    Wizard and barbarian are the most popular. Sorc is also pretty popular.

    Note that from a general standpoint, you are asking the question backwards: people start out with what class they want to play, and then decide which race would be best for it.

    Bards, Clerics, and Paladins seem to be the most unpopular for Warforged.

    Aelvara - Bagel - Bagelbot - Daarna - Kraldor - Minibagel - Uberlute - Wounder

    Bah wf are good at them all but are better if they are 32pt builds due to the stat penalites they have for those classes.

    WF are best as Wizards. Their WIS and CHA penaltys dont matter here, and their other drawback, the bad divine healing is in fact turned to a bonus, as they can self-heal with their own repair spells.
    While their CON-Bonus makes them less squishy, which is always good for a fragile class.

    They also make good Barbarians, as their racial enhancements are really fitting for barbarians. The drawback is that barbarians need much healing and their healing penalty so annoys many clerics (at least before they get the Heal-Spell).

    I enjoy my WF barbarian, and I would make him again the same way if I had to start over.

    A bit of advice, though: Don't make the mistake of keeping a body feat for too long. Adamantine body will give you some useful AC at the lower levels, but somewhere around levels 8-10 you'll have to either abandon AC or have a build focused toward barbarian AC to keep it at a useful level. Dwarves are actually at a large advantage here with their racial enhancements.

    For a typical barbarian who is worried about DPS, drop that body feat as soon as your notice that AC is not providing a benefit. Do your best to find a docent of defiance as soon as you can. The DR on this item will greatly improve your ability to survive, and this is something that only warforged can wear.

    I've spent time with WF Cleric, Battle Cleric, Paly, Fighter Paly, and Fighter. The Fighter played best, for me. The tactics options keeps him challenging to play. (oddball claim to fame: he saved our squishy cleric in STK - with a starter healer kit! ) The Paly and combo builds were a bit too strained on stats to feel satisfying.

    I find I like my WF escapism to include a hefty measure of Hack & Bash. I've tried a Shadow Mage and found it quite workable. MrCow's Solo WF Sorc should also give outstanding results.
    So, I hear that one day we may get Familiars...

    Dont throw pallys out immediately either. You dont need a max cha for it to be useful, currently sitting at only 24 and pretty much only fail saves on 1s. They have a very good synergy with the pally class both enhancement and immunity-wise.

    Agree that WF sorc is a great combo also, though only currently level10 on mine so still have a bit to see.

    As a note most of my Rings of Rage are on Argo... but I may have spares on other servers


    toss me a character name and server I can mail things to and I'll see what I can do. Oddly I have 3-5 spare Rings of Rage on Argo

    I like my paly wf, the lord of blades is very nice buff (you can still get arcane and your lay on hands healing).

    Any really.

    Wiz are nice for self healing. Sor are ok, but get a Cha penalty.

    Brbs are popular. brb PA and WF PA do stack.

    I think Ftr are good....but it's based and the fact that repair is a class skill for Ftrs......and no one really cares about that.

    I'm not a fan of WF Pal, Clr, Sor, Brd......and maybe even Rgrs, because of the penalty to Wiz and Cha.......but I've seen all the above turn out real well.....and I wave a WF Rgr that I like.

    I like my WF Rog as well.....but I like my Drow Rogue a lot better.

    Personally, I think you get the most from a WF Wiz......but like I said....all good.
