    Finding which weapon does max damage solo/AoE:
    Not a simple question to answer. Yes, weapons have different base damage and different crit multipliers/crit range. But there are other things that effect weapon damage, such as Racial Enhancements, Class Enhancements, Epic Destinies, Feats.... For example, Elves can choose to spend action points that give them extra damage with Rapiers, Longswords, and Longbows.

    If you just want to test and try to keep comparisons simple (and free to play), these are a few good options.
    Human Barbarian, Greataxe or Maul
    Dwarven Barbarian, take CON to damage in Dwarf tree, Greataxe
    Human Paladin, Greatsword, Greataxe, or Maul

    For AoE damage, you can take the feats Cleave and Great Cleave (13 STR minimum), although Paladins get cleaves in their enhancement tree. Other feats: Power Attack, Two Handed Fighting (and Improved/Greater), Improved Critical: Slash or Bludgeon (Slash for Gaxe, Bludgeon for Maul)

    Out of all the melee classes, Paladin is generally the most survivable. Personally, I play Bards, and I find them to be very self-reliable. A friend plays a CON to damage Dwarven Bard using a Handaxe and is happy with his build. Google "Dwarven Parody DDO" for the build.

    Magic Users- Right now, Cleric is very weak offensively. Warlock, Druid and Favoured Soul are Premium Classes. And most people would recommend Warforged for a Sorcerer/Wizard due to the self healing (but WF is premium). Leaves you with a Pale Master Human Wizard.... can be done, but needs some gear, and can be squishy if you don't know what you're doing.

    So.... there's not really a right answer to your question. It's not as simple as "pick this weapon and this class". But start with Barbarians and Paladins, see what you think.
