Depends what kind of dps class.

There's really only three dps. The Fire main does condition spam, the Wind main does AOE dmg, and the Lightning main does single target.

Utility: Lightning can disable other team's combos because he's the only one allowed to do great single target damage. Wind can hit the entire enemy team with a giant rasengan that fires twice over two turns, so it can easily deal with clone spam. Fire c*so deal with the clones we currently have if it uses the dragon jutsu but it's also about immobilize, sleep, ignition, and reflecting status effects you try to put on it.

There's really no strongest. People will think Lightning is strong or Earth is weak but that's CURRENTLY their impression because they haven't seen what's in store in the future meta. As more ninja get added and more power unlocked, the strongest changes.

If you're not interested in conditions and just want someone who can obliterate ninjas with damage then go with Wind main. Reason being Wind has access to excellent AOE and some of the strongest and longest combos in the game as well as clone spam for defense. It would be the top tier character class were it not for Fire's many nasty tricks that at times are more annoying and deadlier.

Also, Wind counters Lightning so you'd still be stronger than the single target DPS guys.

Considering you get access to all of the classes later, just don't play Earth right now if it's going to make you quit.

Sometime in September you can switch to Earth when you have access to the Pains from the shops.

As with lots of MMOs, few people start playing as a tank right away. They pick a dps class like Rogue or Wizard for their first character so they can solo easier and level fast. Then they make *t tank and gear him up with awesome stuff so he can level faster and solo better. Same story here, don't play a tank as your first character unless you can stand playing every match to 10 rounds and winning on most health.
