Trust me, theyre few. XD
Sorcerer
I get the fact that we are more powerful than wizards. But, how come we cant cast a lot of spells?
Thats a disadvantage, I know that every race/path/class has(or have) a disadvantage, but this one is quite big. Whats the best ability(you know, strength, int etc.) for sorcs?
And, whats the best race for sorcs?
Wizard
Okay. When I inscribe scrolls, I buy the materials right? If I inscribe the scroll, the materials go or it can be used again?
Whats the best ability?
And, whats the best race?
Paladin
At what level can I heal people?
What other spells can I cast?
Thats about it. :)
Oh, and if any Turbine staff is reading this, Id like to make a suggestion.
You see, nearly every week theres an update. Id like to suggest to keep those updates until the end of the month and give up one day(or two) for the updates. Or once every two weeks. Because, having an update nearly every week is kinda bugging. Its okay if you dont like it, Im just suggesting it.
Thanks a bunch! :)

Whats the best ability(you know, strength, int etc.) for sorcs? cha, con, rest. in that order
And, whats the best race for sorcs?human, wf or drow, it depends
Wizard
Okay. When I inscribe scrolls, I buy the materials right? If I inscribe the scroll, the materials go or it can be used again?they are one time only
Whats the best ability? int, con, rest, in that order
And, whats the best race?wf or drow, it depends, maybe even human
Paladin
At what level can I heal people? lvl4 for cure spells, lvl1(or 2) for lay on hands
What other spells can I cast?read the compendium
Thats about it. :)

What does 'lay on hands' do?
And, where can I find the compendium? Sorry, I still have a lot of exploring to do.
Sorry for the trouble. Thanks!

First of all: I lol'ed :D
Second: Sorcs can cast spells more frequently thanks to faster casting and more spell points. Wizards can cast more types of spells. Pick the class based on which one appeals the most to you. I like wizards myself, although I started with Sorcs.

No, don't ever make me wait for updates....I think I can handle the couple of minutes it takes.
Paladins can use a Cure Light Wounds wand at level 1 and a Cure Moderate Wounds wand at level 3. Wands are very useful for healing after combat. Kinda awkward to use during combat. (You have to swap out your weapon in order to use them.)
You get to cast spells at level 4, but generally have so few spell points that you need an item which boosts SP in order to cast just 1 spell per rest. Wands are still very useful.
You gain the ability to Lay on Hands at level 2. LoH is a useful emergency mid-combat cure.

Paladins are actually a very powerful and rewarding class to play. Just because you can't heal others as well or often as a cleric doesn't mean the class isn't worthwhile to try out. Half the fun of being a paladin is the ability to smite the **** out of just about anything and one or two-shot tough foes. Not to mention the instant and non-interuptable LoH heals, awesome saves, and all the other fun paladin-specific clickie abilities to play with.
My suggestion is to roll up one of each type of character on all of the servers and experiment. You've got 7 servers and 2 free-to-play slots per server. That gives you a lot of options to figure out which classes and races strike your fancy. You can also build up a lot of favor by leveling each of those characters a bit.

If you want to heal, play a cleric. 'Nuff said.
