Ive been trying various classes to get into this and I just cant it seems, combat feels really slow and "off" somehow.. or maybe im missing something ?

If you didn't play this game when it first came out, chances are really good that you won't enjoy it now. To be frank: the combat is dated and clunky and harkens back to an earlier time of Everquest where watching your character swing slowly at something was acceptable gameplay. Things have changed, and growing up with MMOs like WoW does make DAoC seem considerably more slow paced and dull.

Friars, Valkyries, and Wardens got styles, but none of the others did. Shamans, Druids, and Clerics could all solo pretty well, with Druids being the standouts thanks to their pets. Healers were the odd man out because of the fact that they really lived up to their name. I think they eventually gave them some kind of damage add buff, but it was still just autoattacking things down, and it came with none of the safety of, say, Druid.

ESO just still felt really clunky in places, unfortunately, especially when it came to control responsiveness and visual/UI feedback. It definitely captured the RvR experience better than any game since DAoC, I'll say that much.
