe skills, with enough single mob focused skills for when I go against bosses. Thanks!

At lvl 93, I have my:
Gladiator vs Barbarian
Warden vs Tempest
Pyro vs Warmage

all of the classes you've listed have very solid damage output in the current state of the game. So I would say your best bet is to pick the class that you think you'll enjoy the most. Also aoe isn't really an issue on anyone so don't worry about that.

Gladiator will get you no where in PVE.
Barbarian will since they have stronger DPS in terms of their awaken, but Destroyer are better since they're HP based
Warden needs a buff, they're in a bad state at the moment
Tempest same problem, but can hit hard if very agile with your dodging
Pyro is for pure DPS and one of the best DPS classes
Warmage you need a ton of Dark Atk to be good
