I'll put up the ranking up first then you can read why afterwards.
Pvp: Dragoons
Bsq: Sorcerer
Emporia: Sorcerer
You should know why already why it is ranked like that.
BUT! It depends on your play style and what role you want to play.
First is pvp in a 1v1 or a small fight.
Dragoons are excellent in both Air and ground combat. Time Aura is not banned in normal pvp making one able to cast more skills with less time and cool downs at the cost of mana sucked out of you. You can easily adjust when to turn it on and off to reduce mana consumption. It is pretty easy to catch other players compared to sorcerers by a large margin so if you like to be the first one to barge out into the battlefield this class is a nice pick.
Sorcerers on the other hand excels in ground combat at the cost of not being to compete or hit airborne targets with the exception of a few "jump X" in 1v1s of course. The only thing that makes this class hard to fight with is the fact that it is difficult to catch someone that knows not to stand in your freeze or in front of you. When you do catch a player the reward is extremely high. Although recently many players do not like sorcerers to lock in pvp which is really wierd considering how most skills are used once you land the first freeze. So if you love a good challenge roll sorcerer.
Bsq
Dragoons have been nerfed so hard it's amazing to see even one in bsq in high leveled areas. In my opinion Dragoons are more of a leading support. They go out first and try to catch the high priority targets with a cross cut or other methods. Then after catching your team mates should generally follow up and destroy them along with you continuing to lock or crowd control. Remember that time aura is disabled here so you won't be able to cast skills relatively fast compared to with the aura.
Sorcerers make everyone go crazy in bsq with their penguins and blizzards. They can heavily lock down targets as long as they can catch or follow up on someone who catches. They are not damage dealers 90% of your skills do not proc elemental damage. So your basically the tanky healer who supports, it is also a good thing if you can get a flag if you think you are fat enough to not die in a few hits.
Emporia
Dragoons can catch players and do some damage with elemental attacks. Since in emporia you can change islands relatively quickly after getting caught it is best if you can do a lot of damage to players.
Sorcerers job is just to either lock people to force them to a different island or stick to dragons and the stone and smack it all day without focusing other players. Basically turn on pve mode.
I rushed a little bit at the end, but this all depends on what role you will have the most fun with. Dragoons can not heal or tank as much as sorcerers, but allows your team to follow up so that the sorcerers or any other heavy crowd controllers can come in and catch someone. So do not expect to live forever. I will not tell you which one to choose, but I hope this will help you choose on your own rather than letting someone choose for you.
If you want to learn combos or learn how to catch, stack, what to do, or anything in general feel free to pop me a pm, I'll gladly help you out.
