I know you must get this kinda thing all the time but I've just hit 75 on my Infantryman, Galbatore, and have realised I can't really decide whether to go from here. Problem is, I've done all of the research I can and I haven't really found anything definitive to tell me which class would be the one for me or even what the difference between them is! I know you guys aren't physics or anything so I'll try and give as much information as I can to help you guys help me!
My character's path so far was Warrior -> Infantryman, pretty standard. He's got sword mastery (for better or worse) and is full VIT and is an Elf (Well, I am thinking about Magnus after all!). I originally planned to go for Magnus but the closer I got to 75 the more I got tempted by Rune Knight and SM/Crusader afterwards since Knight doesn't sound like a big change from the Infantryman style. However, I must say that I've really enjoyed being able to take a lot of punishment so far, but sometimes I get the feeling that my tankiness doesn't make up for my damage (or lack thereof), especially when I'm being relied on say as main DPS for a healer in a DD :D . I've also felt that Infantryman's been a little repetitive thanks to the standard and super pot burning double-strike - wind slash - blunt shield combo and the pretty poor mobbing.
I'm really looking for a class that can mob very well and endure at least some punishment. Hopefully decent enough to solo with even if a little slow and good for party play. Having an interesting/good variety of skills especially AoE skills would be a huge help for me, but to be fair if the class is much more fun to play and has better damage in general I might be able to deal with less survivability. I also just want to say that the 75-105 gameplay for me DOES matter.
I think I'll make it to 105 but I know getting there will be no walk in the park. I know that going for Magnus you go through Knight and going for Crusader/SM you take Rune Knight (for an Elf). I would really like to know which class out of the two is tankier and which has better mobbing/damage in general. I don't mind if the 105 job change isn't quite as strong as long as I don't have to endure a horrible 30 levels to be honest!
What I know about the classes already (Please correct me if I'm wrong, or add in anything I've missed):
Magnus:
Most Versatile class of the 3, can use any weapon type.
Tankiest class of the 3.
Aura skills, good for party play?
Most common class of the 3?
Don't know about Knight, the prior job advancement, or if its mobbing is any good. It uses Bloody Sky and Rune Impact, right?
SM:
Uses 2 1 handed weapons.
Least tanky of the 3?
Best damage, perhaps single target damage?
Less party utility.
I have no clue what skills it uses for training to be honest :(
Crusader:
Uses 1h + Shield?
Know even less about this than SM.
Would use INT but that build is useless here?
Least Common.
Sorry that was a bit of a wall of text, I just hoped that if I regale you guys with information you might get an idea of what I'm after. Any advice or just explanation of what all of the classes are made for doing would be a big help for me, because those guides, while def. helpful, have just left me more confused than before in some ways!

Hey guys,
