by saying best for pvp you mean 1v1? 3v3? 5v5? 10v10? ganking? caravans? arenas? sieges?
different encounter will have different metas, and with around 14k variations of skills in the game ther will be infinite amount of combinations that will work better or worse in different scenarios
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Game_balance
Balancing in Ashes of Creation is group focused not based on 1v1 combat.[1][2]
PvE it depends a whole lot because tanks and healers are just as important but play a totally different role, ofc, so I wouldnt really be able to say who's "best". Tanks are going to be the best tanks, clerics the best healers, as for dps, I feel it will depend a lot of the types of encounters and how big the raids are.
The more immobile you can be during a fight, spell casters will be able to dps more. As for single target, rogues are usually very good, rangers as well. Warriors usually do well with aoe, same with fire mages.
Btw, the table you provided is the archetype list
During Alpha 2 and even Beta we may see balance changes.
In PvP they've said it's going to be rock-paper-scissors for 1-1. I'm not sure how finely they are going to differentiate mage-dps from melee-dps from ranged-physical-dps. However, I'm going to predict that Ranger is the most likely to be a good open world PvP class, and Summoner most likely to be a weaker one (pets get ignored).
Which class can PvE the best while in a "PvP spec" and vice-versa is going to be very important in PvX.
hmm maybe you right.
Solo PvE: Summoner/Cleric
Small Group (=<8) PvE: Bard or Tank
Large Group (>8) PvE: Tank or Bard
Solo PvP: Cleric/Cleric
Small Group (=<8) PvP: Ranger
Large Group (>8) PvP: Mage
