Easiest class to start with

[loopholbrook]

I'm about to make my first character and am just curious to what the best class to start with was. I was thinking monk, rogue, or shammy would be the easiest? By easiest I meant best class untwinked.
Thanks for the input everyone. This thread has turned into a flamewar twice. You can keep posting here if you want, but I'm done with this thread. Once again, thanks for the help everyone.

Out of those options, if you really want "easiest", then be an Iksar Monk.

Iksar monk def ain't the easiest out of that list bro. I would expect an everquest guru to know more about simplistic questions such as that one.

Monk is too gear dependent. I would go with a shaman personally.

[Fawqueue]

Shammy would be easier out of those options. Non-casting melee classes tend to be mor gear reliant and less capable soloers. Shamans on the other hand become quite capable, with subpar gear, at many things. Start the shammy, then later on you can twink out a rogue/monk and enjoy that experience.

[Trademaster]

Do not question the guru.

Of those options, if you're looking for easy go magician druid or necromancer.

I wasn't limiting it to those options, I was just saying that's what I remembered being easy and was asking for a second opinion.

You seriously going to troll every post I make with your pure idiocy?

Rogues are the absolute worst class in the game at soloing and until Level 10, when they get backstab, they are the worst class in the game in general. If this guy is starting EQ for the first time ever, Rogue is definitely not what he should be playing unless he has a really strong desire to play that class.

Shaman at the earlier levels are not great soloers and since this is his first time playing the game, it may also be difficult to maximize his abilities as a caster.

Starting as a Monk only requires walking up to things, hitting the auto-attack button, and using your attack skills on recharge. Being an Iksar will provide the natural health regen to lessen downtime and they also have infravision, which is absolutely required for anyone starting the game if they want "easy". Plenty of people want Monks in groups and they are less reliant on weapons than all of the other melee classes.

How much did you play EQ before? Also, do you have a general idea of what you'd eventually like to do in the game?

If it's open to any class, and "easiest" is really the only concern, then Trademaster is correct. Necromancer, Magician, or Druid.

Bro if hes a newb iksar will give him a hard time moving around the wide world of norrath. Also monks are way too gear dependant. Aren't you supposed to be some kind of certified expert or something? A guru of everquest knowledge?
