seems you want to play a caster, i hardly and rarely play arcane magic classes, or cloth wearing ones

ive messed around with a necro and mage, thats it

mage, can solo pretty well, mainly depends on pets at the lower lvls for dmg, i got a mage from 1-20 being geared with 1k in plat, was a dark elf, and lvld him to 20 in about a week and a half solo, but i stuck around the ec area for c, sow and chloro

the enchanter, my younger brother always played this class, anyways, they deal with alot of managing the agro with mezzing stuff, as far as dmg they have some nukes, this class i know very little about, but can make a shit ton of cash later in the game with jewlry

necro, id say one of the near best soloers, gets nice dots, nice utility of self healing, healing others slowly, and fd at a higher lvl, but gets away with lvling fast solo wise, if you know the right spots

wizard, nukes, at the lower lvls, may be a bit slow to lvl up, but ive noticed with higher lvl ones, they get crazy aoe nukes, aoe root, and can solo quite well, i know very little about the class

druids, they dont get sow till 14, good healer, can port around starting at a lower lvl, can id say solo at lvl 19 much easier then a shaman

shamans, my favorite class, theres been some nerfing for spells, ive lvld two shamans to the 50 range, first was a barb, back then i lvld this guy quite fast, certain spells behaved diffrently then it should've in classic, like fury for isntance, so i could solo really easily, lvl 19 dots did much more dps then

but now after some spell nerfs, the lvl 19 dots dont do that great of dmg, when i made my iksar shaman, lvling was slow since the changes made me have to be group dependable, but its nice we get sow at lvl 9, and as long as you stick to the places where people like to group, youll lvl quite fast, 19 dots can do ok dps, but i wasnt able to solo that well till 24 with canni and regen, and at lvl 29 could actually solo, but i did the mm snout quest, and lvld 14-34 doing those trade ins from only 6 hours of farming those things, so i got the lvls quickily

but having a pet is worth it, and the shamans absolutly a fun lvl, i played barb and iksar, the iksar is nice for having extra ac, but i still get hit pretty hard having not that much health, if i had to choose, id go back to my barbarian, i miss bash, and a few other things, or if you want a tougher shaman, go ogre, but i hate the ogre/troll races, yuk, but play what you want to, if you decide the shaman and based on race i can tell you some places to lvl at to quickily lvl your toon, theres not so many lvl 40's lately
