Best newbie friendly class/race?(casual player)

[Eternal-Elf]

I've always thought a monk was a terribly easy class to play.......and before you guys all flame me....
They don't need weapons to be decent. their fists damage levels as they do. and they get FD and several nice attacks at various levels which gives you something to really look foward to.
until 30 at least then it's just kinda a grind.
I leveled a monk to 65 on live back in the day and seriously think i died less than 5 times, just due to FD. It's seriously amazing.
I also like necro and mage, which is my favorite >? Don't even ask I am not quite as confident as Wenai is on that subject.
I think were magician is limited in their mana and root problem....a necro is also very limited in WHERE they can fight.
Go take a necro to upper guk, see if they can fear kite their. A mage would do much better soloing a dungeon than a necro i think.
Put them in the plains of the Karana? Sure the necro could solo circles around a mage.

Just depends on the situation I suppose.
