for what it's worth, every person i've ever started from scratch on EQ has been a mage. There's just something about "send your pet to kill, zap them with your spell, and click this gate thingy if it starts to look bad" that lets people ease into everything else this game evolves to. Melee have to deal with positioning, and melee range and mob fleeing. Which for somebody without the keyboard/mouse familiarity, can really frustrate you.
Casters probably the best bet, and wizzy or mage are the most simple form to start with.
