Are ___ really bad? You can fill that blank with "rangers, paladins, and shadow knights" on a raid level. If you're min-maxing then the pure classes put them to shame and they are left with a few buffs to add to the raid party mainly.
If you are looking for some means to solo, fun duos, and awesome grind group contribution they are great classes. For a first class your utility spells can make up for not having the best possible gear. For example...at level 45 you can heal for free with a Deepwater helm and they cost about 400p.
For your first class I'd probably go pure caster. If you can grind a necro or enchanter to 50'ish you will have a boat load of money to start the hybrid off right.
