You should try a bard. A bard has so many tools at his disposal that a skilled player can do some magnificent things if one is creative enough.
Learn to AOE kite, best risk Vs reward in game in terms of leveling speed, but if you aren't on the ball the entire time, you will die.
Charm, mez, and lull can make indoor soloing feasible, albeit very dangerous still and limited by mob level and mana.
You keep referring to risk and reward. This is largely going to be whatever you make it out to be. If you want risks, try unconventional tactics in dungeons for named mobs. I don't think banging on your keyboard as you watch your HP drop while dying to a blue con as a warrior is what you want, but sure that technically is a 'challenge.' You may want to pick a necro or enchanter and try solo dungeon crawling as well.
Rewards in EQ are generally items, character statistics (picking a race over another) and making new friends (social rewards). I guess you could also get a sense of accomplishment for killing allizewsaur as a level 30 Druid using only the magic dot line and kiting for an hour.
