New guy conflicted on class choice.

So I played EQ way back in the beginning and would love to get back into the game here on project99 but I am having trouble figuring out which class I want to begin with. My main in the past was a shaman, but of course dabbled with other classes as well.

I want to play something that is both able to solo and doesn't have a lot of trouble finding groups. I like the idea of being a hybrid or a melee class but they seem fairly gear dependent. By looking around I have narrowed it down to possibly playing a bard, shaman, enchanter.... or maybe even a wizard for the ability to teleport.

Any advice would be welcome.

Thanks,
