For someone brand new to eq, the learning curve is definitely hardest with bard. Other classes like shaman enchanter and necro who have extensive toolkits would be 'harder' in the sense that it will take more time and practice to maximize their proficiency in all aspects.
That aspect simply looks at hard in the sense of how complicated they are to play and does not factor in the "hard" part of playing once you reasonably know what you are doing.
For someone NOT new to eq, none of these classes would qualify as candidates for hardest as they can solo and group with minimal gear requirements and have strong abilities gained at low levels. Self sufficient and require little gear. For the person who already knows eq, warrior and rogue. Group and gear dependent for the full scope of levels 1-60. Low end rangers (no duel wield and double attack until later) and knights will have it hard as well, but spells starting at 9 and onward really help to offset this.
