New to 99 - need help choosing class

[mcriket002]

Hiya people! Im not new to MMOs, even played EQ back in PoP days. Never had a character over level 20 though, either back then or now on Live. So I don't know endgame. I don't know gearing. I used to think that getting Platinum was super rare and people with 50+ were basically billionaires. My expectations for the game are a bit different than others that play. I don't expect to raid or get epic gear or be top-end of anything at all. I don't expect to make a ton of money and be a monocle-wearing dude that farts plat. I just want to have fun and adventure, maybe meet some cool folks along the way.

I play pretty casually, because ya know...life..., so it amounts to maybe 2 hours a night, maybe 5-6 hrs if I am off that day and everything else is taken care of. I don't have any friends or a guild or anyone to play with IRL. So probably going to solo most of the time.


All that being said, I need help choosing which class to play. Don't want to play a healer because i've never been good at keeping people alive. Any tank or DPS is fine, needs to be able to decently solo for reasons above. I was kind of leaning towards Monk or SK, because feign death sounds amazing to get out of crazy pulls.

Thanks in advance for help/suggestions!
