if you want a variable available to all instances that says how many
instances exist.  If you want to create an ID that increments with
each instance. If you are storing a path that may change, but all
instances will use it.  If you want to update scaling criteria on
several objects at once, having a class variable set to twips, pixels,
or inches could be just the right tool.  And on and on and on......
