What hardly ever gets brought up in these type of threads is what is your playing style??
If say you are a women that has little kids no way you should really be the main healer, ergo, Cleric in a group. Nor be the main Tank. You have to be there most of the time to play those classes. It is hard enough on here to get groups and it does not take a lot for them to break up either. Having someone afk half the time in a group pretty much sucks to most people in it. I know it does for me. Everyone has to be afk a few times, doorbell, phone, kids fighting, etc. but. So think more on the lines of a class that can do both. Solo and group.
Some classes take a hell of a lot of skill and knowledge of zones to play. So if a person is brand new to this game, it might be better to play say a Mage and watch and learn how a harder class is played in groups to make one of them. Having group members die left and right is not a lot of fun and you also get a bad rep doing it.
But the only real way to learn a class is to just go out and do it. I NEVER could twist worth a crap so I never played a Bard very much till live came out with Melody. And Melody will never be in this game.
But there is a reason people have alts or play classes that can be good at solo and grouping. I have 16 alts on here alone, so he is without sin lol.
