Druid is probably the easiest class to start out as due to their well-roundedness. They can heal, melee (at low levels), nuke, and kite enemies really well for solo. However, for grouping you can only fulfill a support healing role, so it's more solo-oriented.
Necromancer is also very starter-friendly since they are also very self-reliant due to having pets, health siphon, corpse find, and can do decent damage. You will find groups a bit easier with Necro since you can do solid damage and crowd control.
Neither class requires much gear either.
