I would suggest a Druid as your first character. They’re pretty decent at melee early on and they’re very adaptable to situations. They also get utility that encompasses the mechanics of almost every class so you’ll end up with a good foundation of how the game is played from a lot of different perspectives.

Starkind has mentioned on a previous thread the benefit of choosing a Druid as your first character is that you can port for money, buff lowbies and make friends with them. Another benefit is the ability to solo loot camps to twink your ranger/sk/pally.

It’s very frustrating to play a ranger/sk/pally as a newb at this state of the servers with no gear, sure a veteran can get by but even the majority of them get a full caster to 60 when returning before twinking the melee they really want to main but I highly discourage this to a new player.

I get it, you want to be a face punching warrior with some arcane abilities, just chill- Druids are capeable at punching faces till 20’s. If you really hate the idea of a Druid go with wizard, you won’t have as great of a foundation and sofar it’s quite a bit harder then Druid soloing but you can, and you will have friends from porting.
